MM Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 got my first kill today, but it was in the name of kindness, not food or sport. my cat got hold of a woody in the neighbours garden, and he ask me if i could catch the bird as it was suffering badly. after a bit of running round, i decided not to frighten the thing any more and went for the webley. remembering the post earlier about hitting them in the neck, i loaded and gave it my best shot. a straight kill. bagged and binned. even though it was not how i wanted to do it, i was a bit pleased that it did the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njc110381 Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Good job done then, well done! How did the neighbour take to it? Now's the time to get the wifey used to the idea! Get those feathers off and cook it up for the cat! Now it's dead, what does it matter what happens to it? In fact, better to make use of it than waste it IMO My other half is a veggie. She loves animals and can't stand to see them being killed or hurt. After major discussion she knows why Vermin needs to be controlled or Deer numbers need reducing. She still can't watch me shoot anything but can deal with (or at least not be upset by) a pile of dead things, guts and blood in the sink when I get home. She admits it's better that I make use of the life I've taken than throw it away because she doesn't like the look of it. The more people we can get to understand the background of our sport, the more chance it will have of surviving. If shooting is banned, things will still need controlling. How is another matter. Poison? Gassing? Trapping? Most of these make the meat inedible, yet the creature still dies. Sorry about me rambling on. It's great you've taken your first quarry and can see how it was a good thing. A great thought too to save the bird any more suffering. Happy hunting for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
