Bowhunting Pheasents

I haven't watched the video as I am on dial up. But, having seen bowhunting DVD's, mostly coyotes and bobcats, I would do it here if it were legal.

 

Shame you can't see the vid :good:

It's a few hunters actually shooting at pheasents on the wing after they've been driven into the air by dogs, then if they miss with the arrow they blatt away with shotguns.

I thought I'd seen it all haha.

Glad to read your open minded views of foreign hunting culture :good: Personally I don't hunt with a bow but that doesn't mean I knock those that do.

 

By the way what do you normally flush birds with if not dogs???

 

Best rgds

NB.

 

 

Ahem, where in my posts am I knocking what the hunters are doing? Because i'm afraid I can't find that part.

 

The reason why I mentioned dogs flushing the birds is because i'm describing the video to another member that can't see the clip.

 

I posted the video because I thought it was different, surprising and quite humourous, but I guess some people just need to lighten up?

OK - I'll retract my previous statement - I'm always spoiling for a row on Monday mornings :good:

Well I have a compound bow with a draw weight of about 55lbs (finger shooter, 3 of them anyway) and heck, I would not be fast enough to hit anything but a target. I shot a rabbit with a bow in Spain, but I was lucky the blighter sat down at the time!

I came from archery all the way to a shotgun and therefore appreciate the skill involved. My guess would be that some people would benefit from the disciplin involved.

Before you knock , try it yourself :lol: (directed at those who go on about the "mad yanks", so if the jacket fits,..............!!!!) :good:

At what point was walking right up to a pheasant and then shooting it with Bow or gun, sporting or respecting the quarry :) Really can't see the attraction at all. Even if it were at driven birds, there would be too many winged and suffering birds.

 

By the way that's not the only video where the yanks shot them before they have taken off five feet. They just don't have a clue. At that range if you hit it you can't eat it, so whats the point, they're not vermin you have to get rid of.

 

Sorry those who want to try it, but lets get real about respect for quarry shall we.

 

Rant over
