Big Al Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 This has been my best pigeon trip this year. They just aren't as numerous here! Anyway, I hope someone enjoys it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWildfowler Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing @Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old'un Posted August 22, 2023 Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 some nice shooting there, well done. Never liked shooting in the corner of a field, birds always seem a bit reluctant to come close in, plus you have two hedges to lose birds over.

To be honest, i just set up where they were feeding. The trees i was under were sitty trees but there is still a lot of leaf on them so it was hard to see. Thankfully there was a decent wind which made things a bit more predictable. 3 hours ago, MWildfowler said: Enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing @Big Al Cheers mate. I was out again this afternoon and had 3 greylag fly-pasts! Roll on the fowling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM We have our own GL system here administered by DAERA (Dept Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs) I don't take the dogs when shooting in a net hide as their poor steadiness (my fault!) leads to complete mayhem and frustration.

The duck videos will be delayed this year as we have a horrendous dose of blue green algae on lough neagh at the moment.

I know what you mean by mayhem and frustration , but looking at your two lovely dogs in the stone built hide , which somehow I feel I have been in it myself after watching several of your excellent videos I am surprised you dont take at least one even if you have to build a hide out of four inch blockwork , Good luck for this coming new wildfowling season .
