shouldnt you be looking for a few pics of a landrover with pigeons in it?? cos that pic of your "record bag" didnt quite add up im afraid! oh remember the snows coming, show some compassion for flipsake would you!

so what are you saying drd, shoot as many as you possibly can because your lucky enough to be in a good area for them? serious question, not a jibe

i just have 1 question for those that reckon its okay to hammer woodcock. just how much is enough? i know for a fact that greed is the prime motivation for alot of woodcock shooters and it sickens me. and what if something went terribly wrong with woodcock next year, and the population was threatened, would any of these guys think to themselves you know maybe i shouldnt have bagged 150 in the freezer last year. every time i shoot one im aware of what this hardy bird endured to reach these shores and it as an epic and tough journey, and as a result if i shoot 3 im pleased, but im even more pleased if i flush many more than i shoot.

always with the hostility oth, just because i put points to you that you cannot answer so you resort to the childish tactics.thats so like you. oh by the way, the weather is to turn cold later in the week, i do hope you will be showing compassion to the pigeons now wont you!!! hahaha

i guess the purpose of the pic was to impress with the numbers? personally i think that is excessive shooting of woodcock, but i cant stop you

again you just dodge the points put to you! have you got a problem with ferretman saying he shot them bags? and dont deny it! its obvious you do

oh dear it seems as though oths pigeon shooting inferiority complex is kicking in! how could someone possibly shoot more birds than the "MASTER"! just come out with it, are you accusing ferretman of being full of it?

ok then i have come to the conclusion that i am the best woodcock shot in the country, seeing as how i find them quite easy to kill, and most here find them incredibly tough to hit! excellent!

i have to agree with you there mike. there is an awful lot of idiots out there who shoot them and dont even want them. what is the point in that as you say. and blackbart i have shot a fair few woodcock in my life, and they do offer some very straight forward shots at times. if you disagree then what great variety of shots to they give you in comparison to the mix of shots pigeon provide? you want to believe they offer great shots when in reality they are mostly just straight away snap shots. and if they have to fly a bit of distance over an open field after they break cover then they provide an even more basic shot

i have to admit that woodcock dont often offer a real test of marksmanship, and they are quite easy to knock down. i am by no means sore on them, i would shoot about a dozen each season. its the thrill about never knowing when they will spring up that gets me going. i disagree about the comparison to liver, dont think they are anything remotely like liver, and they have ample meat on them. put it this way, they have as much on them as a teal if not more. like sako i cant abide anyone who would look to shoot big bags of woodcock, but i know it goes on unfortunately. its a very short season on them, and they are widespread throughout the uk when they arrive from russia etc, so i feel justified in potting a few for the soup pot

but maybe he just thought it was a bit silly to go down a level to have a shootoff with you. he didnt see the point in it? its all becoming clear now, i understand your hostility now a little bit

jeez so much hostility, im intrigued by this benelli guy that got under your skin so much. was he a far superior shot to yourself, is that the root of the problem here?

oh ok sorry mc sir. maybe your just a bit intellectually challenged then. not to worry, its good to see you were allowed to own a firearm.

what sort of condition were the birds in ollie? did it look like they had been a while to get a bit of fat on them yet?

have you been on the drink today or something?
