hawkeye Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Wait till after dark then use a lamp (with dimmer switch if possible ) go quietly and keep the light as dim as you can and you can usually shoot quite a few as they dont like to fly in the dark...( i use a red filter on mine ) i have a deben that just clips on to the scope.. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I shoot hundreds each year with my AAs410c and a lamp at night. But we shoot far more at this time of year decoying on the stubbles around the farms with a shotgun. I suppose if you only have the chance with an air rifle then the lamp is your only real option.

Harnser Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I personally wouldnt eat them ,so if I was shooting ferals I would bury them on the farm . Harnser . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M ROBSON Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I usually leave them in a sack for the farmer to get rid of, that way he can see how many I've shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catamong Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 'What do you do with the bodies?....................' What happened to 'if you shoot it, eat it' Ugh....... , you've got to be joking They're not worth the price of a cartridge, I generally leave 'em alone when decoying, as they keep floating around over the deeks, and that draws the Woodies in.
