WGD Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 yeah.......like smacking the thing on your knuckles when you miss...............youch! Hold the bird by the wings (crudely speaking). A live birds head and neck will stick up and out and your hand is well out of the way.

ditchman Posted September 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 really the only way to dispatch birds is to spin and flick the birds ...you cant be messing about in the hide with taking it off the dog ..holding the gun getting a priest or whatever machine out of your pocket blah..blah blah....i do understand a lot of people are squeamish as they can feel the birds beak in their hand etc...just get used to it ...you will pull a few heads off to begin with, its the quickest way to do it............if the queen can do it im sure you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
