    Well guys don't quote me on the "any month that has an R in it" thing. I found that on the internet, on my phone, while in the field. It seemed to make sense to me but then I counted out the months that that means you'd only be able to eat turkey 4 months in the year, which has to be bollocks.

    Better do some more research when I'm at home tonight. I'm not going back for him, he's in the offal hole. Couple of his mates got away however so I might take the 12G along next time and see if I can find another one to try.

    Or you could find where they roost and go out at night with the hedge clippers.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    The hedge clippers work well Toby. Sneak up on them while they are asleep. Whistle loudly. They obligingly stick their head up and nek minnut! Personal experience from the late 70's / early 80's in the Papakura / Clevedon area.

    I literally dream nearly everyday of what I will do when I can walk properly. lucky duck shooting doesn't require much walking.
