Pigeon shooting
« on: February 07, 2008, 08:34:47 PM »
Im off pigeon shooting this Sat  :D Pigeon is the most beautiful meat and on the top of my list of fav meats  :shades:

Im also all going well, taking Sweepie as its good training for them to sit on their bottoms whilst shooting is going on (well thats the idea). Hope to get a few and get a result in trainng Sweepie dog to sit and stay stay stay  :-\ :005: Will most deff get some piccies (well ive said that before)  :lol: :lol:

I hate pigeon shooting with Dobbie cos he hates sitting still, spent 3 hours with him once and nearly turned the gun on myself  :005: he sits still for his dad though cos he's boring  :shades: :005:

Freya and Cockers Bilbo and Dobbie, not forgetting the Springers Willow and Paddy

lucky begger I hope you get a few coming in, are you using decoys??  We had a go last year with this swing thing that one of the guns had and I think it did more to scare the birds off than bring them in :005:

Ayla love pigeons but bonnie is not so keen spends more time spitting out feathers than she does retrieving the birds. ::)

C'mon Lucy  :blink: Please please try it  :shades: Get them to just breast the pigeon for you, then slice it very finely, fry it in whatever oil you fancy, serve it with, cripsy bacon, black pudding on a bed of salad leaves with a dressing. It is superb, trust me, once you have tasted it you will be hooked  ;)

Here are a couple of pictures from the day  :D I shot 2 pigeons but fired 13 cartridges  ph34r It was a super couple of hours and I made the most fantastic pigeon dish, the recipe from the 2 fat ladies  :shades:

Me waiting, but feeling a bit dizzy looking up all the time  :005:





The dogs being ever so good  :angel: (as you see no sign of sweepie)  :005: :005:
