Guest stevo Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) Evening all well it’s been a while since I have posted any pictures of my shooting bags , to be honest I had sort of packed it in much to the disgust of my land owner buddy’s . But that changed yesterday morning . As some know I bought a beretta 391 Teknys with the intended use of skeet and sportrap, and so just for a little bit of a hobby I have been busy modifying bits an bobs on it ready for some comps and also as a bit of a pigeon gun , any way....... on sat evening I popped over to one of my farms with no other intention of watching a pair of nesting Little owls that have taken residence in one of our old grain stores . Just wanted to see that there both all fine a dandy . As I approached to my horror I could see something kicking off around where the owls ? are nesting . As I got closer my fears where realised as the cock bird was flying ( I’m assuming to get tea ) the Rooks were chasing it off and then doing there best to get it on the way back , anyone that doesn’t know , crows and rooks WILL kill little owls all day long given the chance . After 20 mins I had enough, it was time for a rescue mission in the morning , and a great excuse to see how the Modded beretta delt with something a bit tougher than a orange clay hahah . next morning I rocked up , set up on other side of field against an old brick shed , yes my intentions were to take the pressure off these little owls , but at the same time I didn’t want to disturb them too much in case they have young , so I had to be as far from the crows/ rooks as reasonably possible to get the job done . So I had to call them over two smallish fields . I was there for a bout 3 hrs with just my semi , 3 boxes of shells , a sam neat call , a very basic hide set up finished on a total of 50 mixed carrion , 2 ferals , 1 woodpigeon . Job done ! https://www.dropbox.com/s/ra3jdyen5a2chhf/Photo 17-06-2018%2C 13 21 56.jpg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/blq95j0eqt6dzhn/Photo 17-06-2018%2C 13 20 40.jpg?dl=0 oh and it looks like I’m back out from retirement ??

I had the primos one ( think that’s how you pronounce it) and personally found it ok , the sam neat one I find is deeper sounding and better for pulling in older birds , especially big hen rooks and hen carion , it’s like porn to them when used correctly, I will say when your calling DONT OVER DO IT. Especially when your first starting out .. The primos I find are pretty hard to beat on younger birds , and jackdaws love it . But it’s like anything you need to practice and keep practicing. And listen to the birds and the calls there making . Just keep it simple and and don’t over do it , also try not to change your pitch too much , if you listen to older rooks they have very monotone call . ?
