  3. Windy afternoon flightline shooting

    in Talk From The Field

    Posted

    My first time flightline shooting started with meeting up with Jdog for the the second weekend on the trot in hope to decoy pigeon on bean stubbles or cultivated bean stubble fields but last week ended with 3 and this week was looking very similar anyway by the afternoon we found some birds  but the weather was against us strong wind and an horrible drizzle  so Jdog suggested a couple of hours tucked in the hedge a net in front  and have a go a some birds flighting having never done this it was  going to be a challenge but it was a great afternoon after a few misses  I got a my eye in  and started to hit a few Jdog on the other hand was smashing them but some where just impossible to get on jinking all over the place in the wind ... we ended up with 25 and a jay so some great sport was to be had in trying conditions and I loved it

    But are you not allowed to prevent for

    If all of the fields you have access to are stubble then you aren't preventing any serious damage are you? 

    You can't be responsible for crops not controlled by either you as a landowner or managed by a landowner who has not engaged you. 

    future Crops if said fields had been attacked and caused serious damage throughout the year before they where harvested ..... the OP never stated what bird were flying over either

    If I have fields to shoot over And they are all stubble can I legal shoot them

    Can you reword that? I'm not sure I understand. 

    The General Licence requires the shooter to prove that the pigeons they are shooting are causing serious damage and that they have taken adequate steps to avoid the need for lethal control. 

    If you can't/haven't done those things you are breaking the law. 

    I totally agree. 

    The General Licence always was ridiculous which is why nobody, or at least very few actually followed the conditions for all the species covered. That is why they were challenged and why we came under and remain under scrutiny.

    It doesn't matter whether you or I agree with them or not though. They're all we have at the moment.

    So if I shoot a pigeon and it as an empty crop that must be illegal as I ain’t causing damage and Shooting over stubble is to prevent serious damage to other crops it does not say other crops on the bit of land you have permission on so is that illegal if your perm As no crops left to harvest????

    If you want to step it up another level, try it with snap caps. . . . you may only get 9/10 but good practice as it makes you follow through your shot

    During lockdown all I did was stand in the garden shooting at pigeons with snap caps and the next time I went out After lockdown shot petty well So if you can and have time it is worth doing

    I tend to look after my kit and crazy, I know, even FUDS get washed. Nor do I see the connection between state of decoys and numbers of pigeons shot. Do tell. 

     Incidentally, I don't buy this "experience" thing. It's the thinking shooters who will succeed. In my experience a lot of so called experienced pigeon shooters are as thick as the proverbial. Naturally,  Forum members excepted. Thick people can do OK in a limited and narrow way which is true in life including pigeon shooting. But the bright ones will eventually come out on top. 

    This must be why your so argumentative When  people try and share there experience with  You .. You may shoot more if you listen to some of the guys on here rather that argue with them as there will come a point when no one reply’s to your threads
