auto culto Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 just a quickie as we dont get much snow nowadays but do pigeons eat whist snow is falling or do they treat it like rain ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 If there is prolonged snow they get desperate and then it goes mental on the rape, just about all that will stick out above the snow. They will keep coming back to it even when shot at, almost pathetic they just commit suicide trying to feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auto culto Posted February 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 sound good to me I pick my new shotgun up tomorrow (Remington spr453) so hopefully it will get a baptism by fire at the weekend, hare drive on Saturday and pigeon bashing on Sunday weather permitting or course.

Cranfield Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I have never ever seen pigeons feeding while the snow is falling, they usually stay in the trees. However, they will take every opportunity to feed when it stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It's snowing like ******* here. Just had a call from one of my farmers, theres about 600 birds on the rape right now. I reckon if it freezes tonight there may be some shooting to be had tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlander Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 It's what we've been waiting for BUT it's gonna be a long cold day and Woody might not play the game (as usual) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 If it keeps up with snow on the ground for a good few days straight it will go mental, woody might well wait it out in the trees for a day, but not 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
