JDog Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Pigeon shooters must spend a lot of time looking into farmers fields rather than at the road when they are driving especially at this time of year when pigeon shooting is approaching 'fever pitch'. Does this mean that they can be classified as dangerous drivers in the countryside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 No more than city dwellers leching at the girls in short skirts. Gentlemen, my question was rhetorical I must admit but it didn't take very long for the responses to veer wide of the mark. Here's the converse. If I asked a townie whether or not he drove dangerously when he was passing the entrance to a girls school at home time would he say that he drove no more dangerously than those country people looking for pigeons?

pigeon controller Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I drove down to Greece this year scanning for pigeons and all the way back. When I was working I did approx 35,000 miles a year and only modified the back end of a lorry once trying to follow a flight line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
