Crippled Birds

Neck ringer, but if my Springer gets the bird he will give it a squeeze if its lively, he got spurred pretty bad once.
 
I carry a small electric chair, one set of electrodes in each ear hole and the others around the feet,



Then I ring their neck :D
 
Lots of good input (and stories) guys. :thumbsup:

I've heard of guys using a knife to finish off waterfowl and I'm curious if anyone's ever used that method with ringnecks?
 
Thought they called 'em "ring necks" for a reason ;-) Dad steps on their head, I ring their necks. Always seems like the ones Dad deals with start jumping around in the back of the Tahoe leaving a bloody mess and upsetting our driver. Several frantic pleadings from our driver (Mom) "you guys get back here and take care of those birds! They're jumping all over"
Gotta keep the driver happy if you don't want to walk those ditches twice!!!
 
I tie them up on the nearest train tracks and wait...
:laugh:

Actually, hold them by the head and twirl them a couple times until I feel the neck break.

If you're talking about sticking the point of the knife right behind the head to sever the spine, I think it would be harder on upland birds. Waterfowl bills make a nice big handle to position the head correctly. Pheasants don't come with the same handle so you would probably get pecked or be more likely to stab yourself.

If it's another knife method, please describe. Thanks.
 
First, I'd have to find a Rooster; then I'd have to hit it. After that, "Wring around the Ringneck" if necessary.
 
Just a couple days age had one alive, had a folding knife handy, what the heck? cut it's throat. Hey! he died shortly. Usually I ring the neck, wack the head against a fence post, rock, tree whatever's handy.
Cooper will chase down a cripple and dispatch it with a couple chomps.:)

Yup. Was just curious if anyone's tried it with ringnecks.
 
I bring my female Jack Russell along, her sole purpose for being there is to dispatch crippled roosters.:D
