runforyourlife 361 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 its difficult to tell mate off that pic wether it is soft or hard, i know it looks thin. I watched it through the binos at about 30yrds and it didnt act like a robin, however like i said above, i maybe wrong.. We cant put a definate tho so it will go into the delete bin.. with no name.unless you are 100% sure bud? Russ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
