Cranfield Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 As the Forum is called "Pigeon WATCH" , I thought 20citori20,s posts formulated "An American VIEW". Corny, but I couldn,t think of anything else. :( Another great shoot. I have never thought of videotaping pigeon shooting. Although I normally shoot alone, I have shot with other people and I do have a digital camcorder. Did you know that the US has a different video formatting to us ? Our VHS tapes don,t work over there and vice versa. It costs about £50 to get a tape "converted". I have some great videos of fishing trips. They are as good as the ones you see on the Discovery channels, in fact they are funnier and more relaxed. Got the 195lb Common Skate, 80lb Blue Shark plus lots of "normal" fish all on tape. I must give a thought to the pigeon taping though, that could be fun. I am suprised that when deciding on the area that you are going to move to, you didn,t consider your hobbies. "All work and no play etc etc..........". Does your wife/partner (assuming you have one) have any interest in hunting ? I know a few chaps who take their ladies fishing with them and a few of the ladies actually fish. But, I have never known any chaps whose ladies like to hunt. Do any of the forum members know any shootin ladies ? Theirs or someone elses, it doesn,t matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdowns hunter Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 I have worked with a lot of americans and nearly all of the hunt in some form whether its with rifle shotgun or bow, and quite a few of them have told me about their wives and mothers being better shots than themselves, I have met a few ladies at clay shoots but none in the field I dont think that i would like to take my wife out when im shooting as I go shooting to get away from her, Now if it were another mans wife then maybe i would consider it as long as she kept her mouth shut :love: :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted August 1, 2002 Report Share Posted August 1, 2002 I went to a Wildlife Park with the family a few weeks ago and took the video camera. When I copied the tape a few days ago my wife was a bit angry (but not surprized) to find that I had extensive footage of a group of woodpigeon grazing the clover in the Rhino enclosure. :( She forgave me though! And yes I know I'm sad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
