invector Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 As we all look forward to the new year I wondered what people thought about developments to pigeon shooting? If some enterprising company could, in the future, come out with an affordable and portable system that would throw a hologram of pigeons dropping in to live pigeons on the ground we could throw away our deeks!! DEFRA originally wanted anyone catching birds in a Larsen trap to kill them `out of sight of the captive bird` so that it wouldn`t be distressed. (I believe this has now been restricted to Canada geese only.) Imagine the implications if this had been widened to include all shooting. No more rights and lefts, and we would have to shoot birds singly, just in case a following bird witnessed the shot. Imagine waiting until only only rabbit showed itself before you could shoot. Without the BASC (et al) stupid laws such as this might be passed in the future and affect us all. Mad, but you never know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Yes, anybody thats ever had to hump one of the "Original Pigeon Magnets" (as peddled by young Will B a little while ago), complete with car battery, across a 500 yard wet ploughed field without the benefit of an all-terrain forked lift truck would dearly love a space age hologram deek kit...!!
