jimdfish Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Went out today and set my hide up using a hedgerow as the front and the netting behind. 5 shots later and five in the bag. Next a flock of Ferals came in and I had such trouble sighting on one, they all landed. When they took off I had the same problem and shot at the lead bird. 2 down. They never really left after that and ended up with a good bag. Shooting ferals is fun, but does anyone else feel slightly dissappointed that they are not woodies. There were some amelias in the flock that I definetely shot to miss. jimDfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 have to agree jim that shooting ferals is good but i do feel "cheated" that they arent woodies.not much fieldcraft is needed with ferals imo. also why is it that stock doves know they are protected and decoy so well ? :< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digga Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 i must agree a feral landed in my deeks it was a handsome looking fit bird. maybe a racer having a rest, it deserved to live. a few seconds later it was gone! no flight line for him he new where he was going!
