    Would sort out the slow ones I suppose.
    You could go down to the local bridge one night and string a net up and spook a few out.

    Don't need them till maybe October but would like to find a supply.

    I will work something out hopefully.
    Might be a good job for someones kid catching them for me at 5 bucks a bird

    Yeah might have to find something like that to get a few.

    Would happily buy some but just can't find anywhere to get them.

    Once you get some ,I got a release trap here somewhere if you want to borrow it . Nothing flash ,have to pull a long string to release but works fine .

    Thanks for the offer mate but I have sourced a couple off another helpful forum member. They are remote ones so if alone I will be able to work them easier, especially when I need to shoot.

    Can't find my pictures @berg243 .

    This one from e-bay (not sure if any good):

    Used to have the sticks tied up (2 stayed down on middle) for a few days and feeding them in there than set it to catch.

    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.
