kip270 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nice and sunny. Is it only birds you shoot or are there mammals as well. Do you eat those birds?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedep Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 last one hey kip.. yeah you get other animals too..its just that these pics were taken in the afternoon and at this time you dont see many other animals around. there are lots of rabbits, porcupines, various varieties of small deer (which a good fac rifle could handle) etc. a good lamping session will see you all these other critters. and yes, you can eat these birds in the pics...very similar to chicken ps: the weather is very hot during the day..so most of the shooting is done early morning or late evening. you also get wild boar..but you'll need a shottie for that sacha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Nice pictures. Are there any fish in the river ? Do you get wildfowl, like ducks and geese on the marshes, or is it mainly the heron/egret type birds ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickedep Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 hey cranfield.. yes we usually have two types of widlfowl in this area that i know of...one's the sri lanka jungle fowl which is kinda common and the other is the spur fowl which is a protected species. usually no ducks/geese in this area mate...there's another place i go to by this big lake where you get ducks as well as herons/egret type of brids etc. yeah you can go fishing too if youre ever get tired of shooting...mostly local catfish and other river fish because water is muddy/murky aorund this area,nothing too large though..but if you go down river closer to where river meets the sea..you can catch some good game fish like large baramundi, mangrove jacks, knife fish and even Baracuda depending on time of the year(when more salt water comes into the river). sacha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
