Thread: peacock hunting

Yeah Mate of my old man had a small dairy farm on the flats up there with a run-of up in the hills. Spent a fair amount of time chasing both up there. Those G-fowl are a real challenge and very under rated as a sport bird IMO.

I have between one and two dozen here
they have never come across as smart
worst mothers ever, lay eggs in terrible spots and if they sit on them its a miracle

mine would be deemed as feral as they were released here like a pheasant but honestly Id say my dog would be able to catch them they are so stupid
iv had to call her off many times and shes a decrepit old springer spaniel
they often sit and squark when disturbed and run only short distances. before she went deaf the g-foul squark was like sirens calling her like sailors to the rocks

peacocks are pretty impressive with their lookout ability and the communication between them once one spots you
