Favourite quarry


WalkedUp

Recommended Posts

I have always been very passionate about wildfowling and my biggest trophy was always a Whitefront  when it come to geese and a drake Pintail for the duck , with Pinkfeet , the more we have come down this way the less of a challenge it is to get one , although still good to get, they don't make my heart race as they did in the past .

Like most members pigeon shooting is very high on my list for the amount of sport and variety it can produce throughout the year .

I do enjoy most forms of shotgun shooting with the exception of clay shooting .

Coastal wildfowling is truly magic. 
Geese of any sort are always exciting.
Duck at evening flight never fail to increase my heart rate, coastal or inland. 
In driven shooting, grouse are truly the epitome of sport with a shotgun.  
But traditional partridge are a good more affordable second. 
That is not to say that I am not excited by pheasants, because I can be. 
Strangely enough, woodcock do very little to excite me and now I am often happy to let them pass. 
With pigeons I have always preferred a good roost flight to a day’s decoying. 
I still get great satisfaction from outwitting a fox or two with a rifle. 
Likewise with grassing a deer, but I am beginning to wonder as I age why I have just shot some of the larger models when it comes to handling them.  
Driven boar give me a real buzz.  
Africa draws me back like a magnet, time after time. It is probably impossible to hunt there only once. 
I love it all, and I find it impossible to pick a favourite quarry as I have been privileged to have wonderful experiences with so many different species.
