oowee Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Up at 0300 for early fighting on geese. First birds in and my semi started to miss fire. Swapped to a lovely S Pigeon. Set up for a pair and the first one dropped on me. I had to dive for cover as it ploughed into my bag, chair and ammo in the standing corn. It was a close call. Managed my first pair of spur wings (with a o/u a few minutes later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a gamekeeper who was knocked out cold by a falling pink foot. He was found when he failed to return home for his breakfast, still unconscious !

Thus thing fell from 40m up and weighs a few kilo it would be like a punch from Tyson. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I lost my hog. Shot just under 3000 carts for tge week, just shy of 500 yesterday on the doves. Waterfowl could have been better as the peanut farms were a good trek in the mornings but no complaints. Pic below is a hog we collected. The one I lost was even bigger 😪 but I tell myself that's hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you , I happily eat squirrels and snails , and probably plenty of other things that most people wouldn't fancy. I'm feeling the need to try warthog now 🙂.
