    Excellent. I am interested to know whether you eat the peafowl and if so what they are like. Had four peacocks up the back of my place just a couple of days ago. they come over from a neighbouring property where there are a lot of them.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    .

    Peafowl are the same as pheasant to eat... 'great' needs a sauce though.... White meat with a tendency toward dryness when cooked.

    My last lot went into salami... along with... goose, paradise duck, and swan, We get a lot of the above and most people will waste them if you are not careful.

    Best salami yet...the above and 1 leg of venison, 1 leg of pork, and 1 leg of mutton.

    Greatest gamebird in New Zealand. We used to run safari hunts for them in the BOP. There are thousands of them in the hills where I used to live.

    When they have been hunted hard they get cunning. You can creep up to the brow of the hill and stick one eye over the top and see 30 to 50 birds running for their lives. Once you get a few hunters in the field working from different directions the birds go to ground and can be flushed individually by a good dog. They will sit so tight in cover that the dogs will sometimes end up with a mouth full of feathers.

    Interesting...for their size they are hard birds to hit...They fly incredibly fast but because the cock bird is 7,1/2 feet long no one shooting them for the first time ever manages to figure the correct lead. They just dont look fast. I put a big cock bird down a gully once where there were five guns waiting either side of the gully. Each shooter in turn blew tail feathers out of the bird. These were a bunch of American bird shooters that had travelled the world and shot just about every gamebird on the planet.

    I said, what's up?? why didnt you bring it down?? One Ameirican said..I was expecting a bird not a damned B52.

    Any shot from behind usually fails because of the huge padding of tail feathers...You want to see the sise of the Pope's nose on the bird.

    Just keeping my eye in, and keeping on top of the bunnies & hares at some farms I have the priviledge to shoot on. It's not much but it's regular enough plus I get to spend the time with my 13yr old son.
