NatureBoy Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 Looks like BASC, BTO, RSPB all looking for new heads of various departments at mo? . . . Not seen much in shooting press about the sudden decision to bring in a close season for wood pigeons in Northen ireland from May 31st to September 1st. Not good! I think any close season will just lead to even more pigeons being shot when they can be. NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clangerman Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 shot a lot of pigeons on my grand parents place outside of wexford despite shooting over a ton many times on the grain I never shot one feeding on fresh air at any time of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pushandpull Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 OP, what is the HoD vacancy at BASC please ? I see nothing on the website. I am aware that they are short of a Regional Officer but I guess that one will wait until post-Covid times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
