JDog Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 This particular farm has lots of pigeons on the rape but I cannot work out how to shoot them. They come from different directions at different times of day and in varying numbers. The frustration of it all. Some recompense came in the sighting of these seven fallow sunning themselves out of the wind in sub zero temperatures. There are at least three different age groups amongst this lot including a couple of big boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berettacocker Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Nice pic. Do us a favour, put a high seat where your hide is, and I'll see you weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy220 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Good pic, you look reasonably close too? No use putting up the high seat though.. You wouldn't see another deer again but pigeons would probably start hitting the field hard with you left holding a .308! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Cracking picture. In relation to shooting pigeons I would have thought with all of your experience you would have figured out how to shoot them by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakeside1000 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 I don't normally see them until I nearly step on them, then I need a defibrillator to get my pump going again, I don't know why they cant put a sign out ' Deer sleeping, please keep away', the last one jumped out almost between my feet and fell into a deep muddy ditch, it took about 30 seconds to get back on its feet and jump out the other side, covered in mud, biggish female roe, gave me a right dirty look as it took off across the field,excuse the pun, ( covered in mud - dirty look ) its the way I tell them, Hey Jdog, you should organise a few buddies to sit out around the perm and shoot the pigeons whatever direction they come from. Nice photo, you could photo shop it and enter the calender competition on Country file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 Some nice bucks there . In my opinion the best looking of all the deer . I have seen them almost pure white and almost jet black . I would leave them alone now . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scolopax Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I do a fair bit of stalking and have only seen fallow on a handful of occasions and that was on 'away days' down south. Just got roe locally, although there are fallow about forty miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

activeviii Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Nice to see a mix group, the hunt keeps splitting the groups up around where I shoot, never hang around, take a mouthful of feed and move on. Gets very challenging to harvest the right one. If you want a change of pigeons then your more than welcome tomorrow. Stripey99 can't hit them so plenty to try t.

WelshMike Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I am afraid not. I am very much a novice still. If you are a novice I hate to think what that makes the majority of us like me. I would have to declare myself a sub novice on this basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
