kitchrat Posted December 31, 2024 Report Share Posted December 31, 2024 Not much fun on Dec 25th, my "Better Half" has a nasty attack of shingles and I had a nasty cold. Lots of misery! However, by yesterday, I had turned the corner, and went out with Rick, albeit with a head full of that well known, green, contact adhesive. I was shocked (embarrassed) by the number I saw on OSR on a farm I am supposed to protect so arrived there at 7.45 am this morning (still with the glued up head!) Lots of pigeons about, they semi decoyed but were also happy to swirl away on the wind. As ever, they often wanted other parts of the farm (150 acres of OSR) but shots put up would keep them moving. It wasn't a massively busy day or a slaughter but I picked up 55, with several lost way out in the crop, a number I am more than happy with! Storm tomorrow so next outing will be roost shooting with my Pigeon Watch pal on Thursday, in my most testing wood. Could be interesting, but he's younger than I am and quicker and more flexible , so might find it a breeze! All the breast for now and 2025!

marsh man Posted December 31, 2024 Report Share Posted December 31, 2024 I have been wondering where on earth you have been these last few days , as we are armchair Pigeon shooters we are allowed to have a rest over the festive period but your farmer friend will be pulling his hair out if he don't hear any shooting, still you showed the flag today so now he can enjoy a drop out of the bottle you bought him , 50 odd was a very good day and I would imagine you are amongst the front runners on the leader board , wind and rain tomorrow so you can have a day off and do some de breasting . All the best for the New Year and hope you and your good lady are on the mend . MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted Thursday at 17:42 Report Share Posted Thursday at 17:42 A fantastic couple of hours spent in the woods with @kitchrat this afternoon, plenty of birds about, some difficult shooting but managed 8 (for way to many shots 🤦♂️) they where like little missiles and not wanting to commit but it was so much fun being tested. Thanks again John for the invite 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No , He haven't been on the forum for a number of months now , he have in the past had a spell away and then came back so how he is health wise I haven't a clue , so maybe someone who go shooting with him now and again can let us know . Happy New Year to you and your family , MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
