    Crow hunting in Ireland

    I went out about a month ago with a mate who had recently bought a Winchester SX4. It was a typical Irish day with sunny spells mixed in with heavy showers. The crows & ferals pigeons decoyed pretty steady in the morning but tailed off in the early afternoon.

    Ended up with a decent bag of birds despite some of the poor shooting and a new gun well christened.

    That looks like a or of fun.
    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

    No, I've never been brace enough to eat them. Those who have been brave enough to eat them have said they are really not nice.

    I always decoy with trap cartridges; so 7 1/2 28g. As long as the ranges are kept sensible these shells will do the job.
