When it comes to dispatching birds, i think using a fishing priest is a good method!
Its quick with little fuss or hastle!

I have done that on occasion they just pop right off!:D:D

I find the best way to dispatch birds is to hit them with as much lead as possible :D

I hit one with the disc break of a motorbike at 120kmph :rolleyes::D

Very dramatic!
He flew into the wheel
The bandit 600 disc cut him like a con-saw

Grizzly 45

I wouldn't recommend using any flying machines for the pigeons. Reports from the lads in the field suggest it's less than optimum.

My underpants are for me and a few selected females only!

Back on dispatching game.
I normaly go for head shots, but on birds The smack of a heavy object usually does the trick.

I was watching this as a rerun the other night!

I shoot on average of 4 days a week JW

I would shoot more if I have holidays.
That generally is 12 months a year.
Sometimes I go more than once a day as I have stated before, Out the back door and hop the fence and i am in the sticks.

I shot a little bunny wadda for my mates fox trap.
Saying that, it was quite windy today and bunnies hate the wind so I was doing well to even get one.

How often do you go JW
Just out of interest

Dusty87

Dont talk back to JW.
He always right

nice1franko

I shoot once or twice a year. Once on 1st Nov. and maybe once again over Christmas, if it isn't too cold.

I've the *best* of gear and I always bring a flask of tea, a shoulder of sloe gin and sandwiches. Sometimes I tuck into these on the 2nd or 3rd field.

But other than that it's "see yous next year lads!

Dusty87

Once or twice a year?? Are you messing? I go out 3 or 4 times a week. Sometimes for the day, sometimes for an hour

+1 on that.
As i have a crazy shift pattern shooting takes up any of my free time, from an hour, to a day

nice1franko

Ah no- only messing. Just slagging that "type". You know the ones, have beaters and what not.

I used to get out most Sunday morns but now, truth be told, I get out maybe every second Sunday for the duration of hunting season plus a couple over extra Christmas. I have a young family, moved into an apartment so use a mates dog... excuses, excuses... I've become that which I despise

I used to average 16000 miles a year on a motorbike, now I struggle to get 1500

Life can get in the way.......That's life, but we can always try and make time, get the family involved in the shooting scene!

dup post

tfox

As far as I remember some old guy showed me a way of using a feather and pushing it into the skull from the back acting almost as a deadbolt humane killer !!

Find when out with the lurchers that a quick karate chop to the back of the rabbits head works v well

Have had my fair share of pulled off heads too

If a dog bites you once, it's his fault.

If a dog bites you twice; it's your fault

I had to Dispatch a bunny yest taht had a head ache, i gave him a taop on the head and the pain went away

mallards

I seen a guy trying to dispatch a wounded goose once. He looked like he was trying to start a dumper truck by the handle!
I always use a priest and it never gives any problems.
