Woody from tree to plate

[Rcdavison1984]

Not a bad head shot from near 40yrds with my sub 12ft/lb 22

 

Surprised myself with my Stanley knife skills to!

[aga man]

nice job fella make sure not to overcook the breasts 3 or 4 mins either side in very hot frying pan

[JDog]

That is a nice fat bird. What was in it's crop?

[clayboster]

as agaman states, those breasts can be a bit tuff when over cooked, nice clean shot there too.

[Rcdavison1984]

Thanks chaps.

 

I counted 5 whole acorns...they are mad for them at the minute.

[Rcdavison1984]

They all sit on the floor under the tree, always 20+ birds and all very plump...problem is I don't have permission for that land so I have to wait for them to fly into my tree for a breather

[Rcdavison1984]

Thanks, was a little lower than I would of like, misjudged by about 10mm was going for a head shot but ended up a neck shot. Still dropped on the spot so was nice and clean.

[clayboster]

head or neck shot, if it dropped, its a clean kill in my oppion , well done.

good shooting.my lad loves the meat diced,fried in a bit of butter and when there nearly cooked put a squirt of tomato sauce in and chase the meat around the pan until all the sauce is cooked onto the meat.

[Rcdavison1984]

That's a new one...pigeon and ketchup. How did you come across that dish? Could be worth a try on the next bird

[BRNDL]

[Underdog]
