chrisjpainter Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Well, my mum is partial to a bit of game pie, so asked me to see if could get some filling. 'Anything particular?' 'Oh no, just whatever comes along, but some pigeon would be nice!' I went out for the late afternoon to see what was about, armed with my R10 and some pigeon decoys that had seen better days. The position I'd found was ideal, the ground on which I sat, however was decidedly less so! I have stinging nettle stings on the stinging nettles stings! But no matter, a couple of hours produced 4 pigeons before the light faded , all shot between 35 and 45yds. As a bonus a rabbit popped out at about 30yds and just as I was retrieving him a squirrel unwisely chose this moment to forage for acorns, so he went in the bag. I took them to my mother, who spurned my offer of acorn fed squirrel, but the rest seemed to satisfy. A happy way to spend a glorious summer's evening.
