watchman 256 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 if you could only ever shoot ONE currently accepted species of bird,what would it be and why,for me it would have to be the wiley old wood pigeon,the variety of shots this bird can offer is second to none imo,have had some days out when they seem all most suicidal,and other days where they come in jinking and turning and i coulnt hit them for toffee,wich in my case is not difficult,iv certainly thrown more lead past them than at them lol, they are readily available and good to eat,just wondered what some of you lads would choose and why,cheers rob Quote Link to post

watchman 256 Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ducks, cos they're tasty! Corvids you can trap good point,cant imagine waisting boxes of cartridges on corvids anyway,if only able to shoot one species,id want something ,shall we say as an all-rounder,good sport-good eating,although have to admit duck is the better tasting of the two Quote Link to post
Dakaras 3 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ducks here as well, though second would be woodies. Quote Link to post

flytie 1 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Wild duck, specifically teal (if pressed to choose just one species). Wonderful shooting and they taste good too ft Quote Link to post
