boratsonator Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 Pretty cool. We have a few 'Blue' pheasants (blackish) which I leave alone during the season, makes for a more varied shooting trip out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rich1985 Posted November 4, 2014 Report Share Posted November 4, 2014 If I saw it on my patch I would shoot it and get in on eBay! Taxidermists would pay a few quid for that I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFreeman1310 Posted November 5, 2014 Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 I don't see why you would want to shoot it it makes a good sighting. Same reaction to the white deer all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evo Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 I don't see why you would want to shoot it it makes a good sighting. Same reaction to the white deer all over again. tell that to all our native songbirds, just because it is white makes no difference , its a grey squirrel and will go out of its way to destroy songbird nests, don't let the fluffy white fool you, if i was out and saw it then it would end up the same way as every other squirrel i shoot, leaving it would only give it a chance to multiply,its a nice looking thing but its still a vicious killer atb Evo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
