DeepEarth 104 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's been half term this week, and i've been working on a farm seeing lots of pigeons. On Friday night, my mate and I took up my lamp and S200 for a bit of shooting. The pigeons made no attempt at flying away and it was like taking candy from a baby. All 9 were shot, with 1 being stuck on a ledge in the barn. We had a look in the fields surrounding the yard and bagged a rabbit. The next morning we were back, taking 4-5 in the barn before the rest flew off. For the next 30 minutes the pigeons kept coming back in and it wasn't long before we had just over a dozen dotted around the barn floor. I packed up then as I don't want to spoil my sport for summer when the rabbiting has finished. All of these are in my freezer and will be eaten by my two jills. Joe Quote Link to post

RatSniper 19 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 I did some reading up, apparently it is okay for feral's in man made structure's. Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Feral pigeons are the only exception to birds being shot at night with a lamp. Others not so. Quote Link to post
