Jega Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Right enough mickey taking lads ,you can shoot clays any day of the year mate .Depending on where you live there is usually a club or organised shoot most week ends throughout the year, they arent all registered through the C.P.S.A. .Get yourself along and have a look around at the various disciplines that are available .

Salopian Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Right enough mickey taking lads ,you can shoot clays any day of the year mate. Slightly incorrect there Sir. It is illegal to shoot on Christmas Day. If we had a closed season for clayshooting to allow them to breed, There would be more wild ones available, so rough shooting would be cheaper.

Any idea of the ideal breeding conditions / land type? I'll see if I can get permission to set up some breeding cages and try it! Can the orange /blue /black ones interbreed or are genetic mutations a risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) It's not the interbreeding you have to look out for or even the possibilty of an orange merging into a pink, but if they stray off the cpsa area into a straw bale area now that could really end up don't go down that road. from Auntie.

Bloke Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Seriously though, is there a risk from the feral ones? What if they swarm? (Or is it 'flock') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmouse Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) I found what I believe to be a clay pigeons nest once. It was full of teeny weeny little ones. I believe they call them minis. Unruly little devils and very fast but they tire quickly. Edited November 4, 2010 by hillmouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 Just don't shoot white ones, they are very rare and protected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Christmas day is a new one to me, is that some ancient law, anyway, as far as I am aware 365 days a year, and now and again 366 days a year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
