  8. Pheasant Shooting Ireland Nov

    in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting

    Posted

    Haven't been on a lot recently as I moved into a new house and have no internet yet.

    Anyway I made this video a couple of weeks ago and only got round to posting it. Footage from a couple of early days out on our syndicate. I was a little annoyed as some of the footage of my dog working hard was ruined by a drip on the camera. Loads more videos to follow when the internet gets installed.

    Not hard at all when you're actually supposed to be shooting & decoying crows

    I don't go to a field with the intention of shooting crows or pigeons. Both are vermin, so I'll gladly shoot both given the opportunity.

    This farm has a chip factory on it and the feral pigeons congregate around the factory sheds. They fly between this farm & another farm I have permission on and both farmers have asked me to shoot ferals around their sheds.

    Did you actually watch the video ? He states there feral and some them birds were shot at a good range 30+ how do you know them feral weren't the high birds shot.my old man is a well known pigeon fancier and I shoot not far from where he flies his birds so I don't really like shooting feral in case there racers but at 25 yards coming in quick to a decoy then sory but if your saying you can jump up and see if a bird is wearing a ring at 25 yards your eyesight is amazing.ive been watching my dads birds come in after races and most the time I carnt tel the difference between his and the mans behind him until there on the landing board 

    Yes you are quite right I shouldn't have to justify myself on the video, I stated they are ferals so why should anyone doubt me.

    No didn't watch any video. I do know, as you obviously do as well, that a racer is hell bent on getting back to the loft. They fly in a straight line at a rapid rate of knots without any other thought other than getting home.,If a shooter can't tell the difference between a fluttering feral, a woodpigeon or a racer than perhaps he/she shouldn't be shooting. Just my humble opinion mind you and I've been among racers for a lot of years. Jok.

    Thanks another person with common sense that can tell the difference between a feral & racer.

    His title reads "CROW" SHOOTING RED LETTER DAY if you neglected to read it Navek....My father was also one of the best national flyers this country has ever seen as clearly stated recently in the Homing world and he could tell the difference between a feral and a racer with a very keen well trained eye having spent countless hours watching the sky for his birds to hopefully get back home. Jok hit the nail on the head with what he said. Number one rule before taking any shot no matter what the quarry..."IF IN DOUBT DON'T TAKE THE SHOT" ! .....Simple as 

    .

    My title reads that because it was a red letter day at crows. I was hardly going to put the title as "crow shooting red letter day with ferals, magpie & a handful of woodies". If I was in doubt what the birds were I wouldn't take the shots, as I stated in one of my other comments this farm is full of ferals.

    Just wished I could shoot half as good as you mate , great shooting as always , and a sound video 

    do you shoot with both eyes open Ollie ,. I've started to try shooting that ways, but  can't hit a barn door , lol

     

    atb mate 

    I honestly can't tell you if I shoot with both eyes open or not, it's just natural so I don't consciously open both or close one.

    I do hope that none of those pigeons were passing racers, some people devote lots of time and money in that sport. 

    My best mates father has raced pigeons all his life told me before that racing pigeons do not decoy into fields, they fly on a straight course back home normally at a decent height. I can assure you all the birds were ferals.

    Only getting round to making this video now from the end of September. I had a day on barley stubble shooting corvids and had a great day passing 3 figures. Birds decoyed lovely and I shot decent also with lots of doubles as you'll see in the video.

    It was also memorable due to the amount of Grey Crows I managed to shoot in the process.

    Great shooting Ollie

    Love the crows when they flair like that , they kind of know there feced , lol

    What camera have you got stuck to your head mate ?

    Atb

     

    Cheers everyone. It's a SJ4000 on a gopro headmount. I'll hopefully upgrade to a gopro soon.

     

    Nice going mate , its deceptive watching the crows fly over the hide they look so slow

     

    Some of the crow shots were in slow motion so maybe that is why.

    Hi all,

     

    Been very quiet recently on here, building a house at the moment so haven't had much time for shooting. Got out a couple of times over the past month or so and bagged a few birds on camera, here is the latest instalment. A short outing for a couple of hours on a Friday afternoon on fresh cut silage after corvids and another outing on pigeons on standing barley. I'll hopefully get a bit more time in the next few weeks to get some shooting done during harvest.

     

    Thanks for watching
