make sure your very well cammoed up as if the pigeons dont notice you im sure those pesky old crows will,they have superb eye sight and dotn half make a row once theyve spotted you. get to yoru shoot and hide up about a half hour before the birds start to come in at least and shove a few odd decoys in the trees just on the branches so they look like as lifelike as possible.apart from that i cannot help you any more but im sure somebody else will give you an input shortly
:) regards jamie |

Just like supersharpshooter says, m8. Get Camo'd up & also cover your face & bare hands. If you "lie-low" just a bit before dusk, I hide in a Holly covered bush where I shoot, Woody's will come to roost in the "sitty" trees, ive had em roosting 10yards vertical above my head!! :lol: Move like a ghost & raise your gun very steadily (practice your steep angle shooting is my advice). Also, clear away any dry leaves or twigs underfoot from where you sit in waiting, a snapped twig will send em all packing!! :o |

You can fry the breasts, no problem. Might find them a bit tough. Alternatively, they roast well. Keep it/them for a couple of days after shooting, a bit like you 'hang' a Pheasant. This should tenderise it. Pluck & gut it, chop an apple, dont bother peeling, into 10mm cubes. Mix apple cubes with PLENTY of butter, 2-3 tablespoons, all game birds are naturally low fat & dry, very healthy to eat!! This buttery mix will ensure woody doesn't dry out. Stuff bird with the buttery mix, wrap in aluminium baking foil & bake in a medium oven for 50-60 minutes. Carve off the breast & serve with veggies, delicious m8 ;) |

as it goes ive not tried one but im very willing to try the next one i get as aparently they are very nice,ive heard the best way to eat this is to put a stick through them and chuck em on the bbq so they come out like kebabs :) ive also heard they taste very good in stew also though and for stew i think you follow pretty much the same kind of recipe you would for rabit |
