Underdog 2,337 Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 First pheasants of this season for me. Took my double frontloader and I was glad I had. The first bird ran out in front of me and lifted, flying away and right I aimed down his right and dropped the hammer. As he crumpled another bird appeared and did a similar move. Good distance shots around thirty yards, maybe a little more. Jessy whispered she wants a squirrel so I got her a few down to play with. U. 8 1 Quote Link to post

I have 2 main sites for the Pheasant/Partridge, both like to hold off until 1 Nov! Get a handful in general Pest Control sites though. 1 Quote Link to post

Funny you should say that. I cringe at running over anything in the car but shooting it is no problem! Go figure! 1 Quote Link to post

Must be 8-9 years ago I was coming back from a site with my lad down a narrow country lane, and this rabbit would just not get out of the way, I crawled along the road in the car and it simply ran down the road in front of us, it went on and on, in exasperation I eventually stopped the car, got out and chased it off the road. I had 20+ rabbit in the boot we had just shot....go figure! 2 Quote Link to post

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Driving home the other night and saw a hedgehog walking in front of the car stopped and watched it as it made its way across the road , me and the wife both said “aww ain’t that nice “ at that moment a golf GTI came zooming up , didn’t even slow and splatt, no more Mrs Tiggywinkle . Got to say me and the wife were both upset and annoyed. I know I shoot stuff , but you can still feel sympathy. 1 Quote Link to post

That's typical of VW drivers, self centered unfulfilled egotistical numb skulls " get out of my way" individuals. That should stir things up a bit. U 2 1 Quote Link to post
