djgeoff Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) hi all just thought i would let pigeon watch shooters in Hampshire area, Longparish to be exact that my brother who does lot of walking in the areas around Andover has told me there are thousands of pigeon on crops around that area. he says the fields are covered in them. i have asked him for for grid/ map/gps info so i can pass on to you that may be interested. i don't know the area myself as i am from midlands but if my brother says he is sees them i believe him. he did mention he walks the foot paths on the Longparish estate. he sent me some pictures in one image there were several deer, crow plus Hares running all over the field. as soon as i get map info i will pass on the you regards geoff Edited February 17, 2015 by djgeoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicks_fun Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I live very close- permissions are very difficult here. If your part of one of the big Hampshire estates your laughing, if not it's very difficult to get on...unless you know someone who needs a shooting buddy?

djgeoff Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 ok i now have the info from my brother for those interested: these are where I seen loads of pigeon and crow hope it’s some help. This was either side of the Middleway approaching Longparish N51° 11.783' W1° 24.333' And in and around the village itself which backs onto a tree line and with river and fields behind this is where I seen them coming from N51° 11.534' W1° 23.488' This is where I seen loads of crow coming and going and all on the ground, Waters Down farm area( N51° 08.448' W1° 31.284') From Longstock to Stockbridge Rd I’m not sure I don’t know if it wd be any good , only because of the private parks around and pheasant shoots at times that’s all and the parkland N51° 08.390' W1° 31.232' regards geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Quite possibly on the Leckford Estate now owned by Waitrose (formerly John Lewis). I know the game shoot had been stopped on there when they took over as Waitrose didn't think it would be good for their public image, but don't know if anyone shoots pigeons there.
