An interesting video, a good shooter having a bad day and getting some advice to overcome it.

Great video, thanks for sharing it. I watch as much of George Digweed's videos as possible. That man is unreal with a scattergun.

This video reminded me of my dove hunt yesterday. Great field, lots of birds and the best location in the field. The problem was that I had to leave early to get to a Church function on time.

With limited time, “I tried too hard” and left with half a limit. Should have had an easy one...Dang! Thinking is a bad thing to do when you are shooting!

Brits have such a strange approach to shooting crows. Often set up in front of a hedgerow, instead of within which would offer awesome cover. Then put deeks way out in front of their hide. Most of the presentations then are from birds that spot the shooter before he/she has a chance to shoulder a shotgun. Shots in my opinion are difficult as crows are spooking, drifting back which is a difficult shot...especially if there is some wind. In this vid these shooters have put themselves in a position where shooting window is very small.

Ted: I've always been amazed at the relative lack of camouflage in most Euro videos we see on YouTube. Sometimes they're buried in a hedgerow with only a small opening, limiting their view and range of motion. Mostly, however, they "hide" behind a gossamer piece of fabric and that's it, with the local corvids and pigeons seeming to come in as if on rails. Drives me nuts as I've learned to really pay attention to camo.
