Wingshooting What -- Poll

[oxnam]

Just wondering what people wingshoot or would like to wingshoot with their bows.

[oxnam]

For those shooting pheasants, have they been on hunting club properties?

what about crows   :rolleyes:

[Bill Tell]

What about grouse?

[oxnam]

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?

[oxnam]

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?

[oxnam]

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.      

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.

[Brian Krebs]

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
