happyhunt Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 whitehaven, marra, I have a mate who lives in dearham, there was also a clay pigeon shoot, dont know if its still running though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjlfishing Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 if your around and go to the druncken duck it might be worth fetching your gun as they used to have clay shoots there on a regular basis i couldnt tell you if they still do but its worth looking into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhunt Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 hi dazz, I took bj fishing up to penrith for some pigeons on sunday afternoon, we dragged around some fields for an hour or so,not much about,we then seen the farmer who told me some lads had been on just before he had cut the barley and had a good day with 300 pigeons & crows. we then went to look at one of the estates I have and found a load of pigeons & crows feeding on a very small patch of laid barley, we set up our decoys & hide and shot for about 3 hours, we ended up collecting 61 pigeons & several crows. I have seen more foxs dead on the road than I have with the lamp lately. plenty of rabbits around I just have not had time to go for them, should make an effort now that the crops coming in , there will be plenty on the stubbles cheers happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
