HH vs pheasants

Very cold, windy and rainy weekend here and the shoot near me is in full swing so the birds are very easy to startle and flush by accident.

Managed a couple with my new HH 9.5mm steel generic natural.7 latex 25/20.

lovely bit of supper for later in the week.

cheers lads!

 

Yeah, you startled 'em alright..!

 

Boom! Nice one

 

I like that fork...

 

I used to shoot a basic wood version for a long time and finally picked this one up second hand off a lad on the hunting life forum. Its one of matt reddings HH cores, scaled with bog oak and brass pins and has rounded tips.

Matt was a big inspiration so its quite dear to me.

 

I would sure like to get my hands around one.

 

I’m interested in the game bag. Even though I’m a squirrel hunter I would like to know how to get one. Thanks in advance….Luke

 

I will trade you a bag, simular enough to be it's cousin, for a fork like the one in the pic.

 

@Slide-Easy ,I will look through my collection for one today after work.

 

ive had this so long i cant remember where i got it. I think it was originally meant for fly fishing.

 

Very pretty birds

 

I bet they would look prettier in a hot oven.

 

Quality shooting..

 

Thanks nico

 

@ger2020 was the birds delicious?
I learned reading this post the term “bog oak”. I looked it up and a lot of it isn’t too badly priced for being so old. I might try it sometime on a build.

 

Did you get a similar SS like posted yet?

 

No.

 

No.

 

they sure were, fried up in butter spices onion and bacon
