Our pigeon shooting days are
generally based on decoying birds, sometimes roost shooting at certain times of
the year and flighting. All our pigeon shooting is conducted as a pest control
service to our farming community under the UK General Licences and follows
strict guidelines. Our clients are a useful help in making that a success. Although
we can shoot pigeons every month of the year our busiest months are February,
March & April then again in July, August & September. Depending upon
the time of year we may start early in the morning and finish early or start
late and finish late due to the length of daylight hours. We may have up to 8
Guns on any given day (4 to 6 being more usual) so it can take a while to set
you out in a hide with a suitable decoy pattern. Once set up we will leave you
to shoot whilst we scout the area and move pigeons about. We will be in regular
contact with you and if necessary we will move you during the course of the day
to give you the best opportunities. Please note; pigeon shooting is all
about opportunities, these are wild birds and as such they do not perform to
order. Patience is required and remember that generally the weather plays a
major part in what the birds might be about on any given day. Don’t ask how
many birds or cartridges you’ll shoot as it’s totally unknowable and depends on
many things not least the bird’s habits and of course your own abilities.
