Just wondering what people wingshoot or would like to wingshoot with their bows.
For those shooting pheasants, have they been on hunting club properties?
what about crows :rolleyes:
What about grouse?
Didn't mean to exclude those shooting at crows or grouse but was just curious about the most common targets. I wouldn't have guessed that people were trying to take grouse out of the air. Crows are fun, hard to hit, but a little too smart. I need dumber birds. ;)
Hunting for quail is a blast also. They are small and so fast but I always get a lot more shooting when hunting them.
How about chukar partridges?
I have done chukars. Most struggle with a shotgun let alone a bow. The terrain is generally extremely steep and rugged. Some places, shooting a flu flu would require going downhill 300 yards to pick up you arrow and then back up. I love hunting them and they are a big enough challenge for me with a shotgun. This year in idaho, bird counts are so low the after days and miles of hunting I got one shot with my bow. When you have to work that hard to find them, I want a pattern with back up shots.
If they are available, definately give them a try.
I am surprised that more people don't go or wouldn't like to go for duck over pheasant. Any reason why?
Go waterfowl hunters! Ok, maybe they don't taste as good as pheasants.
I have hunted geese in the past and I am preparing for some more action in the next few weeks. I have only taken a couple but I now have a disk thrower and I have been shooting regularly to get ready for the season and from last weeks scouting trip I am in for a lot of action.
I did not see the any thing that flyes button!!!!
Last season I hunted doves with a bow and discovered that hitting a 4 ounce target flying 40 mph is tough enough with a 12 ga. :scared:
Success for me was just "getting close". :D
Pheasants at a hunt club does sound like fun.
if your going to retrieve the ducks and geese yourself; by hand; well... that is doable.
But if your shooting broadheads at them;and using dogs-- you better have more dogs than arrows.
Oh and by the way; weight forward arrows can...sink.
My Gold Tip traditionals 7595 with 125gr tips float well. Now if they plunge into the water and stick into mud, that is a different story.
Thanks for participating
I wing shoot... air...I would like to be able to shoot small flying mammals, but I miss...alot.
