woodywoo Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 This is only my second post so please bear with me, anyway continuing from my 1st post, I bought a few days ago a pigeon magnet from www.pigeon-############## and tried it out today for the first time. I have looked at the field the day before and picked my spot, just under a tree, I decided to use my DT10 because it fits me better, WRONG IDEA, tell you later about that. I get up the pigeon magnet, with a few decoys I already had, I was going to throw some bread out from my sandwiches as well to see if I get any action. Well I did not have time to even open my lunch box, flask or magazine. The first batch came in and missed all of them, never mind. Anyway to cut a long storey short, I never eat, drank or read my mag, but I did shoot 200+ birds, I could not get the tops off the cartridge boxes quick enough. I am so excited I could not believe it, the pigeons were literally committing suicide, and well if I was a better shot then they might have. Anyway the moral is don’t take a DT10 when you have a semi auto at home and I am sure I would have shot even more if I had turned the magnet on, only kidding. FANTASTIC, BUY ONE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 Woodywoo, Welcome to the forum - do you live near Bicester, by any chance.. Somehow your post doesn't quite cut the mustard, and I suspect that you are bulls**tting us, for whatever reason..?? As for your 200+ bag on your first day out, I suspect you've got the decimal point a bit wrong old chap, and a bag of about 20+, (i.e. 21), would be nearer the mark... As you are a self confessed **** shot, shooting 200+ at this time of year simply isn't on, especially as you tried to lure them in by throwing bread out of the hide...what would Invector say about that little trick..?? Good luck on your future outings...do let us all know how you get on. Catamong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno 357 Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) Me and Simmo shot 200 plus on Tuesday Only because we used one of these in our decoy pattern. I wanted to use it next week as I'm out on a shoot again, but it has got to go back. Due for the MOT PM me if you want to borrow it. I'll kick ya in the nuts if ya scratch it though Jonno (1664) Edited December 8, 2005 by jonno 357 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cranfield Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 None of us know if woodywoo shot over 200 pigeons and I agree that some of his comments about being a bad shot, throwing pieces of sandwich out to attract the birds, etc., seemed a bit strange in the circumstances. However, why not give him the benefit of the doubt, it won't reduce our life expectancies, or cause us any similar personal loss ? I never take a camera on any shooting expeditions and rarely (regrettably) take one fishing, so any of my ( and a few other long term members) field reports, have to be taken on trust. This doesn't cause me any embarrassment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 However, why not give him the benefit of the doubt, it won't reduce our life expectancies, or cause us any similar personal loss ? yes you are right. but seen as he has put it on an open forum surely we are allowed to discus it between our selfs. without having to believe every single word of it.i think it is very astute of a new shooter to be have over 500 shells just in case there are birds a plenty to be had. many new shooters would not carry this many in the motor.good luck to the lad. if he is kidding then he is only kidding himself.

invector Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Catamong, you asked what Invector would say about this post. I find it difficult to believe and would appreciate some photos, or other evidence. As for the bread, ask Will about the client he took out, who bought some breakfast cereals and placed a little heap in front of each deek!! In fact it might be a good idea to also ask Will if he, or his clients, have shot 200 birds over rape lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 (edited) In fact it might be a good idea to also ask Will if he, or his clients, have shot 200 birds over rape lately? People are assuming this bag was shot over rape In fact i dont think Woodywoo mentioned what he was shooting over at all. So to clear this point up Woodywoo what were you shooting over. PS good bag Edited December 8, 2005 by hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country_est Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I think that this is referenced in the other post and verified by Will B see post Try here Looks like a red letter day for all concerned...
