henry d Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I had been watching a splash for over a week and have waited for it to shrink in size so I could shoot it without birds being at one end and me 200 m away. First 2 birds came in nice but too low and they were followed by a pack of 6-7 which circled and came in at a good height,dropped a duck with the 3rd shot :unsure: She was hit with the first 2 but only folded at the 3rd shot. 2 minutes later and 6 birds came over my side with a dozen or so too far off for a shot.Missed with the 1st shot and dropped with the 2nd.I then thought that 2 is good and it would be better to let the birds in as it wasn`t even dark yet. Out I went to pick the birds and 3 deeks and a pair came straight over and saw me and stood on their tails and I dropped the first and left it at that. Home,cuppa and gun cleaned.
