Topgunners Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have just read an interesting article in the latest shooting magazine out today. One crop in Berwick-on-Tweed of the uniform height of 9ins high with no previous damage was completely destroyed by pigeons. The farmer said" he estimated 10,000 birds hit it" Now, how far is Berwick from me.? Must get my maps out. Dave K. p.s John Shooter reportedly knew all about it, so I hope ALL of his "subscribers" were reliably informed. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbart Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 not as far up as berwick but there is a lot of pigeons about here,stuffing themselves on the 3 trillion acres of rape.Would need 30-40 guns spread out to have any impact on them though.
