Antonis Hi Antonis welcome to PW its good to hear from our members from abroad, I am sure we will likewise learn from you. What do you shoot with? Not too sure about the "Thrushes Hunting" we like our songbirds in the garden, not on our plates ha ha. But do you eat them?

aantoni Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 The thrushes hunting is one of the most famous in my country and also we really enjoy eating them! Maybe that's strange for you cause you have them everywhere. I am shooting with: Brno(really old, don't know the model) side by side Baikal mp 43 side by side Diana 460 magnum (air rifle) Diana 32 cal. and i am going to buy soon a new over and under shotgun, i am thinking of Browning Cynergy Sporter.

Cosd Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Welcome Antonis, it's a great forum so enjoy becoming one of the family.! My parents are born in Cyprus (Nicosia and Meniko) I am born over here in England, a cousin was over here in the summer from Cyprus and he loves his hunting. We had many chats about shooting and the methods we both use. Unfortunately he wasn't over here long enough so that I could take him out.

aantoni Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Thanks for your good words. Everyone who had visited Cyprus I am sure that love it. I think its a good place for holidays, but not for hunting... We really have few numbers left of native birds like partridges and all the visitors birds just pass from the island for few days. They don't stay here because they can't find nice climate and food, for that responsible is the drought. Another issue is the really big number of hunters (50.000) in combination with the really few areas to hunt. In the game reserved areas are really big amounts of birds and hares and they never get out from that places. This hunting season was the worst that ever been in the island and I hope that this will change soon because I can't like this. Now about wood pigeons... You can see a lot of them in the game reserved areas, but outside of them you can see really few amounts. You can shoot sometimes but you can't shoot numbers of them like other countries. By reading posts in this side I will try to learn some tricks so I can find the good places for hunting and for increasing my amounts. I also hope that I will come soon to England for hunting!

Whitebridges Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 A warm welcome aantoni. I've been over to Cyprus a couple of times. I remember seeing a Black Francoline between Petra and Ramious. Are you allowed to shoot them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
