The Shooting Show - pigeon shooting over spring drillings

We're out with Geoff this time last year, as he grabs the Browning Maxus and Eley cartridges for a day's pigeon control over the last of the spring drillings. Conditions are good but Geoff's concerned he's got there too late - and that the bag will suffer. Can Geoff use all his decoying knowhow to pull off a result?

[@steveunknown8407]

Those are extremely huge pigeons what species are they?

[@nigelmchugh5541]

Steve Kissane Just your standard "wood pigeons". Probably twice the size of "Rock Doves".

I like pigeon hunting and i really like your videos, and i know wood pigeons could be a plague, but, killing the adult pigeons (or any other species) in breeding season and knowing pigeon chicks will take some days to die from starving in the nest it is a very cruel idea (in my opinion,). To control the pigeon population it was a lot better (and more ethical) to hunt a lot more pigeons out of the breeding season. Regards

jcrsa wood pigeon bread all year round there’s no specific breading season, they are easier to shoot in the summer so that’s when the majority are shot

[@jcrsa]

There’s no specific breading season? The wood pigeon main nesting period in UK is between April and September. In all other european countries the main nesting period is the same, and in all other european countries only from September to February is legal to hunt wood pigeons. Strange, because UK is a country with great ethical hunting principles...
