jef Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 If you're doing it as a hobby/DIY shoot for four or five days in the season just do what you can afford. Don't work out what each bird is costing you and don't anticipate returns. Just have a few days out with like minded folk, a wee drink and great craic through out the season.

rapid12 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 thanks again. lots of ideas and comments. this mornings thoughts where i was going to sack the idea but like most of you have said, i am going to put down a few birds for me , dad and a couple others i allow to shoot on my land. think it will spice up our winter shooting. i know the shoot next to me will boost the numbers by about 100 so might have some good walked up days. thanks all. 12.

Alycidon Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 You can always release a few 'tired ladies', ex game farm layers. They can go straight to wood with no need for pens etc. They would provide a bit of sport. I would suggest that if you did get into developing a shoot you work very closely with the landowner, this is best if the landowner has an interest, ie a few guns, next best is to provide him with a full driven day free of charge.
