Me &troy

[ftm 3,357]

decided to visit local farm after my tea and Troy invited himself along by jumping into motor when I put rifle in I pulled into yard and a woody landed on the arms of the tractor sprayer, I thought as soon as I get out of car it will be off so just opened door and acted as normal as I could [im not normal ] lol managed to slip gun from bag and cocked it and turned around to see woody sitting without a care in the world. crosshairs placed on its head and pellet sent on a mission it fell off into the bay and troy had been watching all this time , backhatch opened and troy was onto it in seconds and back in my hand in no time . farm hand had witnessed it and came over for a chat and as we talking a magpie landed on the concrete wall that separates the crop produce [wheat corn etc] and I bloody miss it lol [maybe im normal afterall ] I walked up to back of farm and jackdaws were feeding aroung muck heap and troy told to stay I crept up to about 30yds and resting gun on an old hay bale I picked my target and dropped it stone dead sending others up in air only to see a few land right back down next to dead one ,I shot 2 more in very quick succession before the rest sussed out what was going on and they were off -troy hadn't moved an inch and with a peep of the whistle I sent him out to retrieve them and all birds back in front of me in no time -good dog gets a pat and we walk back to motor and I called it a day

Nice going mate im always wary about the spaniel reviving black stuff with that dagger like beak

troy has sussed out how to stay clear of the beak but even when they peck him he doesn't get phased
