Pole Star Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I had a visit from a shooting farmer today & he told me he noticed a dead young Greylag hanging on his fence so he went investigate & when he got hold of it he find it was live , not with any life but live with electric ! it turns out that by pure bad luck the poor thing had got is newly fitted BTO ring hooked up on the fencer . This is a new one to me ? the rings they fit on geese are not closed type but a bend around type & this allowed the wire by shear bad luck to hook into it , felt sorry for it not a nice way too go .

huffhuff Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 I find some of your statements rather objectionable and distasteful, Pole Star. However, a real shame (and fluke) about the greylag. (null) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangford wildfowler Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 An odd way to go for sure, my dad read this and told me that he was shooting teal and one particular bird missed but the bird dazzled by the shot just missing and it flew into an electric wire 20yards away!!
