howzat Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Just seen the Guns on pegs video, a " Mr Pigeon " offering a days pigeon decoying all equipment provided for only £250 a day, plus £2.50 for every shot taken, it could cost as little as £1000 for a days pigeon shooting, what a bargain, or are they nuts.

Farmboy91 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Just had to have a look at the website to see if you was being serious or not 😂 I appreciate that not everyone can get a permission to shoot pigeon or whatever but I can't believe anyone would pay that.

Spr1985 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I saw this yesterday, via an email I was sent. It’s no wonder newbies like myself can’t get permission with people like this operating! I get that you can’t blame the farmers.....money talks after all. after reading the blurb that accompanied the video it seemed like it’s normally four shooters per day so at the cap of £1,000 that’s £4K a day = absolutely ridiculous in my eyes. At that money I’d rather sell all of the equipment I’ve acquired and put the money into clay shooting and that’s coming from someone that couldn’t be more eager to get out in the field.

Fellside Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I suspect they will be taking advantage of some naive foreign guns - when some form of normality resumes. Often Italians. I feel really sorry for them.....the Italian visitors that is. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob85 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I reckon for 1000quid you could buy your own shotgun licence, gun, cartridges and with some shopping around and some luck to get your cert before the end of the season.....a days walked up game shooting. Link to post Share on other sites

If you were allowed to keep your shot Pigeons then I would say a complete bargain , just think you could get up to ten pence for each fresh pigeon , although it might cost you more for fuel than what you would get for your Pigeons , with all the talk on here lately about the lack of shooting situations then where on earth do these so called guides take you for some shooting , mind you I wouldn't mind dropping three or four blokes off on some of rape fields for £250 and any shots they take they can have them free of charge, now that is what you call a bargain , Nice little earner if you can find people daft enough to pay that sort of money .

Imagine paying that 3-4 times a year for 3 years. i reckon for £12000 you could buy the shooting rights on a couple of farms. Or just buy your own fields and let a farmer plant crops for a fee, and you still have the shooting, and the asset held.

What is an "ant pigeon"? It's not a species that I'm familiar with. Do enlighten Forum members and maybe add some photos for clarity. Little wonder that shooting days are so expensive with such an unusual quarry. Link to post Share on other sites
Gas seal Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi looking at the advertising l think the person shooting pigeon for a farmer friend has nothing to worry about ,so long as they can show the difference between a woodpigeon and a blue or grey grouse. Link to post Share on other sites
