youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks mate, i think it's because they can be so successful that they end up overrunning a waterway. The pond these were shot on is plagued by them, the landowner feeds the ducks on the pond for him and his son to shoot on, so he can do without all the moorhens eating the duck feed.

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 didnt even know you could shoot them! We probably ate them at one point. The old boy round the corner goes on about eating their eggs as a kid, reckons he took 15 or 16(Not at once) from the same nest till his dad told him to leave them alone now.. My Grandad told me about him marking Lapwing nests with sticks to collect their eggs to eat too. Nice shooting buy the way YCH.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice shooting buy the way YCH.. yes as kids we marked the first clutch of peewits eggs some took them to eat ,i marked them so we didnt wreck the nest as we chain harrowed the fields ,there was one field above the village full of their nests they never nested anywhere other than that field ,as for the moorhens we skinned them before cooking ,good to eat too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1Wally 204 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I eat moorhens on the occasional time I get one. Then again I eat pretty much everything I get. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
