I was sat around feeling bored tonight so decided to head off to the golf course, well as the club manager had rang me the previous day to allow me more access to other parts of the course - I thought Id better keep them happy. Well the neighbours that live to the side of the course had been unhappy about the numbers of pigeons that seem to roost in the trees outside their gardens. The manager wanted to know if id take care of the situation and I happily accepted the task! :D
The problem seems to be individual pigeons, not large groups like you would find on farmland so picking the odd one's off wasnt going to a problem. I took the 12G and a pocket full of clear pigeon cartridges, My mate Neil took the 97K.We managed to shoot about 8 with the airgun then later as the daylight was about to leave us the pigeons started making there way back to roost up for the night. The wind was howling across the course, very strong winds so as you can imagine - the pigeons were flying about at speed as they came towards there roost. Shooting at these was fun, I had to be fully alert as you didnt get much time to shoot them due to the speed. I managed to get 6 pigeons in flight just by been hidden amongst the tall connifer trees and whilst walking back to the car - We managed to get 3 fully grown rabbits. The game bag that Id just purchased from Lord Geordie really came in handy tonight and handled the load well! :D
So 14 woodies and 3 rabbits Not a bad evenings shooting at all.
Already looking forward to the next visit - proberly tommorow. :D
