A young lad close to me got into all that dove release malarkey,bred,raised,trained them etc but lost some to Sparrowhawks and some just didnt come back......in the end he realised that going and buying a pair of doves for 25 quid and then getting paid 150 quid for releasing them was much easier....he didnt give a bollock if they ever came back or not he just went and bought another pair.....he caught on quick for a young kid Edited February 19 by gnasher16 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
