malamus Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 A simple one this: is there a pigeon shooting season? and: when is the best time of year for shooting pigeon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triscrx Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 There is no season as such as they are classed as vermin. Best time to shoot them depends on the crops/surroundings you are shooting over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadkill Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 all year round mate , also we shoot them by following the rules of the general license Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonboy1 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 as has been mentioned above pigeons can be shot all year round and the best times to shoot them are after the spring drillings right through to the end of summer on the stubble. Although once the crops get high it can be difficult until they get laid over in the wind or rain, but low crops like peas can be shot over right till their harvested. My most productive times have been over laid cereal crops or stubbles where you can pick up 100+ bags easily, (assuming the birds are in the area!)

Shooting Tom Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 FINALLY, i have been looking for this link for a long time lol. This will help you knowing where the pigeons will be eating. But it isnt that great as they miss out some things like clover, which they are on now. They loveeee clover lol . http://www.thehuntinglife.com/html/section...n-shooting.html Just through it would help lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 There is no season as such as they are classed as vermin. /quote] No, they're not "vermin", do NOT rank the noble Woodie alongside Cockroaches, Rats & Slugs as "Vermin". They are officially a " Pest Species", no experienced shooter would call them "Vermin". Cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
