fenboy Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) No not illegal at all, but why would you want to they are not the hardest of targets when in the air . Edited November 29, 2012 by fenboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 ...why would you want to?

cockercas Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've shot pheasants on the ground with a .243 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 not sporting at all. anyone doing it in the name of sport are "not right" :hmm: :lol: Sport, being bred, fed and kept in an area, being scared into taking flight in the direction of guns....... who shoot some of the easiest targets possible is Sport! But shooting them on the ground isn't. :hmm: Look, I have no criticism/problem with Pheasant Shoots, but some people bandy the word Sport around with ease, perhaps you could define the word for me! :good: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 .. who shoot some of the easiest targets possible is Sport! sometimes I wonder whether people ever actually have much experience before posting, decent pheasants take a lot of beating and they can be far from the easiest targets possible.

Ha Ha, I shoot and beat on 100% the most prestigeous shoot in the UK, no money will ever get you a place, you need an invite, I said some, as always some birds are tricky. And I hold with my original statement...."some of the easiest targets possible in Sport!" First load of the day!
