starlight32 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 You got the bird though -right? The way the cost of shooting is going it may be cheaper to run them over rather than shooting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykayaker Posted June 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 i had a quick look for it after i turned round to go back home but couldnt find it (its definately dead as it smashed my bl***y windscreen whilst i was doing 60 !!) i reckon it must have landed in the hedge i never stopped to look for it properly as i was more concerned about getting home without the screen falling on me!! never thought it would do so much damage!!

Next time leave the car at home and use a cheap chinese springer No not the brake but a spot just above the coupler that dumps an emergency system and does not come off untill 5mph, or the tripcock that is used on the Met Line and has to be re-set when at a stand Edited June 30, 2008 by Browning GTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are soooooooostupid, i was out stalking bunnies the other night, sat in a hedge looking out, heard a noise below me. looked down, there was a cock bird complete with fluffy ears stood by my feet looking up at me!!!!!!! I couldnt have shot it even if it was in season.....that would have just been too unsporting!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
