TOM'S DAD Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Taken these photo's of a young pigeon that has been hanging around for several days in our front car park. Cock & Hen bird still paying visits to feed. Beautiful sight to see. Only one 'sqeaker' though! Cock bird usually sits in rear garden trees which go up into the wood at rear of our home. and some more..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOM'S DAD Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 so can you shoot ferals in your garden but only woodies in the field WHY DO YOU WANT TO SHOOT THEM IN YOUR GARDEN. THEY DONT DO ANY HARM IN YOUR GARDEN AND YOU COULD LEARN ABOUT PIGEON HABITS BY WATCHING THEM, AND APPRECIATING THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE, A BEAUTIFUL BIRD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbivvy Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 so can you shoot ferals in your garden but only woodies in the field to be honest young un,if i had rabid dogs in the garden i would not shoot em, as sooner rather than later a arv will be in the drive.

TOM'S DAD Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SHOW RESPECT FOR YOUR QUARRY. SOME OF THE BIRDS AND ANIMALS WE HUNT AND SHOOT ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. COCK PHEASANTS, WOODPIGEON, RABBITS, FOXES ETC.... ARE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. YOU WOULD ALSO LEARN A LOT FROM JUST WATCHING THESE ANIMALS/ BIRDS WHICH WOULD HELP IN YOUR FUTURE HUNTING/ SHOOTING FORAYS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
