Top man keep knocking em over! a distinction can be made between someone shooting pheasant a couple hundred yards away and someone choosing to stalk a savvy bird close enough to have a chance with open sights and head shot with a single slow bullet! :-) U.

wildfowler.250 Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 End of the day, it's a clean kill. Better welfare than anything farmed so can't see how anyone can really moan. Eaten then no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED BEARD Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 a sound bit of shooting ,better to be one man out with his gun nice and quiet than masses of guns and beater crashing about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) On the ground and unsporting doesn't come into it for me, if it hed been with a shotgun it might be a different matter but it wasn't so that is a ctracking shot with open sights for a very nice meal with no meat damage or wastage. Well done mate! Edit: Anyone from the "Overkill Brigade" going to arrive and comment! . Edited November 8, 2013 by Frenchieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Can I just say that is overkill and unsporting. Now I have said it hopefully no one else will feel the need to knock a good sporting shot with a great rifle at a legitimate quarry in season. That is the ultimate shooting for the pot and is no different to me and my spaniel walking a hedge and hitting a flying bird with my shotgun. Well done, I salute you. I hope to have a lever action one day it is one of the ultimate sounds in shooting when you cock the action bit like cocking a pump action shotgun, two sounds I love to hear.

Underdog Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Thanks fellers. I can feel a craving for the taking one or two with the muzzleloader soon. Watch this space as they say! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cottonseed Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's a cracking experience taking a gamebird with a muzzle loader. Go for it! Or will you be using a muzzle-loading rifle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted November 30, 2013 Report Share Posted November 30, 2013 I personally don't care if a shots 'sporting' or not if your shooting for the table it should only come down to safe/unsafe, I've shot a partridge on the ground with a shotgun before then dropped one of its mates as they all lifted up out the long grass, my wife enjoyed it so who's it harmed. Would never do it on a shoot though as there is more etiquette involved but hunting is hunting. Well done mate excellent shot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Majyk Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 good shooting there mate! stuff the "overkill, unsporting" stuff, if your hunting for the table i say it doesn't matter what your using along as its a clean kill and a safe shot! wish i had a patch of ground i could hunt on with an un-moderated under-lever! i can say I'm jealous of you!
