FOXHUNTER 5,020 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The weather was glorious yesterday, so me and David went for a walk around his ground . David had just bought a new .410 so he took it with him to get used to it. We had some cracking shooting with his terrier pushing the game out of hedgerows. Jack retrieving a duck from the pond. David managed to shoot a fox with his .410 , just as well as the poor critter was in a bad way , it had a broken front leg and was so skinny its back was razor sharp , no flesh on it at all Half time................. We then watched the local hunt for a while , they were in full cry . The fox crossed the field in front of us well in front of the hounds , they were about 2 fields back. We then continued for another little walkabout. Thanks David , had a great days shooting , cant beat a nice mixed bag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hily 379 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 good bag lots of good food for the freezer terrier must be a good strong swimmer to be able to push the duck through the water and then tackle the bank to bring it to hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Kelly 0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 good shooting and nice terrier. I wish we had that amount of game where I live. I would never shoot a hare though. Good luck. Joe Kelly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yorksjt 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 You must have an understanding Mrs, it would be me laid out if I bought dead birds in to the kitchen. Nice shooting though, you can't beat days like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paddywoodcock 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Out with a friend near Limerick this week-end. My first time out for the woodcock this year in Ireland. It is early in the season and the birds are tired after the migration so we went out an hour only saturday and same sunday, it was more for the dogs than for ourselves. On saturday we took the springer spaniel with us. We were looking for birds into deep bushes. I took a clean shot on the first woodcock and almost had a chance to take a second one but the second was not flying high enough to shoot. The dog was a bit too excited and I saw few snipes but never had a chance to take one. We had a good time and were lucky to meet birds anyway. On Sunday we went up on the hill for the snipes. We took the springer and the labrador together. I missed a good chance on a woodcock... not a difficult shot but the bird surprised me and I took the shot too quickly just before it disappeared. We continued for snipes and the dogs flushed about a dozen altogether. I shot one and missed another. On the way back the labrador flushed 2 mallards on a small lake, I shot the first and didn't try the second because it was quite a long distance. My friend just missed a pigeon, he wanted me to shoot has he really has the opportunity to shoot everyday. It was really great and I can't wait to go out again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nice terriers too, it must be quite difficult to shoot small game with a 410 because of its tight pattern so well done Edited November 30, 2008 by kobidog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
