As a handler of dogs, I have seen oh so many Kansas ditch parrots shot in the fundament and the proverbial poof of colourful feathers. The >>raking shot<< as referred to by Elmer Keith in a rifle sense is a difficult shot to make even on large game. But on the Kansas ditch parrots, if you shoot low & clip their landing gear & if you have a Gun Dog, you will have him in your bag. Too, as a side-note, if you have a lanyard around your neck with anything dog related, you are considered in the hunt & require a hunting license.
Cheers,
