Jmgrain Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi, I am new to shooting live pigeons, so I would like some help please. I have permission to shoot land that has two large fields of Barley, at the moment the shoots are about 2.5 inches long with no birds to be seen. I am wondering what happens through the year as the crops grow, when do the pigeons and crows come back, do Pheasants and rabbits like these crops at any time, and how should I prepare for this. Is it possible to get organized day shooting, I live in Derbyshire DE55. A lot of questions. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
