P03 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 is the pigeon population falling?. According to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) The Woodpigeon population in the UK (during the summer months....why this makes a difference I don't know!!) is 2.6 - 3.2 million pairs and rising fast.

Highlander Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hello i'm new to the forum,i've been an active pigeon shooter for the past 5yrs,however in that time i have never had a red letter day yet!!!!,hopefully this season my dreams will come true, Welcome. I wouldn't worry about any 'Red Letter' days as most on here have probably never had one. Just enjoy the days out and if you get lucky well dreams do come true! is the pigeon population falling?. According to the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) The Woodpigeon population in the UK (during the summer months....why this makes a difference I don't know!!) is 2.6 - 3.2 million pairs and rising fast. color=#6666CC] Don't know where it says that but if the population is as small as that we'd better stop shooting them now 'cause the estmated yearly 'cull' is said to be in the millions :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
