edenman Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I was desperately hoping due to the snow we had here in Fife that I would be sent home from work and that will allow me out to shoot but I had no luck on that score! I had to wait for the weekend, arriving at the farm this morning there was absolutely no rape sticking up through the snow. The woodies were all heading to a field that wasn’t my permission it all was not lost as they had to cross the wood I have permission to shoot. The shooting was superb pure flighting. A fantastic morning! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

old'un Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 well done, bet it was cold but it looks like you have about 30 birds there, that's some flighting, one of my favourite ways to shoot pigeons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pbutd Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Jealous or what? Not only because you had such good sport without carting your gear miles over rape fields , but also because that sort of shooting can be the most testing & keeps you on your toes. The footprints in the snow tell some of the story with two very busy dogs trying to keep up with the tally , with your bootprint next to the black lab suggesting he needed 'positioning' for the photo shoot? A very good bag for flighting. A very good bag full stop this year. I used to shoot pigeons in Fife ,around St. Andrews, for a few days each March with a local guide who would find me the locations on rape & spring drillings. The journey for a long w/end is too much these days though. I was up there the year they found that dead swan in the bay at Cellardyke which tested positive for H5N1 bird flu... that caused a bit of chaos locally & put paid to the pigeon shooting that year. The ministry announced the restrictions the day I arrived Thanks for the post & pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Downforce Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Very nice picture of a couple of well behaved dogs - unlike mine - "total recall" is just another Arnie movie as far as my dogs are concerned. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
