Norfolk Pigeons

[Labrador]

In my quest for reasonably priced pigeon shooting without the need for a load of quasi-feudal cap doffing etc. I've found another fantastic opportunity which I thought I'd share. My search started with e-bay, I placed a bid & found myself with a day's roost shooting for £20.00!
I popped down to Norfolk yesterday & found myself in a fantastic piece of Norfolk woodland (I'd forgotten just how magical a Norfolk sporting estate wood can be) waiting for pigeons to come flighting in.

Now, I hear you say, roost shooting is traditionally a winter pursuit carried out at dusk when there's no foliage to obscure your view. Well normally it is, but, if you like difficult & exciting snap shooting give it a try!
Did I see pigeons? Yes.
Did I get some shots? Yes I did.
Did I connect with any birds? Sadly no - I think I need a few sessions at clays again!
Will I go again? Yes, although I may wait until they are offering decoying days again on e-bay.

If this is your bag, have a look at e-bay & search for pigeon shooting in other hunting. The seller is huntingnjumping.

(Usual caveat, no connection just a satisfied customer).

That looks like a good day out none the less, I had a walk around our woods today as I had bought a new shotgun and ended up with the same bag, to slow for the doo's miles off the crow i seen and the squirrel craftily jumped over our boundry fence just as i seen him, of course I put it down to not having my eye in with the new gun :-D

If every I can recomend a guide service its Mark Robson at pigeons all day long, http://www.pigeonalldaylong.com/ I have decoyed pigeons and geese with him, brilliant days out!!! Mark is a great guy and tries very hard to put you on the birds!!
