Yellow Bear Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 A good start, although some may disagree, would be one of the BASC training days when on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Why not try a few farms around you that have pigeon issue crops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi Drayman,Welcome to PW, I assume you can already handle a shotgun, if not a clay club would be the best option ,if you already have the gun,insurance and some experience check out 'shooting available' on here, also look at your local wildfowlers club as they often get pigeon shooting out of season, February is the 'roost shoot' time for pigeon men, normally saturday afternoons for 4 weeks in the woods, local gamekeepers will give you advice on whos allowing it, you need to ask around, if you want help knowing how to decoy birds etc check out utube , my favourites are Andy Crow and Geoff Garrod who give great advice and guidance, and finally there is a PW member in Kent who often asks for help clearing pigeons, check members section for ttab and politely drop him a line, best of luck, pity you are not nearer to me as I would be happy to take you out and pass on some tips, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drayman1965 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi thank for the info I've seen Andy crow on youtube before, I'm thinking of going on the basc course near me about woodpigeon shooting also a friend of mine knows a few farmers and he's going ask them if they need any help with pigeons ,so I see what comes up Thanks again lakeside 1000👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the paid section on here, it might have been about air rifle membership but you could still PM the fella for info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
