Big Al Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 We don' have pigeon numbers like some of you lads over the water, so this little roost shoot will be my last shot at the pigeons until August. Got a few - missed a few. But that' what roost shooting is all about! I also brought the apprentice along - Bear the yellow lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much nicer than beef - similar taste but way more tender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Some good shooting, as usual. It will be interesting to see how the Apprentice fares on the wildfowl, if that is your intention.

He is certainly not afraid of water and swims well. Early indications are satisfactory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is simply as we don't have huge pigeon numbers here - they are pairing up and I'll let them breed. Corvids are a different matter though. 3 hours ago, mrpip said: Great video again Al, did the pup manage a retrieve or did Ted take charge. Thanks - the pup isn' too sure about the feathers yet. He finds the bird but is still a bit reluctant to pick them up. I have pigeon and pheasant wing dummies and he is starting to pick them up so it should come ok. He hunts like a pro and has even flushed birds Ted missed! It'l come. I'm in no hurry and will give him the time he needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
