Pest control at several permissions through June & July. Pigeons turn their attention to the Farmer’s winter cattle feed maize & disease strikes the rabbit p…

May 2019 – spring gets ready to hand over to summer with longer warmer days & many pests emerging to take advantage. Rabbits are causing much damage for a farmer, both in the meadow and amongst the crops. No birds in the sights this month as the government dithers with the general licence fiasco in the UK & our farmers pay the penalty.

A new permission this month with challenges to meet for the farmer in his cattle barns & freshly sown corn fields.
Pigeon and rabbit numbers accelerate in the spring warmer weather.

February shooting including aerial footage for a bird’s eye view of pigeon decoy patterns.

A selection of shots from my hunting video diary taken through the year. No shot information is added to these ‘best of’ annual compilations… if you’re interested then you’ll find info in the relevant month’s video. Thanks for watching!

August video diary including a look at some hide & decoying techniques that I use for summer shooting. The drought finally breaks but animal habits have already changed to adjust to its effect on farm land meadow & arable feeding grounds.

The best time for summer wood pigeon decoying is upon us… another reasonable morning yesterday with a tally of thirteen.

Coming up in the Air Hunter August video diary – a look at how I set up a decoying hide, a quick cheap & very tasty recipe for rabbit or pigeon liver, & plenty of hunting footage.

July 2018 hunting diary – just realised I didn’t post a link in my channel…. Comments welcome… I’m trying to add content variations to keep things interesting & avoid just showing the same old ‘shooting’ stuff month on month….

Hmmm… have to work out a game changer to crack the 2000 barrier!

Scorching summer weather brings out the bunnies but decoying has yet to pick up normal summer momentum. Some beautiful scenes at dawn and dusk for the hunter that makes the effort to be out amongst nature….

Rabbit populations have decreased 60% since 1996 in the UK, apparently down to new disease strains… however a trip last evening to my farm permission which has only ever had limited infestation in just one area, revealed that its population is spreading to nearly half way across the farm. New footage to be included in my June…[Read more]

1321 today…. 🙂

For anyone with ten minutes to waste….. here’s how to score over 1000 on the crossword.

Back over the thousand again today…

2018 May part 2 – summer accelerates & the game bag grows ….

Pests & hunting gather momentum as the weather warms up.. plenty of hunting at all permissions means plenty of opportunities to help the farmers….

Tonight’s bag of rabbits… the landowner is pleased but I can’t help notice that rabbit numbers are significantly down compared to spring last year at the same location… pest control efforts must be working!! These four all for the mincer I think.
