kev1986 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 hi all i am looking to see if anybody advises any companies in the uk that offers really good pigeon shooting preferably over peas later in year cheers kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 There are plenty of people willing to take your money in exchange for pigeon shooting. There is no guarantee that it will be 'good'. Be careful if you do choose to pay for shooting - there are many conmen and liars selling shooting. Out of interest, does it have to be over peas?

Matt_ Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Have a chat with action pigeons on here, chap called john went out for a day with him last year, top bloke and a very good day out, tries his very best to get you a spanker of a day. He's on Facebook if you want to look, search for 'action hawks' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRNDL Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Or you could ask on here for a free days pigeon shooting and in return you make a kind donation to a charity of their choice. Sometimes, its not all about the money. ATB BRNDL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Depending on what area you are looking at: http://www.huntinguk.com/ covers central England , is part of UKShootwarehouse and highly recommended. For Scotland, M Robson a member here is a shooting guide in Fife and around Loch Leven, he is also a BASC registered goose guide, well worth contacting him . Also, check out the "Sporting Opportunities Paid" and "Sporting Opportunities Free" sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 The best crop to shoot is the one with pigeons on it , peas are not a guarentee of pigeons , I had seven fields of them last year and the best bag off them 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best bag over peas was 205. I've shot bigger bags on rape/barley/bean stubbles. Peas aren't necessarily the best crop to shoot over. Pigeons often ignore them, especially if there is any laid cereals to tuck into. It's not impossible for a guide to take you out for a 'big' day, but there are no guarantees that this will happen. As long as your guide is straight with you, and does his best to get you among the birds, that's all you can ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShropshireSam Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I had three pea fields last year and had a couple of "steady" days of about 30. I eagerly waited for harvest and some big days and the **** never bothered with them...plenty of peas visible on the gound but not found by the pigeons before ploughed over after about a fortnight. So never anticipate a big day...just keep a regular watch on activity and get out when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
