Definitely a lot on the fields in my part of Fenland. Loads in the garden too, taunting me day in day out!
-
Very similar here. The ferals come off of nearby grain silos. Maybe I’ve been lucky not seeing any stock doves as they do seem abundant in other areas. That’s a very good idea about the plumage and something I’ll probably stick to as it’s definitely not a mistake I’d want to make.
-
Great info, thanks 👍🏼
-
Absolutely. I’ve let quite a few ferals go as I wasn’t 100% sure. We have a lot of collared doves around too so it pays to be careful. I haven’t seen any stock doves but out of interest, what makes them stand out in shape and flight?
-
100% agree. Once they start coming in they make every pigeon in the area take notice.
-
And there was me thinking I was some sort of feral pigeon whisperer that had unbelievable Decoying skills!!! 😂
-
Does anyone else find that ferals come into decoys a lot more than woods? Sometimes I’m still setting up and they are coming in. There is a good flock of them but there’s plenty of woodies around too. Just curious as to others experience?

Thank you 👍🏼

That’s incredibly kind of you bruno22rf. I just may take you up on that offer at some point.
-
Good point! I think my first job should be chasing up the land being cleared!
-
I’ve never even given that avenue any thought. It’s something I will definitely investigate.
-
That’s a fantastic offer and very much appreciated! Thanks figgy. I’ll certainly look into that.

I do have land for the sec 1 shotgun. Unfortunately the permission for the .22 is under Lincolnshire police and seemed to cause a headache all round. Thanks for the replies Rewulf. It’s much appreciated!

I was told by the fao that I need more experience (someone to vouch for me) as I can’t prove my experience with a rifle due to the little experience I have being obtained in Canada. I’ve held a SGC for sometime which is why the section one shotgun was issued. it was agreed that once I’ve got a bit more experience it would be easier to apply for a variation than refuse my application and re apply. im not aware of any clubs apart from Cambridge GC which have only been to a few times. I do have a permission that was needing to be cleared by a different police authority but COVID came and stopped everything in its tracks. its all a bit long winded but hopefully that gives you an idea!

Hello all, I’m in March, Cambridgeshire and in need of some rifle experience. I’ve got my FAC but only for a semi auto 12 bore. I need a bit more experience before I can apply for a variation and get a .22LR added to my ticket. unfortunately I don’t have anything to offer in return Shooting wise but I thought this was the best place to start and ask for help. many thanks, Paul.
