Sprinter Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Looks like i might be getting a new bit of ground due to a chance conversation........ Started chatting to a guy in the butchers, i was just back from dogging in dressed like a ragamuffin and he asked what i had been up to. Explained all and that i had shot a few pigeon last week to which his eyes lit up. Turns out he has a fair bit of land about 15 miles away and his rape is starting to get hammered. He apparently has a guy that begged him for permission a while back but he rarely sees him, only on the odd saturday. When the guy does see him he is shooting no birds (cant get them to decoy apparently) and leaving a bit of a mess behind him when he does shoot some. Now i'm not one to tread on anothers toes, but gift horses and mouths and all that. Anyway to be fair i said to the chap that he should have a word with his saturday guy and see what the picture is as i can be available Mon-Fri at the moment. Maybe agree that i have a bash at them tue wed thu and leave them be Fridays Saturdays and Sundays for him to have a go. So guys what i am trying to say is if you have permission to shoot somewhere make sure that you do. Keep on top of what is happening and speak to your farmer/ permission owner regularly. Learn a bit of fieldcraft and get the best results you can, when you do this make sure your take all of your rubbish home with you and respect the land you shoot over. Otherwise someone else is always willing to do it for you......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David BASC Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Ha Ha, I am sure you are joking, but just incase anyone reading this does not know, 'dogging in' is a term used when you use working dogs such as labs or springers to work the boundry of a game shoot to 'dog the birds' back onto your land and to stop them wandering off to someone elses land! It is very effective early on in the season, indeed, a couple of weeks hard dogging in (stop laughing at the back) can work wonders, you and almost 'train' pheasants to stop wandering.
