steveyg Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I have been a Pigeon watch member now for 12 months....were's that gone...well to sum it up: spending hours in the car looking for permissions drowning my sorrows because I can't find a decent permission.. Trawling the Internet for kit Sitting on my backside in a hide with no flightline waiting for that next elusive pigeon to decoy missing to many birds that do decoy... Thinking/reading about how to improve my field craft visiting gunshops - like being a kid in a sweet shop to much time on this forum (so the wife keeps telling me) meeting some great people from the forum Hopefully improve on a few of the above during the next 12 months....I love pigeon shooting...

pigeon controller Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Many happy returns Steve, you started with nothing youve gained one years knowledge and theres no going backnow you are hooked . Remember if you have a bad day you have to go out again to prove it can't be that bad again and if you have a great day you have to go out again to prove you can do it and it wasn't a fluke??????

You now have the full blown disease that is pigeon shooting, it certainly shows when the wife starts to notice that you spend to much time on PW.

Longbower Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yeh, you have been bitten by the bug. I was out today as soon as the boss said , "there's nowt doing this afternoon" I was gone. Result , Baikal 6 ,, Pigeons nil ! My Mrs , said " you'd rather be stood in a muddy field than come shopping with me!" I said "Id rather be stood in a minefield than go shopping with you " . I suppose I'll miss her. Well''' the sex will be the same , but the washing's gonna pile up!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Each time you go will be a learning experience , even if its learning when not to go . As a seasoned pigeon shooter its sometimes better not to go when you know your likely to be wasting your time , such times are good for earning some brownie points at home. Or doing some recon etc. I see your statement that you are going to get a 100 this year , perhaps you will , most likely you might not , it takes several pieces of the jigsaw to fall into place. Do not get too hung up on shooting 100 because I can guarantee that you will shoot smaller yet more memorable bags as the years go by .

So true, unfortunately having learned when not to go means I have hardly been for the last 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
