The Ghost Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) We had a roost after work tonight as we finished at 5pm we were making use of the extra hours light. I took a short video that I hope shows the amount over the woods from us, I would think over 1,000 pigeon (will add later). I had watched these birds for the past few nights, and every night they had headed for groups of firs. Tonight of course they decided to change their minds and go into Ivy! we went in the Firs? While setting up a hide with Fenny I heard two shots ring out....What was that I said to him...."Spy's" he said and two Magpies lay dead? To be honest I think he was serious as he then shot a Crow that "came to see what we were doing". We went on to get 35 Pigeon in less than two hours between us, I think only two got away from us with Fenny on top form with the new gun all shot with Hull Super fast cartridges. Despite getting 35 we were both a bit disappointed more did not come in as we had long periods of inaction. Driving back we drove around the Ivy patch...it was now dark and we could see & hear where all the birds had gone...but we will be back at them very soon.

fenboy Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Fenny really is a good hand at every thing he does . A good shot , excellent on the lamp for me and makes the best xmas cake I have ever tasted . He now reckons he is going to turn his hand to bingo calling and I bet he will be good at that too !. Cannot say I was that impressed with his new gun , I was half an hour later home the other night as I had to wait for him to unload it , having said that a 8 shot would be handy for me at the moment because I could shoot all week without having to reload.

The Ghost Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 He was sick tonight Fenboy, they only came in to the woods in twos and threes. So the most he fired with his 8 shot was three, the boy was on top form and missed nothing. If we had gone into the piggery, it would have been used to full effect...loads!

The Ghost Posted March 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) This shoot was organised to raise funds for The Royal Institute for The Blind. GREENGRASS (pw member) has allowed us to use his pictures for our web site and we asked him if we could help him as a way of thanks? Paul only asked one thing.....could we do a little bit to help the Blind, I had recently had a corneal transplant so this charity was very close to my heart as well. We had five shooters out and myself and Fenny makes seven, we have donated £35.00 to your charity and thank you for a great night on the roost Paul. Keep up your great work & I am sure I speak for a great many PW Members.

Northern Monkey Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Gutted I couldn't make it, well done boys... Not being funny Ghost but £35 sounds like a funny amount, I'd like to see £50, so I'll make it up to £40....
