andy911 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 Hi All, still looking for a supply of Steel shot pigeons in the beds/Herts area to feed to my Falcons. Had some response which I appreciate but still need some more! Are people worried about using steel? Do they know it is only just over a fiver a box of 25? Is no-one shooting Pigeons locally? Awkward time of the year maybe? Or simply do I have to offer more than 50p per bird?? Tried shooting them myself but only get very low numbers - not a great shot and not had much success with decoys! Any help appreciated! Many thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 I don't know of a single shooter in the local area shooting game / pest with Steel loads. You might be out of luck.. GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 i'm happy to give it a go (as said before), but i've just not had any opportunities to shoot any of the bloody things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted May 4, 2011 Report Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yes, it's a quiet time of year I'm afraid, most of the birds are now staying in the woods nesting, there won't be many around until the Barley gets laid in late June / July. I've still got some steel shells left and will look to use them all up when I next go out, but unless they start hitting the peas, I won't bother going out for some while. Cat.

Many thanks, I'd appreciate anything you can get as have chicks to feed at the moment and they make great food. I still have some left but thinking ahead.
