bird hunting

[bornagainbowhunter]

Hey guys, I just got an opportunity to go bird hunting this fall.  I was told that there would be opportunities for chucker and phesant.  Sounds like it will be alot of fun.  

I will be bowhunting.  The question I have is what type of head wold you use to shoot birds.  They will be on the wing.  I have seen the heads with wire loops and all sorts of things, but have never hunted these types of birds.  

What would you fellars say?

i use judos tried broadheads but they tended to bury and were harder to find zwickey mackes the judo and a little bigger one called the condor ive never tried those either but the look like they would help good luck with your hunt its awesome just remember aim small miss small

I used Broadheads for pheasant this past winter and think the small snaro might work better at knocking down the bird, unless it is a head shot or centers the chest cavity probably won't kill it right away. Pretty hard to center a small pheasant with a broadhead for a quick kill when it's not moving much less when it is flying.I also know some dog owners get real nervous about broadheads which I can understand.

On a smaller bird I would definitely use a bigger head like a snaro. I think any small game head would work for all the birds, but your margin for erro goes way down from a big head like a snaro...3rivers has them in 2, 3 or 6"  The 2" looks interesting for something pheasant sized, but haven't tried it yet.

Iv also heard  of the broadhead being a bad idea if your hunting over dogs.......no personal experiance but it sounds like its good coman sense.

I like Ace's hexhead bunny busters for pheasant. They basically cut a hex-hole in whatever you shoot.  Plus, I feel alot better about them with my dogs around.  I stitch them up enough already!

Snaros will bring pheasants down too, but they can be a pain in the butt to carry afield.
