Bossmugler 14 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Great to see the corvids getting a bashing, as well as approval from a twitcher Quote Link to post
saintsman54 15 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) This post persuaded me to have a look out of my window this morning, and at the veg patch was a big fat woody! I waited as it wasn't a safe shot, and it flew up into a tree, right behind two twigs crossing right infront of its head. So waited some more for it to bob it head from behind the twigs. Then using my old HW 35 and a little lead wasp, I took the head shot and down it tumbled. It landed about 30cm from the ferrets so they got a nice fresh warm breakfast! So thanks, I'm glad I read the thread Edited February 9, 2013 by saintsman54 Quote Link to post

A1WOC 212 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 A couple of weeks have passed; the first opportunity I’ve had to sit by my bedroom window at the crack of dawn was rewarded. A crow perched at the top of my neighbour’s tree was humanely dispatched before I had the chance to make a brew. I could get used to this, unfortunately the corvids are getting wise, and although there is an abundance of them around my neighbourhood, sightings within shooting distance are less frequent.

ELECACE 3 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 ITS NICE WHEN YOU CAN TAKE A SHOT THROUGH A SMALL OPENING OF A BEDROOM WINDOW AND HIT A CROW WITH A PERFECT HEAD SHOT ELECACE. Quote Link to post
