Hi we have a large covey of Quail that live in the neighborhood. I get a shot at them from time to time. I hide behind our hot tube on our second story deck and get a 25+ yard shot. So far this year I am 0 for 14 shots.... :banghead:
Joe
PS In the last 3 big game seasons tho, I'm 8 animals with only 9 shots.. mule deer, white tail and an elk...
Well joe stay at it and I bet you get one.
Ha!! That sounds like my score with grouse!!! Good stuff Joe!!
A 12 ga. and some #8's will remedy that right now! :D
That's about my score with yard rabbits until the dumb one made a mistake. Now I only get 30 yds shots at the smart one and lately it's been a running shot.
Make'em wear little hats with antlers on them so you can focus better.
You're flock shooting. Pick a bird. :bigsmyl:
Try hiding IN the hot tub. It will make the misses more... relaxing... ;-)
Get one of those "Big" snaro bird loops......that will increase your odds!

That's awesome!! :biglaugh:
Pretty cool that you have quail to shoot at too. We have rabbits in places up here but no small game birds near by.
pick a feather ... :archer2:
Feel fortunate you can shoot in your 'hood. If I did that I'd have the s.w.a.t. team arriving shortly after my first shot. I gotta move...

Sounds like fun :)
You are wing shooting, right?
Killdeer :biglaugh:
Qual are tough targets.
AIM SMALL MISS SMALL.... ;)
Ur just practicing good game management:)
Perhaps it may be the enjoyment of the challenge which spurns you on.
Ya know, I've noticed that "small game" is much flightier (is that really a word??) than big game. Smaller critters have to watch out for attacks from air and land (hawks/owls and fox/coyotes). I've had best luck shooting up (me on the ground, them in a tree), as opposed to shooting down (from tree stands) or on the level (when we're both on the ground).
Well it seems obvious... You need to move the hot tub closer.
Tim I think you are right. :knothead: I need to move the hot tube... but then I'd have to move the whole house... I'll get on it tomorrow...
Joe
Don't move the hot tub, move the quail cover ... plant some quail cover around the hot tub and tell your wife it's landscaping!
sounds like the squirrels in my yard. they still run, but they laugh while doing it! :biglaugh:
Joe, 25 yards on Quail is no easy task. However, it sounds like you had a pretty good year in all. Keep trying. You'll need a few of those little fellas to make a nice meal.
You need to get back elk hunting??
Shoot where they "ain't "
Sounds like me and my geese... Early in the am now and then I go running out the french doors in my bath robe fling arrows at em as they fly over the shop.... makes my wife chuckle.
One of these days i'll get one.... Hang in there bro! :biglaugh:
