JDog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Amongst the hundreds of PW members wanting a day out today and not minding being called BNM was JamesM12. The humour in his response to my advert got him picked out as a decent companion for the day. What a very nice man he is too. We met this morning in a rain storm which lasted for the whole three hours that we were out shooting. The third proposed member of the team called off at the last minute (I believe you Gary) so my plans to occupy three spinneys was thwarted. I have taken some novices in my time but I have never taken anyone out who has never shot a living creature as was the case with JamesM12 who only has experience in shooting clays. The problem, apart from the rain, was obvious. Whichever of the three spinneys was unoccupied by either of us had birds all over it, possibly 200 or so. The third man would have enabled us to keep the birds on the move better than we actually achieved. The pigeons were not actually feeding on the rape but sitting around waiting for the rain to stop which it never did. Anyway to cut a long story short we shot a few pigeons and a crow and JamesM12 shot his very first pigeon which we were both delighted about. He may not be smiling much in the photo but I know that he was a happy boy. I will take him out again in better conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickerup Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 tightchokes..I get enough grief from Pickerup and the Dog man ... Dando is getting in on the act as well..... steveyg your name and reputation are known all over this country thanks to jdog and myself. (perhaps you should slip us a few quid), i don't think your entirely to blame, when pw members all over the country are not shooting many pigeons. atb p/u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Well done James12 , you've started on the slippery slope and now you can start collecting all the bits a pieces to go out once you manage to get some permission. I'm a bit confused about " Billy No Mates" surly he who has to addvertise for people to go out with him is the BNM???? But putting it into perspective he did take out SteveG which must be a risk !! As you may encounter the jinx factor however Pickerup has also been down to reverse the jinx. When did the invite go out as I could get a 44 seater of Brummies to come down and make you feel realy popular. Well done JDog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
