You can just hold it's head and swing the bird around in a small circular motion. Breaks the neck easily in one swift action without causing a big scene.

Wht are you using on the dogs for ticks?re: ticks
My dogs pick up a TON of ticks -- their fur is teaming with them by the time we make it back to the truck. The pups have been treated & immunized, but I would like it if the ticks didn't prefer to hitch a ride. I wear long sleeves at all times, and use DEET, and still have to pull one or two off now and then. I've already gotten LD once, ignoring what seemed like a small scab from a mosquito bite. Now I'm paranoid about it.
We at not shooting over a dog. Just going to go out and try to kick them up ourselves.
Thank you all for the advice on how to break the neck, I was always wondering what to do if it is still alive after you shoot it.
Now with birds do you dress or bleed them in the field?
