borntoshoot Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 the pigoens i dont know but if you want to shoot the geese you need to take a few steel cratridges with you because you are not allowed to shoot waterfowl with lead anymore so as long as you use steel you will be ok. ps make sure your gun is proofed for steel shot first.

MerseaDavid Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 You do get days like that when the birds just wont come in. The main reason could be that they had their minds set on going to one field that they new had a good food supply and they generally wont go anywhere else. On them sort of days you wont to get under the flightline with a pigeon magnet or something just to get the birds to a sensible height and just shoot them as the fly over, you will get some great sporting shots but the bag might not be that big.
