chrispti Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Red Crested Pochard are a non-native species. I'm surprised no-one's asked about shooting them yet. I thought they normally shoot them first then ask questions (with pictures) later :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I thought they normally shoot them first then ask questions (with pictures) later :look: Sad, but true Chris. Probably best to lamp them at night with a silenced air pistol. :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKPoacher Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 never thought of that could you use an old white feed sack as a decoy Better to use a .22 though. .177 might not be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Better to use a .22 though. .177 might not be enough. Now Im confused :blink: I thought .177 was for duck and .22 for geese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
