Decided to head out to try for a woodie. Want one to eat but had no luck on them. Ivy turned out to be a nightmare. Pigeons were tucked so tight into it I couldn't see them until they was already flying away. Then on the way home I spotted a squirrel but it went straight into the ivy. Not wanting to go home empty handed I decided to wait and see if he came out. After 2 minutes he popped his head out. I waited for him to step onto the branch a little further then dropped him with a clean headshot with and M 8 hexnut and single 1745
I would never use doubles anymore. Singles are just a
Ive heard its great, don't think its just the american side of things as I'm sure ive seen posts about falconers in Europe hunting roe deer successfully with them!
