Hunting: Wood Pigeons Early December

Description

For almost three years now I have lived without buying shop bought meat. Hunting Pheasant and Wood Pigeon is a normal practice and a choice I made some time ago.

Video Transcription

hi there guys it's Mike from mcq bushcraft here and welcome to another video on the channel I'm out doing some pigeon shooting today with my feisty side-by-side twelve ball using a 28 gram sixes quite light cartridge really in a respect but um I've got some thirty gram sixes as well really just a mixture of game load just to give me some decent patterning on the pigeons I'm in this area here which is a turned out really well actually I've seen lots of activity today even while I've just been sitting here setting up the camera so gonna be sticking to this position this is just a fence line with a style and a post and a lot of pigeons are soaring over coming to land in these trees nice low bright sunlight behind me so it's kind of creating a lot of contrast they can't really quite see me as they're coming in so let's see how we do that's one

that's two three then too bad try and recover the other somewhere Connor gone off so that's two birds in the bag I think the third one that I hit is either sawn off into the woodlands or it just flew away I won't know until I watch the footage things happen so quick sometimes when you're out here doing this kind of thing and once you've hit something and you see it sort of almost go into that movement where you know it's going down you just turn away because there's so much else going on you need to take another shot and it was an open field so I suspected I just walk out there and find it but no so I'm going to stay in this position it's a pretty good one I think we'll see what else I can get hopefully just a few more pigeons really and then I'll call it a day

have some bad shooting off on the way so I actually hit a pigeon just then others came a but just clipped it really those were really pushing the range to be honest for me anyway for what I'm comfortable with nice clear shots you got very few obstructions in an area like this you can really move properly and get some good shots off well that's another bird another pigeon it's just in this tree here and it's just dropped down and gone into that little lake there that little pond sorry so I'm just going to recover that now I got that one from the pond and it's getting to the time of day now where everything's coming in to roost so I'm just going to wait here for a while is the pigeons often roost in this part of the woodland they land in all the trees up here and just the brow line going over to that field where we were earlier so I'll wait here a while see whether anything comes in and see if we can add to the bag I've had a couple of pigeons land above me one flew away as I tried to get into position because I had to take we'll try and take a left-handed shot and the other one that remained was wondering what was going on looking around everywhere and the trunk of the tree was in the way so I couldn't really get clear shot and there's no point just firing for the sake of it that was one couldn't get a shot off on the other one just too much in the way as it left the woods but I go get that recovered

very nice bird but really healthy well that's for for the day and I'm pretty happy with that that's a couple of meals really so I can put those in the in the fridge when I get home let them cool down prepare them the next day like I normally do I expect more will come in if I wait here quite obviously it's that time of the evening where everything is coming in to roost and even after a shot things get disturbed but it settles back down again very quickly and I think that's what people don't realize about using a shotgun it gives you the advantage of taking things on the move you can also take them stationary some people who are into sporting shooting won't shoot things unless they're flying is it's you know they see it as it being fair on the animal but in my perspective if you're putting food on the table it doesn't really matter and the animals dead which either way you do it so it doesn't really matter to the animal it doesn't want to die either way but this is about all I've got time for today I've just been out today doing a bit of shooting and I've got to get home so gonna have to wrap it up but I hope you enjoyed the video guys thanks for watching and I'll see you very soon in another one take care
