2nd Time Unlucky...

[Manco 16]

Splat! The bird crap hit the lounge window leaving two dirty tear-drop marks followed by much clucking and co-ing from the roof gable above. "That's what I think of your shooting!" the dove seemed to say. Who can resist such a challenge? I loaded the 'X' with a Gamo ProMagnum pellet and sneaked outside. The bird was still perched on the gable end and I put the cross on its head and began to squeeze the trigger. But I had taken too long lining up the shot and the dove flew off. Bliksem. It circled a tree in my garden about 30 metres away and then landed on a branch. I approached another 5 metres under cover and took a standing shot. It was second time unlucky - for the dove that is. After taking the photo I removed the breast from the bird and put it in the freezer. Another one or two will provide a lekker meal.

 

Good shooting, Chris

I have been toying with taking a few magpies and pigeons off the bird table, they keep scoffing all fat balls and seed.

when police came to see me after my neighbour rang cops their main reason was that it was a built up estate with too many cats kids and cars. it was a pcp at the time and hardly made a noise so i wasnt disturbing anybody..much.. and none of the pellets ricoched or left my garden..

 

but its not worth the hassle. my neighbours are d**kheads! eaisier to just goto the farm and shoot there.. plus it would be too easy theres a crow/woody on every chimney!!!
