Shoot it or watch it time again.........

[JonnyP]

I can imagine how this one will go, but who knows ?
Would you rather shoot the pigeon or watch it............

 

[Snufkin]

I posted other as I would do both. You can't effectively hunt a creature without studying it.

 

[Spikey DaPikey]

All depends what the situation is at the time, place, reason etc

 

[Toddy]

Me too; the odd one or two in the garden are fun to watch, but en masse in agriculture they're a pest besides one of my poacher friends takes them and uses them in the barter network, I may not eat them but HWMBLT likes them

Cheers,
Toddy

Yup,
By all means study the habits, they enable you to become a more effective hunter.

Looks as though it has a bit of Bumblefoot infection, middle toe, left foot

Very good...............

 

[BorderReiver]

Mostly watch,until I get hungry.

 

[g4ghb]

I'd watch!


but thena again if i had a gun (and knew how to use it to be fair) I wouldn't be adverse to shooting it either!

quite happy to shoot it with a camera for the mo though (huge cop out i suppose! )

I voted watch but then again..........

Great way to summerise it. I agree with this quote.

I think you have to have a certain degree of respect and admiration for Animals when your hunting them. Otherwise you'd mercilessly kill them all off, like a mate of mine.

That was very, very funny

 

[Poacher]

Well, i have to agree that they defo need watching but they do taste good!
With everything i shoot i do it in moderation and only 'take for the pot' to feed my family.
I enjoy the thrill of the hunt (especially when its not totally legal) but also enjoy just a wander in the woods and seeing the wildlife all around.

 

[sharp88]

I enjoy a fresh wild meal such as pidgeon, squirrel or rabbit on occaision, but il have to go with watching it. I'd agree there is a thrill of the hunt, but then again thats what I'd say when we were chasing down the fatboy at school :AR15firin .

 

[Bigman]

Watch and would only shoot it with my camera.

 

[leon-b]

yesturday i was down 'the pit' where we keep all the pheasants ready for the shoot, we made it a bit stronger and patched up the holes where the foxes get in, we should be shooting in about a month or so

Chasing fatboy's? Whatever float's your boat i suppose!

Hum, for a bird I'd probably just watch, maybe a pheastant I'd shoot or other big bird - but if I had the chance i would love to go on a boar or dear hunt - but would like to have the right training etc. so that I wouldn't be taking the wrong ones, and so i would know how to go for quick clean kill.
