Big Al Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 After a pheasant shoot a few weeks back, Rab and I headed into the woods to try for some pigeons. Some had crops full of ivy berries but the majority were feeding on the kale planted in the field next to the wood. More crop protection is needed!

Jim Neal Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Ahhhhh you've got my juices flowing now, I can't wait to get stuck in to them. The best roost shooting on our syndicate's land unfortunately all seems to be right near the release pens and therefore the roosting for the pheasants, so I can't really get stuck in until the season's over. I do have a few cheeky little outings with my 12g hushpower but it's a horrible gun to swing through flighting pigeons and the cartridge economy is quite embarrassing! Thanks for the video, loved it. You took some very nice ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago on my very first roost shoot I was given a great piece of advice - DON'T COUNT THE EMPTIES!!😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm around 3.5:1 with my standard 12g and the ratio roughly doubles with the hushpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
