were they disturbing the peace on the play gym.......bastards shotem all mate bring the darkness on those birds.
The maize paddock I shoot in has just been rolled waiting for it to be seeded then there will be alot more, 270m is the longest shot I have taken of course I miss but im getting close I see the dust cloud come up right next to this pigeon I shot at. its a 3-9X50 cheap scope of trademe but it works fine alot better then I thought it would.
Thanks for that Toby me and possom trapper were talking scopes tonight,what cal. are you using?Quote:

Thats a 2yr old racing pigeon from the Hawkes Bay Club. The benzing tag is the state of the art eguipent used for tracking speed and times of the racing pigeons. I guess you stopped the clock on that one.:D:D:D
Haha thanks for that, Yeah he stopped allright.
Edit: What do I do with the tag, do they want it back or anything?
I'll let them no Toby but that tags your trophy mate good skills,will see if they want benzing back but its not much good now the clocks stopped:cool::D:D They're a bloody pest mate so don't lose any sleep over it.
Nah I dont mind at all, Kinda wished I shot more with tags so I could collect them on a lanyard like duck bands
I sent the Pigeon racing club the details hopefully I can tell you more tomorrow.
Its bloody interesting getting a tagged bird as you can track it back which is cool.
The last pigeon I shot that was tagged was from MPC which is Manawatu pigeon club which I shot at the Vagas areodrome while doing a duck disturbance under a permit.:D The bugger flew in range and I tracked the tag back too a local guy that just let his bird out for a feed and fly before he was going to lock it back in the loft.:D
haha
