Chris G Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 (Mods; if this is in the wrong place then please move it). Hi. I'm a newby on here. I'm desperately in need of 2-3 pigeons in feather and a rabbit. I've tried all the butchers, but (as I've found out) thanks to the EU they can't sell pigeons in feather. It may seem like an odd request (pigeons in feather), but I want to practice crowning a pigeon and it's rather hard to do that when someone has already done it! I also need to practice butchering a rabbit, so any help with supply of these also appreciated. I'm in Sandbach so it sounds as though some of you are very local to me. Thanks for the help Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris G Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I had thought of that , but no gun/licence, no time, no local landowner contacts & need them by next weekend at the latest hence request for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utectok Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 I would have thought you would get a licence practise find a permission make some time for the sport and shoot some pigeons then learn to crown?? that's the way most of us do it!

Chris G Posted November 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Shooting isn't hobby that I have started yet. I'm a trainee Bushcraft & Survival Instructor I need to be able to demonstrate to students how to crown a pigeon. I've done it a few times already, but I'm leading a session at the end of the month and want to practice again before standing in front of 20 paying students. Also an oportunity to get my patter off to a tee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utectok Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 (edited) Interesting my wife does forest schools that have alot in common with bushcraft shame your not closer or I'd help out! Good luck Will Ps you could crown a pheasant or partridge it's the same process. Edited November 11, 2010 by utectok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
