not really game shootin

[Nigel]

I was out for a shot today with my dad,we went to a field were he shot 30 pigeons yesterday, there were 60/70 on the field at 9 o'clock when we walked they off they never came back – not one of them /wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-yell.gif but I did shoot one magpie,5 crows – 3 of them with 3 shots coming over the tree tops, a Left & Right of grey backs crows was the most satisfying shooting of the day especially as it's rare to get a shot at a pair of them and as the second one was paced out at 65 yards stone dead. I used the Maxus with the Helix 1/2 choke and a mix of old 32grm shells I use for pigeons.A big change from what I was doin at the same time last week. Nige

You've both inspired me to go down to the Barley field below our house, there's been loads of crows and pigeons about lately around our house. I think it's a bumper year for pigeons this year, we've never seen so many here in wales with it not really being a country renowned for crop growing but i think now farmers are diversifying into crops more now, then that's why theres more here. I also have a score to settle with Charlie who's been laying down in the feg below the barley. I had 19 chickens at the start of the year, I now have 5/wp-content/forum-smileys/sf-frown.gif.
