You are killing me with those blasted pigeons, Brits! That looks like great fun, I'm envious. Excellent photos. BTW.

I never tire of seeing your photos. Am I dreaming or is Sprocket growing? She may have been younger than I thought when you started adding her in your pictures....then again, maybe I'm just losing it! :wink:

Another great day for hunter and canine pal! :thumbsup:

Is there any big game in those woods you're able to hunt? Lots of birds and small game, obviously from all the successful hunts you have, just wondering what else roams those fields and forests. :idunno:

There are next to no deer on my patch...you would of had the photo's already by now if there was!
They are all around me however but will be an old man before they move in!
I quit traveling to hunt deer years ago!

Reminds me of band-tailed pigeon hunting in the coastal mountains along the West Coast. Way back in the early 1970's, and sadly before I started muzzleloading. What great fun!

See, I'm just losing it! :wink: I know you had mentioned her name on one of your posts some time back but when you said she was a Sprocker, the name Sproket just jumped to mind...

"...he landed in the grass
with a sprocket in his pocket....!" :shocked2:

You Brits have some good pheasant hunting if you are in with a land owner who will let you hunt his property. Only thing I don't like hunting pheasants in England is you guy's like to hang the game prior to cleaning your birds. That would be a nice piece (firearm)to shoot a bird or two. :hatsoff:

Not are hung for a long time, it is an old lore that one. Two or three days most for me.

I did manage a few pheasants on the wing last winter with this flinter and a cap lock :thumbsup:

No Sir, these are known as the woodpigeon, the collared dove is small by half and grey in colour.
