youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 well just 15 minutes ago i went out to feed the hawk, opened the door and heard a set of wings, looked over the garden gate and there was 2 wood pigeon, one on the floor the other sat on the fence at hearing the door open, ran up stairs grabbed the catty and a marble as i couldnt find my coat with the 12mm lead in . ran back down stairs opened the door and shot the pigeon on the right at 10 yards. a little flapping was all it could manage before it passed. only problem is the marble went on to dint the metal bike shed behind it, so that made me glad not to have used 12mm lead ha. cut the breasts off and straight in with the hawk. hawk tucking in by the way the black shit on the wall is what came out of a baby bunny that i shot what the bird had yesterday. cleaning him out tommorow 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TC i did try to leave feathers on it, i usually freeze pigeons for a month before feeding to make sure no nasties can survive but i just thought it would be good for a bit of warm meat so just cut the breasts off to stop any chance of disease or worms Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to be careful, as I've moved to a more built-up area, but the catty still makes the odd appearance........... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
