Grakers Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Well I was out for a couple of hours on Saturday and shot 1. There's a good number of pigeons in the area (Co. Down). Problem is, that there are a lot of fields which have laid barley and the pigeons have a lot of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonnyni Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 I was visiting a friend in Ballyhalbert to be exact he is only moved in there about 2 years now, I don't think you would know him but he has 3 dogs to walk so you might see him with them from time to time. 2 Springers and an English Setter (don't worry he is of no threat to your shooting as he dosn't shoot).

Jonnyni Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Im sure the game keeper just loves you. Blast away at them, as we do something similar in another (not to be named) part of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Angus Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Dazza, u should have been out with us on sat. We could'nt have been that far from you, if you were in your local area. Talking of your area, i was down your way this afternoon getting prawns. Came across a few fields that have been cut. Plenty of pigeons about.

Cakie174 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Dazza Your bit harsh on the Gamekeepers, no matter if they are full/part time or just a synicate member they are only doing the job and there best. Its a shame that with so many other threats to the birds (poachers, Birds of prey, Foxes, Dogs, cats, mink, weather) they can't reply on fellow sporting colleagues. Just my thoughts Cakie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I could tell u a few things about the gamekeeper down her that would boil ur blood! He has no interst in shooting or conservation. Do u know of any other gamekeeper who buries the birds in pits after the days shoot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Where were u on Saturday Angus?, i was on the edge of Ballywalter shooting. Im keeping my eye on a couple of fields that should be cut this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Angus Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Dazza,We were just around Bangor. I too noticed a couple of fields ready for cutting just outside Ballywalter. I noticed someone else watching some birds on the wires, over two fields on the way to N'ards. About 1/2 mile outside Ballywalter. The fields were to the left of the road.
