ellir0305 9 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 ok so some of you may have cottoned on i have got myself a new permission on a local beef farm to get rid of some winged vermin. so after a nice tin of spaghetti hoops for lunch (yes im lazy) i backed up the ratty newly zeroed in at 20 yards ready for some farmyard shooting i set of on the 125 to the farm. so i gets there and meets the farmers wife who shows me where i can shoot, i dropped 2 there and then to show off anyway there is something special about this pemission, my prey look nice through the scope lol white pigeon/doves not one to complain i just thought of that dove recipe on here and kept shooting 8 birds later i picked up what i could reach (5 birds ) and headed back . cuppa coffee and a biscuit later i headed home and saidi'd pick up me catch later. i think im onto a gooden here but i might have to rezero to 10 yards because i was shooting at under that and hitting chests when i should have been hitting heads atb rob Quote Link to post

stealthy1 3,964 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well done Rob, what kind of doves are they? be carfull which ones you eat Quote Link to post
ellir0305 9 Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Well done Rob, what kind of doves are they? be carfull which ones you eat they are specially bred white doves i think because they have eyelids like doves, are they are pure white but they are not originally from the farm they just turned up and started breeding (like doggers ) so i was called in to get rid of some. the jackdaws there are smarter when i went back to get the pigeons later without the gun they hopped round me. i am going to smoke those crowns tomorrow and see what they are like atb rob Quote Link to post
