Kinda what I'm doing now....can't move from this phone, and I'm just waiting on a call....board so thought I's share in this fun I had Monday afternoon...
Just wandering around my grandfathers house waiting for the gas man to show up and fill up the propane tank...wandered by shop n tractor barn and what do I see....a host of boring bumblbees....
Yep, made me wish I'd had my bad-mitten racket that I use on them at the house .....when it dawned on me.....I got a bow, flu flus, and a Clark's head in my car. I didn't get to go this weekend and test out the head on chukar, so here's my redemption...
What a blast this was, most shots were from 5 to 8 yards....not going to tell ya how many I hit cause you probably wouldn't believe me anyway, but will show you the ones that I found, or at least the parts that I was able to find....Some had the head missing, and other's the abdomen....and one had both missing as I only found the thorax.
Hitting a bumble bee is much easier than finding it afterward...a large majority are never seen again cause you have no idea where they went....just a 'pot' and a vanishing act...
As good at it worked on bees.....gotta figure it would work great on birds of the smaller variety... and seems to be a very durable head cause it got shot into the ground a lot as some of the bees dove from fighting, and they made great targets buzzing low about a foot off the ground trying to re-group...and those were a bit easier to find.
Flu Flu shooting is just too much fun.....been a long time since I felt like a kid at Granddad's house....but at 47, I might as well have been 12 again cause that's how I felt.
If ya don't have flu flus....you are missing out on some of the simple fun.
