The boy uses his CZ 17 hornet k. Just hit them it wont do much damage either way. I did one with my 6mm 80 gr. Good thing there is not meat on ours anyway...  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Can't use a rifle for winged game here. I agree with that. ------------- Irish Bird Dog NRA Life/Endowment 2nd Amendment Supporter |

We can shoot turkeys out of the trees too. We shoot mountain grouse with long and short arms also. Feathers don't mean much. ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

.22 Magnum is legal here. I think that would be a good choice. Wing master ------------- I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on. |
