A great result, I bet there's not many pigeon shooters will up sticks and move if things arn't right, I know I haven't in past trips, yamas!

A Very good day gents, thanks for posting muncher!

Definitely going to be hard to beat aga man, a great picture to remember that day by, I bet you won't forgot the head ache all those shots gave you either!

They look to have a really good year, quite a few are just getting there neck bars but then some are just off the nest, all very good eating, me and the girls have just polished off young pigeon and chips!

Thanks gents!

Cheers Aga man, kind of you to say. Unfortunately no pics for some reason I totally forgot to take any! That said I'd have had to text them to you as I can't post pics!

Good work lads!

I've been watching some bean stubble for a friend since last Thursday when it was cut, the farm drills in blocks so there is two massive fields and one smaller one all together,but with plenty of hedges and trees to set up on. the pigeons found it by Saturday but Monday was the first chance we had to shoot it, the birds hadn't been turning up till 12/1pm so we set up for 12 both under a sitty tree a 100yrds apart pigeons came lovely to both of us from the outset, I had a magnet and flapper and 10 shells, my mate had 12 shells and a flapper we wrapped up at 5pm with 96, 47 falling to my gun my new pb! Also I should mention I took all shot birds in to avoid fly blow so they decoyed to shells! Today saw us set out again to try our luck, although we had had steady trade last time we had noticed a lot of traffic over the far end of the field and we decided to set up there, not much movement at 11:30 to give us a clue but we picked our spots and set up. Same pattern as before. again the birds came well,more so to my mate by the sound of it, but as the day wore on it turned out I'd plonked myself under a flightline cross roads with birds coming from three directions! But I'd tucked myself in a hawthorn hedge and restricted my shooting so I decided stand 5yrds to one side of my hide and had some fantastic sport from 3pm till 4:30pm,every shot in the book, and a lot of cartridges later we packed up at 5pm 49 for my pal, 50 for me! (Pb again!) I'd guess over 50% of all the birds shot were young un's and we both agreed there is still another day to be had as long as the stubble remains.

Tawny owl or buzzards!

Great day out Daz thanks for posting! Confidence is key to everything so today has set you up for many years service from the enforcers

The times they are a changing! The farmer I shoot for has had a nightmare with rape this year, full of weeds and poor, I talked to another today and he said he's had to plant some that sounds like your radish sort marshman, as a green none consumable crop, as natural soil improver, my mate had to do this and used mustard then ploughed it in, nice picture agaman I thought for a second you'd had a day's shooting over it!

A good do all round! Good on you Motty for laying a day on.

A very honest report, Your really embracing this pensioner roll arn't you?

Good on you Daz I would have some if they dropped the price, the proof will be in the decoying!

Yeah this is a better response than I'd hoped for, the barrels were in a neighbours shed no sign of the rest of it I'm afraid, going to fashion them into a standard lamp I think!

That's brilliant panoma! Thanks very much!

Thanks your reply matone, I'll keep at it, going to ask the local gunsmiths next time I'm there

Not my cup of tea, I'm sure it goes lovely with a falafel! Thanks for the compliment Jdog! I like to think we both come away richer from our meetings!

Sorry matone, there steel, nowt special but it sparked my curiosity

Hello! I've been given a set of barrels in very poor condition but you can just make out James Wilson goodramgate york on the rib, google throws up nothing just wondered if the PW font of knowledge could shed any light on them? Thankyou! Edit; feel a bit of a fool I've just checked them and it's James WILSON not Taylor! What a numpty!

Haha! Cheers mate! And a nice English side by side to put it on?!

Does anyone know if they fit on a side by side? I'm not planning on buying one but just wondered

I bulk out my dogs food with pigeon breast and he loves it,I think it's a bit rich so only one or two breasts a day, I cut it into chunks with scissors.

Now the nights are drawing in,back on the rats, 32 in the stack yard 1007

They are stunning pictures Dave you have an eye for a shot!
