wildflowers with a bang

    was thinkin about stuff like i usually do, and had a thought about what it would be like if you could load a small amount of wildflower seeds in every shotgun cartridge you used.

    say you took a shell that would hold 36 grams loaded it with 32 or indeed removed 4 yourself, and filled the rest up with a mixture of wildflower seeds, then every time you took a shot youd also be planting some seeds.

    it would be a kind of take a little give a little deal and it would be generally good for the environment.

    you'd also see after a while, the places that you were taking most of your shots, and over time you'd come across places where you took maybe a paticularly difficult shot and would remember it as it would be marked with some kind of wildflowers growing.

    was thinkin they would be good for rabbits especially cos your aiming at the ground, rather than blasting them 50 ft in the air where they could come down anywhere if your after birds.

    any way its just a thought, that i thought i'd throw out there, and see what everone else had to say on the matter.

    maybe if you used herbs, it would flavour the game you actually shoot and maybe plant some wild herbs for birds and rabbits

    NO

    Great thinking there .50 (MOA), would you have to use a field gun for that:D

    Hmm. Take a bunch of seeds, crush them using lead shot and high pressures, cook them with very high temperatures as you do it, then try to push them through a duck, then have them germinate?
    I haven't done it myself, you understand, but I don't think it'd work.



    You silly hippie.
    :p

    I think you would be better served by carrying a small bag of seeds and just dropping a pinch here and there as you walked about.
