Guest diesel Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 thats a fair amount of birds there mate.... qaulity though..... the farmers will be happy... Quote Link to post
pegandgun 52 Posted May 22, 2005 Report Share Posted May 22, 2005 Why shoot those poor little branchers.They havent even had a chance of a life.Rooks do more good than harm for farmers anyway.I reckon its a sick,cruel and totaly unsporting excuse just for you to pull the trigger.Try going back to enjoying our flora and fauna in the summer months and take what you need in the winter months.(WE should all take a leaf out of the American indians outlook on life.)
