Old Piccys......

Belting thread this JD.. cheers for taking the time out to put those piccys up.. much appreaciated by myself and one or two others i assume

I could look at these pics all day long..

Judging by you're photos... looks as though you you've got the nack of roost shooting.

Can you give me any pointers on the roosting front if you don't mind??

Do you just rock up whenever?

or lay up in the day time and wait for the birds to fly in to roost and pick them off??

Do you, or, can you, use a light on them??

Cloudy night or full moon??

I've got some magpies to moderate...before spring kicks in....

 

basically: wait for cloud.

Go out and whack em.

 

 

despite what the 'old poaching songs say, ignore the moon.

Cant ask for more than that!!

thanks for getting back mate... aplreaciate that ??

If you hit them with a lamp..have you got the time to get a shot off???

Can you shoot them off their roost??

Sorry for all the questions..I'm still learning fellas

No torch. It's illegal for a start. And it serves no purpose other than to scare everything.

 

You can pick out the roosting birds against the pink cloud.

Thats not how we did it on the estates,we shot open sited and practised pulling up the gun to the shoulder whilst standing directly underneath,when you can pull it up every time without adjustment to align the sites then you are ready for live quarry, you must be stealthy and quiet,took a dog to pin flappers that hit the ground and a lad behind to pick up, took some large numbers this way and yes we were aware of the moon but found the wind as cover was more important,great exciting days, Plucky

Without cloud you won't see the birds in the trees. If you can't see them then you can't shoot them. Surely?
