According to my calendar Spring is just a couple of days away. One of the questions that we hear is, "When is the best time to shoot pigeons?" the answer one of the guides gave me was, "When they are in the field." That is the thing about pigeon shooting, is they are 100% Wild birds. Now is when the guide comes into their own. I would say I could build a pretty good hide, and my decoy set up matches the patterns from the books, but its the guides that live everyday to find birds, and the only way to do this is drive, look drive some more and then drive a bit more and look for them. And still on the day the birds may have moved off. That's Pigeon Shooting, but NOW IS THE TIME TO GET OUT IN THE FIELD!!
Now if you're like me, you enjoy casting a fly, and you're going to fish in England, don't forget your Rod Licenses, in Scotland you do not need one. I have had reports of Fresh fish being caught on the Dee and also on the Tyne.
The indications so far is that Driven Pheasant and Partridge prices are going to hold around about the same prices as last year, so far all we need is for us to have a bad grain season this summer, which will drive up the costs. Looking for a days shooting Pheasants, Partridge, Goose, Duck, now is the time to book, while everything is stable.
