ThePestControllers Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Hi Guys Hers our first pigeon shooting video of 2014 we had to wait for pheasant shooting to finish. we have not been out pigeon shooting since the start of the pheasant season so we are a bit rusty but we had a great day. And as you will here i am still suffering from the after effects of septic tonsillitis.(ime not a pervert honest) Enjoy and don't forget to like or subscribe to my videos.

JDog Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Didn't they decoy well? You could easily have taken on some of the more challenging birds. Edited March 6, 2014 by JDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motty Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Looks like you had a decent day. I must say, your hide seems a bit too high - you struggled on a few birds that were going down the sides of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePestControllers Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thank you for your comments lads. the hide was a bit high but the birds were mainly coming in from behind us and the sides need (in my opinion) to be high because when they flew over they were seeing us easily so it was the only way to try and stay hidden. I agree we could of taken some longer shots or faster shots but its the first time i have been out with the shotgun since the 1st of october so i/we were very rusty its been 4 months since i shot a bird. I must admit i found it very challenging with sun very bright behind us and the birds coming fast from behind. every time you looked behind to see if there was any pigeons you got blinded by the sun. so we resorted to just waiting until they appeared in front. But we had a great day and really enjoyed ourselves. Mick is taking a bit of training but he is improving with every trip,i find the more sandwiches i give him the better he retrieves Funny thing was that that day a young black lab turned up from nowhere so we thought we would let it retrieve a few pigeons so we brought it into the hide then Mick shot a pigeon but instead of the dog running around the side of the hide to get the pigeon it just leapt straight forward through the hide and got tangled in the camo net. you should of seen the mess it caused.so after untangling the dog i sent it on its way and rebuilt the hide. Shame i never got it on film. Cheers Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Good and amusing post no. 11. A friend once took out his brother's untrained spaniel and at the first shot it jumped up from inside the hide and headed straight for the decoy pattern trailing the net behind it.

ThePestControllers Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thats more or less what happened here. i think the dog was used to picking up pheasants but had not worked from a hide before. funny thing is i don't even know who,s dog it was.
