Hunting wood pigeons over decoys - Pigeon Shooting Hunting Video



Realtree Global Hunting joins Team Wild's very own Steve "Wildy" Wild and Big Steve with SPD Pest Control to take care of some pesky wood pigeons in the countryside of Derbyshire. These fowl have a habit of destroying crops and costing farmers thousands of pounds in damages each year, but our boys are back and taking care of the problem one shot at a time. Tune in to see how many of the birds the pair can bag and what techniques they utilise to lure them in and take them down.

Simple way to train "Whoa." No eCollars, barrels, suitcase handles, tables, posts, etc. - Dog Training Video



This is how I teach Whoa. It will vary from dog to dog and down the road I may strap an eCollar on the dog if it's needed or, while teaching Whoa, I may wrap the check cord around the flank (suitcase handle) if the dog calls for it, but this is typically how it's done. Often times I will use a metal prong collar, but Moxy is a pleasure to train and doesn't require one. Just a rope, folks!

Just an FYI, I did bring Cinna out to do a session with her, but she's not quite the joy to train as Moxy is. She started to get ornery so I had to put the camera down and focus on her so no video for Cinna just yet.

Pigeon Shooting Patrol In Essex - Pigeon Hunting Video



Pigeon Shooting Patrol

Geoff Garrod and son Justin answer a friend's call and head out to control a pigeon population that's wreaking havoc on a rape crop. In position with a natural hide and a convincing decoy pattern, the two lay in wait -- but their efforts are derailed when everything starts to go wrong at once. Worse (for Geoff), Justin's getting all the birds. With a father-son rivalry emerging, the pair are soon making feathers fly as they put their Brownings to good use and protect the crops in the process.

Pheasant Hunting With Matt Tobin Of The Philadelphia Eagles

By John Campbell, Reporter "Growing up, I did a lot of trap-shooting and stuff with my dad," Matt Tobin said. "When I was younger we did a lot of pheasant hunting. But there's not very much around anymore." On the weekend of March 15th, Tobin was walking the fields at the Highland Hideaway Hunt Club, helping raise funds for Aiming For a Cure. Tobin went from being a Hawkeye walk-on offensive lineman from Dyersville Beckman to a starter at guard. He is now in his second year with the Philadelphia Eagles. He tried to follow the Hawks last season, coming back to Iowa City for the team's win over Michigan on the Eagles' bye week. Tobin proved to be a dead-eye with a shotgun. He bagged "four or five" pheasants that day. The great outdoors are the source of Tobin's greatest conundrum. "I have two passions," he said. "I have hunting and football, and they come at the same time of the year. So I guess hunting's going to have to wait for now."
