Humane Bird Dispatcher

[Karpman 44]

Hey people

 

After a post on here and a bit of research I decided to take the plunge on a pair of Humane bird dispatching pliers. Here

 

I actually paid just over 16 quid for mine new from Fleabay, So made a decent saving. The reason I fancied a pair was not because I was squeemish as was suggested more to do with a fast clean and clinical way to dispatch birds when things have gone wrong....

 

Me pliers arrived over a week ago and first impression were fairly well built, Small enough to fit in a game bag and rather light too.

Things could not get anymore simple with a little digram on the back showing position to place the plier blades directly below the head, It was a week before I had chance to test them to there full effect.

 

This morning I had a difficult shot at a paced 30 yrds, Could not see to much of the head and the bird was face on. Confident in my abilities now I got on the bonnet of my car and used the roof to rest the bi pod. Breath Thwack down it came

As I approached I could see the bird was still alive so quickly I grabbed the Pliers out of the bag picked the bird up was in position in a fraction of a second, A quick but firm squeeze later the job was finished. No flapping No loss of feathers and no mess.....

 

Everyone should own a pair, Superb indeed. Not cheap granted but compared to what you spend on your rifle there peanuts.

 

Cheers

'Not cheap granted but compared to what you spend on your rifle there peanuts' Is'nt the idea to kill them with your rifle

it was only a joke but kind of a serious point, should'nt take a shot that you think wont kill it because you have a dispatcher and most people dont need one because they are able to dispatch something with their hands.

[Karpman 44]

Why would you take a shot because you have one?

 

I can dispatch birds or any other quarry I'm likely to encounter with.my hands and have done many times, that don't mean it's the best method do'es it.

 

There a great bit of kit and wish I had one earlier on driven shoots.

 

Guess you have 100 per cent shot to kill ratio, if only we could all be so perfect...

Edit just to say this review was meant to maybe help some, maybe even be useful.

 

Will be the last one I wright due to the pedantic nature of folks around here.

sorry if it came accross rudely but i was just saying that you don want people to get one thinking that they can take bad shots that theydont think will kill because they can use their dispatcher. and actually they would be pretty handy on driven shoots

Yeah sorry dude bit narley at The minute, bloody handy to have on board. So simple even for a novice.

they sound good, thunk ill get a pair to dispatch the numerous birds i trap,so its alot quicker and cleaner than whacking them on something solid?!!!

was a good review, maybe get a video up so others can see it in action, its something I should have in my pocket, but don't, maybe Ill get the office to order me a set, as Im culling ferals most nights either by rifle or hand, the main difference I can see with this, apart from giving an instant humaine kill, is they look proffessional, so for any onlookers, it gets sorted fast, yes people can dispatch by hand, but its never 100% clean, I remember once being audited on london underground whilst doing a pigeon cull, doing everything by the book, two techs,fully suited up in white boiler suits,masks,gloves etc, had shot around 15 ferals no problem, but the next one was only winged, the torch man picked it up and handed it to me to dispatch with a twist of the neck, well its head came clean off

and the flapping bird then pumped blood all over me, looked like something from the chainsaw masacre, still passed my audit ok, but always remember, it would have been simpler,cleaner,quicker and better looking, if it had been done with above pliers

Spot on. Likewise, I've pulled heads of ferals far more often than I'd care to admit! Now, I usually hold body in one hand and continually twist the head until the neck breaks in the other. This rarely results in a head being pulled off, and works perfectly for any size bird from a sparrow to a goose. (Not that I'm shooting sparrows you understand, just an example.)

Cheers for that Stubby, I am a fair shot but pigeons are tough gits for sure.

 

Had one head shot other day pellet was straight through bird was just clinging onto life when I got there, a quick squeeze and was all over can use em for picking feral pigeons and rats up to.

 

And no I'm not squeamish before someone suggests it lol
