bobt Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 we have problems locally with bird watchers, they stop and record local shoots hoping to find illegle practices, we have loads of new hawks suddenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 We had a possible "anti alert" today at a cockshoot,a silver honda cv/hv 4x4 slowed and stopped while we were walking out to the pins.After 10 mins or so it carried on,we hadn`t even seen a bird yet,but came back shortly and stayed until the end of the drive.I had intended to take their plate no. but they were away too quick.Thing is there was a flash of a lens,either bins or a camera,so I don`t expect they were watching to see some sporting excellence(fat chance with the muppets on my team). If anyone sees my mug on an anti web site let me know,I`m the one that takes a couple of feathers out of a redleg crossing at 40-50yds. When I am out and about and see a Shoot near the road, someone pigeon shooting, or a Hunt, I will often stop (in a safe place), get the binoculars out and watch for a while. I know lots of fellow shooters that do this. Lets not turn our paranoia meters up too high, Gentleman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
