birds

If it walks, swims, crawls or flies, there is probably a hunting season for it.  If a species has been slaughtered to near extinction, then it will be raised on ranches where Bubbas pay a shit-load of money to shoot it in a cage.

The links to the left will take you to specific tactics designed for each species.  If tactics are the same for several animals, then they are lumped together (e.g. "water fowl" includes duck, geese, swan, etc).  If many subspecies exist for a particular animal, we will attempt to have information regarding those subspecies available.  Where possible, links have been provided for further education. The pages linked are from the hunters, themselves.

Special Note: A saxophone mouth piece is, quite possibly, the most effective anti-bird call ever devised. The squawk produced by these little plastic gems can often be louder than a gunshot. Cheap versions can be purchased for under $20, and plastic reeds are now available that are more durable in the woods.  We currently recommend the Tenor or Baritone mouthpiece, though an alto or soprano will work. Reed hardness is not that important, but a med-hard or #3 may more easily produce sound.

Hunt saboteurs have been sabotaging the shooting of birds (and other creatures) for sport since sabbing began in the sixties.  Hunt saboteurs do not believe that, because a bird is not cute and cuddly like a fox or hare, its life is worth any less.  Shooters and gamekeepers kill more wildlife than all foxhunts, hare hunts, mink hunts, stag hunts and hare coursers put together.  The argument that "at least the birds get eaten" is pathetic—you might as well say that wearing fur is okay because it keeps you warm!
