Lots of us tend not to shoot them as they act as a great marker for the others.

docholiday · 15th of April 2012 (Sun)

yup much easier to find in our woodlands, however the poachers tend to go for them

docholiday · 16th of April 2012 (Mon)

A couple of sikka stags

I've got some more on my home computer. I'll look and see if any of them are good enough to post.

This looks a lot like the Powder River country in NE Wyoming. Neat shots and a nice muley.

In case docholiday does not come back, I will answer.

These are wood pigeons which are wild and numerous, causing havoc at this time of year with their constant feeding on crops. They are shot with the primary purpose of crop protection but the bonus is that they are also really good to eat.

You can get some more information on wood pigeon shooting in the UK by clicking HERE

They are indeed wild woodpigeons, they are excellent to eat and are the pain of any farmers life. the great thing is that they will come to decoys and offer very fast and jinking targets, especially if there is a bit of wind. They have fantastic eyesight and if they see the slightest movement they will jink and bug out, making for a great days sport.
