I have seen them clip the birds (whole) onto barbed wire fences until they dry out. Then they eat them 🤢 If I get some wifi I will post some pictures.

I would imagine there is far more appreciation of wild game and fowl,including pigeons, in Africa than in UK. Unless food is prepackaged in Tesco, people in this country don't even know or care, if it is animal, vegetable or mineral! 57 minutes ago, oowee said: I am out there Monday night for a few days.

rimfire4969 Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 Looks great, we are planning a trip next year. Mostly Pigeon / Dove with a bit of Guinea and Sandgrouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Mixed bag today. Driven guineas. Pigeon then ducks and geese. Up early for geese at sunrise. Every day power is off (load shedding) 1800 till 2200 and 0100 till 0300. Apparently corruption in generation is to blame. Place is falling apart.

That's what puts me off but pleased you are having a great time. Obviously the evenings beverage is having an effect by the angle of your phots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilts#Dave Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 I’m guessing that photo you were sent was at the beginning of the season? I’d quite like to give that sort of thing a go at least once…..is it an expensive trip? Is it a no frills accommodation etc type affair with lots of shooting?

I finished shooting super high birds awesome. VID-20230513-WA0005.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
