Winter pigeon and rook shoot - big day

Rooks and pigeons are hitting a maize crop. With the cost of feed, Paul Childerley is especially keen to shoot a few of them, so he has built a socially-distanced pigeon hide on his ground in Bedfordshire. Plus he shows how to call in the corvids.

Why shoot pigeons?
The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield. Equivalent loss of £125/ha for Oil Seed Rape, £250/ha for peas, £350-£1250/ha for brassicas) to agricultural crops every year including cereals, brassicas, oilseed rape, peas and salad crops. Pigeon damage reduces yield, quality, appearance and saleability of the crop. Pigeons also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at leaves and ripping off portions, leaving stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes.
The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production. Wild pigeon is natural, free range, and one of the healthiest meats available. It’s low in cholestero, high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious.
We’re proud to promote enjoyment of fieldsports and the countryside. There are three guiding principles to everything we do on Fieldsports Channel:

[@jasongarratt3959]

Could you tell me whats the best pigeon decoy pattern and type, still new and learning and any recommendations would be appreciated great video 👍

[@markpalmer7215]

Decoy patterns change depending on wind and also personal choice between U & V shapes and comma shapes. Plus two blocks with a “killing ground” in the middle. Remember pigeons land into wind, want to get to front of queue and don’t want to overfly those on ground so use a suitable pattern to draw them towards you. Jim Albone videos touch on this a bit & John Humphreys book I can highly recommend.

Are we still allowed use air rifles out in the field during this lockdown? My shooting permission is across our farm lane and I’m in.

Yes - worth carrying a message on your phone from the landowner asking you to carry out pest control. / Charlie

Thanks for this. We usually put this blurb in the description: The woodpigeon is recognised as the UK’s number one agricultural pest and causes millions of pounds of damage (AHDB consultation 10-40% loss in yield.

Pigeons can also cause damage in gardens and allotments - pecking at the leaves and ripping off portions, often leaving just the stalks and larger leaf veins. They may also attack and strip buds, leaves and fruits off trees and bushes. The UK woodpigeon population was last estimated at 5.4 million pairs in 2009. Densities of wood pigeon are the highest in Eastern England, coinciding with the highest concentration of horticultural production. Wild pigeon (game) is natural and free range, and it is one of the healthiest meats available today. It’s low in cholesterol and high in protein… and, quite simply, delicious. / Charlie
