jazmin 46 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Went out this morning crack of dawn to a local wood and took up place next to an old pine tree.After 5 mins of being hassled by a roe buck protesting loudly a woody came floating in about 30 yard away.Cross hairs on whack down it came bisley mags are hard hitters in this gun.I wait before going to pick up but a screech above rings out Jay..Ive been off this week and a few visits to this wood ive heard them but never got one in veiw.Just trying to pin point it i notice another fly in then another.This goes on till five in total are up there in front of me.The raider cocked ,on target and phut.....jays scatter ole numb nuts forgot to ease mag over letting fly with air only Never mind lesson learned i must remember to use it so the mag is flicking in when a first shot is taken.Like i say wait all week then along come bloody five Quote Link to post

jazmin 46 Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Lol phantom, funny thing is mate its one of the only woods in my area that holds them.Last year i seen them it was two tops together but this morning to see five was a one off in this area.Always keep an eye out in the woods for thicker areas and sometimes wood edges (ive found they hang about these areas most).Stunning colours but total buggers with the songbirds.

robkmx 0 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 i managed to shoot one while out lamping a couple of month ago it just sat there like a mug with the light in its face i managed to get 20 yards away from it then put it down Quote Link to post

Dont know of anywhere around here where there are any at all Phantom I dont think you like them at all, i reacon they got the brain power of about 5 magpies put together and then times that by 2 and that would be a juvinile jay. really smart birds, at times almost impossible to get close too and if you stumble apon one and it flys away doing its screech call you may aswell go home because all other quarry for miles away will be on edge Richard Quote Link to post
