andysparks 105 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Just back from a mooch down the lane with the dog and finally managed a few pheasants. I haven't seen any about in weeks but tonight I spotted half a dozen at least so, looking good for the future.....hopefully 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andysparks 105 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 A mix, two with 11mm steel and one with the 8x11 bean shot. All under 10 yards with nice clean neck shots. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Wilkes 2,914 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 Can’t beat that 11mm steel. I took the pup out earlier and was watching 5 hen and 3 cock birds just about to roost 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oblivious 26 Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 Good shooting mate Is that green GZK bands you are using? I haven't seen many pheasants about round my way this year yet. Need to start looking harder I think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You get within 40 yards and they run or fly off The birds are still a bit naïve at this time of the year and if i take my time and hold the dog back, I can normally get within decent range when they are in the bottom of the hedges. As the season goes on they get more scatty like you have said and its time to try alternative methods 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
