al4x Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 bearing in mind we have answer saying they aren't really a marshland bird anyway perhaps if the inland shooters didn't move them on then wildfowlers wouldn't see any of them anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I hope I'm one of the posters referred to who has felt denegrated by the opening paragraph in this thread on what non wildfowlers do to what comes across as quarry that appears to be the sole right of fowlers to shoot. I have taken issue with the frame of mind of several fowlers over the last few "Canada threads" who seem to think non fowlers are somehow never entitled to shoot them, nor allowed to use a rifle to do it. If you think I'm being led - please look back at my posts in older 'Canada threads. Now I'll admit I'm slightly dyslexic so I don't always put into words exactly what I mean to say or forget to say. So please understand this: I have no ill will towards wildfowlers, what they do, nor how they do it, in fact I admire the efforts they put into their shooting pursuits. What I take very badly and will defend are an attack on the methods used by other people who shoot Canada geese for whatever reason they wish - we all have reasons for doing it. Deeper into this thread there was a phrase to the effect of shooting the head off a goose - and that action would look bad for shooting. Up until then this thread was a fairly moderate exchange of views, though it might have been better if a few smileys were used. It is plain and simple fact to state that a blown off head is more humane than a bird that was sportingly shot at. May I suggest that fowlers get on with their shooting and we get on with ours without putting down the others in ***-for-tat postings that provoke a defensive response. Dyslexic or not, that sums it up better than I have manged all through this! I think many would agree it's time to put this to bed now! PS Why is Dyslexic so difficult to spell :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
