Bird busters work well.

If you can hit the target :). Spent several hours walking the sunflower patches flushing the birdies, probably about 40 to 50 missed opportunities (not by much though) then I finally connected ;D. A flush, a snap shot, a satisfying thump, and puff of feathers - now that's something to tell the grandkids about 8) ;D.

Thanks fallers ;D. Yeah, right madcrow - shoot enough for a meal? Pappy was right - hope you ain't hungry ;D. That was fun and I might actually try it some more, just cause -  but will most likely break out the modern huntin equip for a mess of em ;D.
 Actually, that's darn good practice for aiming small - deer better look out ;).

Thanks Ryan! Those red arra's with the flu-flu fletching really stand out in the weeds, don't think I could loose one if I tried - well prolly could, but they were easy to find :).

It certainly was John. I did a little victory dance out there in that field as soon as I realized what had just happened ;D.

Way to go Paul, nice to be able to go for a walk and get 40 or so shots in a short time :)

I wish partridge were so abundant :(
