activeviii Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 The birds are back again after the spaying. still not one bit flock but lots of smaller ones. but there was a good 1000 there today and still feeding when i walked back to the truck as 4pm. Have space for 4 more hides if there's anyone that want to come along. You might get a few Pigeons but then you might not so its winter shooting pot-luck i guess. Insurance and experience. Pigeons and black stuff only. Your own decoying gear. Full day up to 4pm (unless the birds are not playing fair) Some walking to get to spots but its not miles. Tuesday 29th 8:30am-4pm Gloucester Need to know ASAP so i can let the farmer know. Kind regards Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Phil, another excellent offer mate I'd love to join you if that's OK? I wonder, how many mince pies are burned off carrying a full load of decoying kit across a field or two?

activeviii Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 think i might have left this a bit late as its only 1 person so far . space for 3 more as there's loads of birds and loads of rape to try and cover (hope i havent talked these birds off.ha ha). 7 fields in all with a couple of them being rather large. 3 more hide needed. father and son or even mother and daughter or if its an experienced shooting wanting to bring a new lad along in hide with them then that fine as long as you have the insurance.

fletcher1234565 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Hi Phil. Is there any chance that i would be able to come and sit in the hide with someone. I will be more than happy to help carry equipment. I am trying to get back into shooting, as i used to go out with my father. I would like to get back out there and gain some experience before i go out with the shot gun on my own. Please let me know. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Fletcher. if i can get the numbers then you can come in with me and teach me a thing or two.

Blunderbuss Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Phil, as discussed I can think of a very experienced and safe shot (and forum member) local to me who may be interested, I'll give him a shout and see. Looking forward to it. Although I've enjoyed Christmas I've had a few too many days cooped up in the house, so it will be great to get out whether or not we get any birds. I'll let you know one way or the other about the possible help, and either way I'll see you at 08:30 tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A bolt 22.250 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Thanks for getting back to me Phil. Look forward to seeing you tommorrow 8.30am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Dave, great stuff. Bolt, not a problem. Catch you guys tomorrow. If anyone else whats and have gear then shout tonight. ATB Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunderbuss Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Phil no joy getting hold of Mike, dunno if he's gone away. Three shooters (and a keen helper) should keep the birds moving, I can be a human gas banger all day long B) We are forecast heavy snow tonight and I live on top of a steep hill, so fingers crossed that the weather doesn't prevent me getting there. The forecast for Gloucester doesn't look quite so bad though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Lots and lots of snow and a big brush would be good. Been waiting for snow for ages as the kids love the sled but still none here this year yet. I dont know where A Bolt is coming from but if it is snowing that hard and heavy you might be snowed in so it will be down to just 2. the pup might have to stay in tomorrow as well as he is very brown after today and the wife is not happy.lmao. her fault as she didnt want him in the garden like most working types so now she has spent the last hour trying to brush him out.lmao. plus i have no coat for him yet as he gets cold as he still has no undercoat. clear skies here at moment.

Fisherman Mike Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Very Kind offer Phil....Good of you to put it up on the open forum Next time maybe I will be in a position to take it up and join you. Heavy Snow forecast tonight, but here at the moment its just too bloody cold. Dave, Read your mail and thanks also, see you soon. Loads of pigeons flocked up as tight as Scrooges wallet around here at the moment. Trouble is plenty of Rape also. Happy New year to all when it gets here.
