TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Having shot some clays yesterday at Sporting Targets, I ventured out to Cottesmore this morning and set up away from human contact and shot a few pigeons. The breasts are now chilling in the fridge to be taken to a family who so far have been unable to buy any fresh meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacko3275 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) Nice shooting I too isolated in a field but the birds kept landing where I wasn’t or I couldn’t be ended up with a crow and a pigeon .. nice day to be out of the house though Edited March 22, 2020 by Jacko3275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 All of the birds crops were full of beans, many that had chitted. Spoke to the Farmer and he hasn't sown his beans yet! He is planning on getting them in later in the week, I may have to go shooting to order again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getthegat Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 So is crop protection an essential job making it legal to go in the fields by ones self? We're closing the workshop and the missus wont want me around the house while she works from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crops and livestock will still need protecting, but as technically it is not your job, you may be prohibited.

It potentially counts as your once a day exercise and in the fields is self isolating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a genuine reply because if so that opens the door to quite a few opportunties and solitary jobs could be completed legally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is good to know , just getting out in my beloved countryside is a tonic even if my mind is not on getting a heavy bag . Well done to Tightchoke, not only for his report but also for his generous way of helping those who need help , nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree, getting my once a day exercise, sit in a ditch for a rest, shoot a few pigeons to protect the food supply of the nation and feed myself, thereby not having to go to the shops - win win win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
