Thread: the best quail hunting in the south

these rakaia quail are still making a mug of me the crossing angled shot is my nemesis they came one after the other 5/6 ina row and i missed them all inside 20/25 metres
to top it off the dog pointed and flushed the biggest nth canterbury pheasant iv,e seen for a while

are you lifting your cheek from the stock,common problem when shooting over broom on riverbed,keep that gun moving,don't stop on trigger pull.remember angle and lead change rapidly on a crosser,especially if shooting close.

dont think so im only getting one shot per bird as the drop in to the broom over banks or higher scrub
its the angle thats stuffin me. left to right should be a lolly for me but its crossing with like 30 t0 45 degree angle away and by the time the angle brings them briefly tail on theyre behind or over something
