Ferretboy111 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Well after ferreting the rats in one of my woods, shot 3, 1 with the savage (Never doing that again, not unless i want it minced) and a rabbit, i set up some new trapping sites and snares etc, When a pigeon landed above me in a tree (at that moment didnt have gun in hand) it saw me and raced off but with lightning reactions i grabbed the pump from leaning on the tree and using 32grm 6's let my intincts do the rest to bring it down (Sod knows how) Drove the pickup back to the farm, had a quick mooch about sat under a tree for 5mins and managed to shoot another 2, they were racing overhead to the wood nearby. (wind was very strong). So far am well chuffed, also can cycle it surprisingly accuractly and quickly. Definately up for some pigeon shooting on Sunday me thinks.

Suffolk shooter Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Nice Gun mate, Did you mention pigeon Shooting I'm looking forward to the 21st, borrowing my mates .410, did think about 10 shot PCP, but bolting bunnies are a bit on the quick side for that Seriously though about the pigeon shooting, need to get out, found out the other day that all bar 4 breasts in the freezer had serious freezer burn. My fault should have double bagged them Strangely enough I have a lot of game load fibre wad just sitting there doing nothing at the moment, can't think why. Mick the deer guy from the syndicate is having a clay shoot over at the air/army base on 27th £5 for 50 bird, you up for it. I'm going to help him set up, and MC is coming.

Suffolk shooter Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah pigeon shooting sunday, gotta decide where first, ill keep u posted if ure free. I have been invited on a duck flight in deepest darkest Essex Sunday, so can't make it unfortunately. I've had more invites since people found out about the syndicate fiasco then I did before, makes me wonder if I will ever join one again. Fingers crossed, meeting arranged, Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink Will have to sort out a day that suits you for the pigeon shooting, and see what happens to the west of the county as well.

kip270 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Good shooting mate. I have had two pigeons off the hip with my savage, was walking through the wood and a pigeon took off from an ivy tree and came straight at me, instinct more than anything, my brother in-law was with me and was rolling about laughing saying that was the best shot he has ever seen Managed to do it again a few days later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suffolk shooter Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Tell you what FB111, dependant on how many duck I get (Missus and Keeper want them), I'll do you a swap of some pigeon breasts for a duck, and I'll drop your badge off at the same time. I'll let you know how I get on by text tomorrow night. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
