Elma Fud Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Went out saturday with a friend to a local pig farm. We set up two hides 600 yards apart and shot 150 rooks crows and jackdaws exactly. We were there and set up for 7.30am. The farmer came and fed the piggys, soon after the birds started to arrive. I had 50+ birds within a couple of hours. Great I thought If it keeps up like this I will shoot over 200. about 10.30 everything went quiet. However, my friends hide was in a hedge and his shooting picked up as the day went on. I had 76 he had 74. I'm back out tomorrow on another pig farm. With lots rooks I'll let you know how I get on.

Guest Mr Pieman Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 I shot over a field of clover today. Used rook scarers in two neighbouring fields to stop the birds settling and ended up with 161 pigeons, 2 magpies, 7 crows and a Jay! Not bad as I didn't go out until 10 o'clock this morning PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sniper Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Mr Pieman, I envy you the field of clover. I have never heard of any being grown round here in darkest Yorkshire. But there is a field of beans locally, recently drilled, that is showing a promising day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.R.P. Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Y.P. Went out Monday to York Guns to pick up a new rifle. Nice people, a pleasure to do business with.Did not like that white stuff though. Do you and sniper live near there? A.R.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sniper Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 A.R.P. Lovely to hear from you again. Hows things ? Yes we do live quite near York Guns. As you came back down the A1 , you would have gone by the M62. Neither of us live that far from there. As regards the snow. It was only a slight covering You bloody soft Southerners You should have brought the coat you got at the Game fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
