Pheasant Shooting With An Air Gun

[C.green 3,203]

 

 

Shot plenty of pheasants with a 12ft/lb gun. Like most things you hit the head neck or lungs it's coming down. Allways took me old dog when I was on the birds. All taken legally in the day on permission.

 

Those Simmons optics. So wish I had one.

 

Think its the granite look.

Had aloft of guns but that was one of the best setups I've ever owned shot a HELL of a lot of game with that gun only thing I never shot with it were rabbits or hares anything else upto geese were fair game

If your going to eat it, then shoot it in the head. I have permission to shoot the odd Pheasant, but I only take cock birds.

If I want a Pheasant for the pot and I am on land where I am allowed to take them, which is pretty much all my permissions bar a couple, then I will take one simple as that, a head or neck shot is really the only shot to take,as hitting a vital organ with a tiny pellet is very hit and miss,and I would suggest 8/10 would be runners, but a head or neck shot kills instantly.

It nice being able to sneak up to a truly wild pheasant and head shot it with a airgun , but theres no skill involved shooting somebody else,s birds just out the pen with no tails

I`ve had one or two walk past me when hide shooting with air rifles.

Nothing is reared in my parts, they are truly wild.

I`ve taken them with my shot guns on the wing and my young GSP is on his first season this winter.

A 12 ft/lb air rifle would "easily take a pheasant" with head shot only and in the right hands.

They can be taken with a decent .177 carbine from a car window when they on the verge, so I been told.

to much of an easy target for the airgun rather do them in flight with the shotgun
