Two fantastic bags, and congrats on your P B , this go to show there are still a lot of pigeons about despite the word of shortage keep cropping up from time to time . Have you still got an outlet for fresh and frozen pigeons in your neck of the woods ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you still got an outlet for fresh and frozen pigeons in your neck of the woods ? Judging by the huge bags I see posted regularly, there is certainly no shortage. When I get round to it (later tonight) I will do a write up of my outings since the start of harvest. Again, well done to Stuart on a great bag!

Unless you have a chiller standing close by, this weather is a tad hot for pigeon shooting. Think he had 305 on the clicker but 270 picked up.

pigeon controller Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Well done on your PB but as you say it's very difficult to keep your birds cool with no wind to cool them in the shade. I've had a few rejections even with two good inspection prior to freezing. Again well done on your PB hers to the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your lad look like he can cope with this hot weather better than the Pigeons , good job he don't get fly blown , now the pub / restaurant is open again after a long while shut due to the virus I can sell up to 40 a week , if I shoot any before the weekend I cool them off in my old fridge freezer and then put them in my chest freezer and any I get from Monday I turn the fridge up to very cold and leave them till I take them to pub Wednesday dinnertime , mind you mine are only small numbers , if I had to cope with the numbers your boy get then that would be a different kittle of fish .

Have you still got an outlet for fresh and frozen pigeons in your neck of the woods ? Strange as our area can be devoid of pigeons almost then they’ll turn up en masse, but only in specific areas and then go again....it’s a matter of just keeping an eye on it all constantly and where/what crops are planted makes the most difference here. Other areas though seem to produce 2/3/4/500 bird days on a regular occurrence going by the Facebook pages so certainly no shortage overall it seems. All the game dealers we usually deal with have stopped taking them so an outlet for bigger numbers is harder now. I’ve managed to find someone who breeds ferrets and is taking 100 plus at a time, they took over 250 on their last collection!
