Harnser Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 In the eastern evening news tonight . Natural England has proposed that before shooting pests including pigeons ,appropriate warning must be given . They want pigeon shooters to shoo them away before they shoot them . You couldn't make this up ,where do these people come from ? they know nothing about the country side and the damage that pests can do to crops . Perhaps somebody on here can post a link to this article so you can all see what a load of old tosh these people speak . Mrs Harnser nearly fell out of the chair reading this article . she has promised to come out with me with a flag to wave just as I am about to make a shot . I promise this is not a wind up. Harnser.

dougall Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I often use the right barrel to scare them then the left to kill them....occasionally though they die of shock from the scare from the 1st barrel?Is this still legal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted March 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I often use the right barrel to scare them then the left to kill them....occasionally though they die of shock from the scare from the 1st barrel?Is this still legal? Yes ,perfectly legal . I use a urika 2 for pigeon shooting and often use the first two shots to shoo them away and the third shot to kill the pesky pigeon . On occasion I inadvertently kill more than one . Harnser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 My feeble efforts at shooting amount to very much the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 I can see it now: "Just off out shooing darling..." "Must renew my shooing licence." "Hobbies include shooing." "The British Association for Shooing and Conservation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspark Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Lol, I have seen what Natural England had stated. What a load of ****. Realy, these people need to get out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 Yes I did read that in the E D P this morning , what the chap also said was the pea drilling should start next week , so hopefully we can start schooooing the pigeons on the peas soon, although our peas are normally in April.so were got to wait a little bit longer.

kitchrat Posted March 4, 2014 Report Share Posted March 4, 2014 (edited) I shoo then off when putting my hide up and my decoys out. If they come back, they are fair game!! Would shouting PULL be ok I've done that, when a bird has surprised me and got in to land directly behind the magnet - works a treat!!
