jasper65 6 Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Nice one Dafydd23 ... she did well mate but without putting a Dampener on things I would be a bit worried there might be something wrong with the Pheasant ... They're not normally caught that quickly in free flight from a stand still by the best of them so I would be thinking the Pheasant was flying at half Gas for some reason, Hopefully mate its ok and just made a mistake and not suffering from some Illness or pricked... cheers Jasper Quote Link to post
