jackmichaels Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Hello from Alnwick.. Not really into Pigeon shooting these days ( shot enough to last a lifetime !) but found some parts of the site interesting. Retired ex Army and latterly guide and gillie so thought I might be able to contribute something occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackmichaels Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hello mate lovely part of the world your in there was over Alnwick stalking last week fantastic ground I can see why you've shot your fill of pigeons Thanks all for the welcome. Yes Northumbria is a special place but I was brought up in a remote part of the Cotswolds until I joined the Army at 20 and that is the most beautiful part of England by a country mile...hope to get back there one day for a few years before I die.. When I was a lad pigeon flocks used to hit the fields around Oxon/Glos border 10,000 strong! you just don't see numbers like that these days outside of Portugal or Spain at olive ripening time.!
