Anthony Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hi there Are many pigeon shooters restricted to only certain fields as the pheasants are in the woods at the moment. Its typical that now there are massive flocks on the land and there is no way I can get to them due to the pheasants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 I respect the gamekeeper so would never dream of shooting near the woods, anyway even if I did not know him I would never shoot near a cover, especially as I enjoy driven shooting and its a large waste of money if pheasants don't show in the drives. but lets face it, its most annoying seeing 2000 birds feeding and you can't get at them.

rb5037 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 You mentioned about not shooting on land near or on where pheasents are. Is this because the gamekeeper won't allow it because of trust or is it because he is worried that come saturday you might scare them all away?

Quercus Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 If the keeper doesn't trust you, and has any say in who shoots, you will very soon be down the road The main reason for this type of shooting restriction is fear of the birds being disturbed. Sometimes this is justified other times not. The keeper has put a great deal into producing birds for a few days shooting, so better safe than sorry.
