hunterswind9465 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Total for the day wait for it 922 Pigeons shot by 5 of our clients in Aberdeenshire in 1 day. Was shot on rape over 10 square miles. Clients shot over 5500 shells. Who would go and shoot in England when we can get huge numbers like this in the North of Scotland ?:D??? __________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterswind9465 Posted April 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Was a realy windy day 1st bird down most times but all gone by second shot, The guy who had the 467 was in a bit of a valley it was great to watch we would have had more but ran out of shells and the gun shop was 30 odd miles away.

Catamong Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 HW, A good bag, but what an appalling kills / cartridges ratio, nearly six shots fired for every bird picked up. There must have been many hundreds of birds wounded by such poor marksmanship. Were the guns foreigners, by any chance..?? Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence intended but Scotland stinks ask my mate Highlander came down south got his pasport stamped met mrs Highlander and nerver went back, cant say I blame him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 6:1 **** ratio. Mind you the Jocks can't shoot shooty's. Pavman, I know what you mean, but the hills are nice if you like that sort of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavman Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Pavman, I know what you mean, but the hills are nice if you like that sort of thing. And the buildings are grey, cold and hard as Granite, just like the women folk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Nice to see such a bag even if the c to k ratio was s****. Well done. Like to know the weather conditions, temperature, wind direction, cloudy, sunny etc etc perhaps you'd post. My only misgiving is that by showing such pictures some on here (and maybe elsewhere) get the impression this is the norm when we (should) all know better. There are many more days when the bags are a lot less (sometimes almost none existent) than these 'once in a blue moon' outings. It's like the DVD's who's gonna show a bad day??? but they are the norm. For bad read...even a bad day shooting pigeons is still better than a good day at work! As for Aberdeenshire I luvvv the place. Wet, cold and miserable but one of the finest wild quarry shooting areas in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat. who cares about ratios get a grip you jealous boys i would shoot loads more than that if i had to get a great bag like this. well done lads dont listen to these mumpin englishmen keep up the good work and good luck with youre next punters cheers kirky if u dont put lead in the air u wont kill it !!!!!!!!! and cartriges are cheap go shooting to shoot things not count shells Edited April 6, 2006 by kirky640 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 so basically kirky youd be happy to shoot a thousand cartridges to get a 100 pigeons ? you must be a seriously **** shot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterswind9465 Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 (edited) Hey I can shoot as good as anyone, Dont tell me that when you are roost shooting you can do better than 6 to 1. I would rather shoot 20 shells and get a cracker than shoot none at all. The day the big bag was shot there was a 35 mph gale as soon as you popped your head up over the hide the pigeons were on their way out of the decoys. I think there are just to many people shooting pigeons in the summer down south time for a closed season !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

roe doe Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 it all depend if you want to shoot them just as there feet hit the deck or 40-50 scorcher end of the day does it matter how many shot you fire beening out and enjoying your self. how many of these threads are just sour grapes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yep the clients were all from Italy great people and left a good tip Just shows that using a good guide who looks after his ground pays off Italians...that explains the c to k ratio, surprised it wasn't more.

Frank Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Yep the clients were all from Italy These same people have in some parts of Irealnd, made our native irish hare almost instinct :blink: They shoot everything that gets up in front of them and im not exaggerating, i have seen it with my own eyes. They are unsafe, triger happy greedy and throw money to any guied to get them as much game as possible. They have no respect for their quarry, the more they shoot the better, numbers mean a lot to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
