Gee. Posted December 25, 2012 Report Share Posted December 25, 2012 Hi Neil, Im after land to shoot pigeons on mate, if I get some then you are welcome to join me as im after someone with decoying experience to show me the ropes. Hopefully wont be too long before I get some as I seem to have a nack of gaining permissions. That's the sad part of living in our area as the vast majority of the farms are cattle not rape, altho saying that one of my permissions did plant a field of rape earlier this year but only informed me of it after it had been hammered by the flying rats.

Gee. Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hi Neil, just over the hill then mate (Deri boy originally). I shoot a lot of clays all over the place SW2000/Mid Wales etc, Normally shoot skeet but when there is not a competition on then there is a 50 bird sporting shoot up in Merthyr which I try and get to, its every Sunday and they are a good bunch of lads. Normally shoot about 200 clays a week but love getting out into the fields when the chance arises, need NV for the hmr now tho, as by the time I get home from work its bloody dark.
