Big Nick 8 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Anybody got any pheasants yet, or is it frowned upon on here? Please let me know as I want to put pics up but don't want to get in trouble, Cheers Nick Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi Nick. There is nothing to say you cant take a pheasnt with an air rifle mate. Some frown upon it, and say they should be up before shooting them. But.....if they want to waddle about in front of you, why not take a couple ? People worry more about what they can provide for the table, than what other people think. Put your pics up mate. ATB. Bill. 1 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 As long as they were shot after 1st October you are all good. But they are about as hard to hunt as a barn door. . . . . .very very little skill involved. Quote Link to post

Big Nick 8 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Well I shoot them with shotguns to but there is even less skill involved in that, a well placed head shot is humane, Now it's in the freezer for Sunday, anybody else got pics? My gun and kill And a close up to prove the headshot, Sorry if I have offended anybody but I will be having a nice Sunday dinner Cheers Nick Quote Link to post

But i had to stop shooting them around here unless i REALLY needed the meat, as it was getting silly, you could knock off a dozen in a 20 min walk, all from about 20 yards tops. Often from as little as 10 yards as they stood in the hedge hoping you had not seen them. Silly birds. At this time of year i see double figures everytime i leave my front door. I've even had to try to stop the dog nabbing them, as it's just pointless. Quote Link to post

Shooting them on the ground with anything is a piece of piss, you can kill them with a well aimed stick But well done anyhow, always nice to have one for the pot! 1 Quote Link to post
Big Nick 8 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I know what your saying mate I like having a walk round the farm with my shotgun and one flying out almost making me crap my pants,and then dropping it, can't stand all the lead shot though, I love pheasant to eat and I wouldn't shoot them if I wasn't going to eat it, Cheers Nick Quote Link to post
Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hi Nick. Nice dinner there mate.....enjoy Good pictures, and nicely placed head shot buddy. Got to say the furniture on your rifle is stunning, lovely grain mate. ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post
