I’ve never done it myself but my mate has and said it’s the ultimate walked up shooting, I think he did ptarmigan and hare on the same shoot, he did it with George goldsmith sporting, I know it wasn’t cheap but it’s a once in a lifetime thing, twice if you are loaded ?
-
Cracking job, maybe there will still be some trifle left for you when you get home ?
-
We’ll see how it goes on the next one, if it shoots ok we might squeeze another day in before the end of the season ?, we bumped a couple of foxes yesterday so we’ll let them be until we have finished because they are clearing up the birds not picked, so if you are up for it we’ll have a late one early February see if we can cover a bit more ground than usual
-
If it’s the first time he has done driven birds he will love it, I still really enjoy birds pushed out of woodland because you are never sure where they will come out and as long as they are above the trees that’s high enough for me ?
-
Good luck fella, that looks a nice field of view ?
-
It was a top day, all the kids got some good shooting and as a bit of a bonus the beaters that wanted to have a go also got a stand and we beat for them and I can’t complain about the birds they put over me ?
-
Another day on the shoot and what a lovely day it was, it would of been nice if 8 of the guns that didn’t turn up had of let us know but we made the best of what we had, we managed 38 and 2 woodcock, not bad for 5 a side and only half the beaters ?
-
I’d like to take this opportunity to dedicate my days shooting to Chris Packham CBE, you have been an inspiration to me to carry on championing the sport I love, best wishes, Stav ??
-
Recognised in the New Years honours, what a f*cking joke, bit hypocritical of him to accept it from a family who have a long history in country sports, id like to dedicate every pheasant I drop out of the sky today to this biggest of tw*ts?
-
Another nice walk out, good going on the snipe, I’ve never connected with a snipe, they are to quick for me ?
-
I love the excitement of partridge shooting but given the option I think I’d take duck shooting over anything else I do with the shotgun, I’ve not done a lot of duck shooting but on an old brick pit I’ve had a couple of invites on I couldn’t believe how fast they come in and they seem to come from nowhere, to top it of they are bloody tasty ?
-
We have still got plenty hanging around the shoot, we are still doing 50/60 bird days and this time of year on our small shoot is good going, locally on my mooching fields the pheasant have dried up but the partridge are still about
-
That’s a big old boy ( the fox I mean ? ) it’s nice to see someone getting out and about, I’m still grounded only allowed out for visiting accompanied by the wife in case I make a break for it, still I’m released from my festive sentence tomorrow, so pigeon shooting it is ?
-
A lovely way to spend this most festive of days, you don’t see many of them vicious little buggers up this way but when we do it’s nice for them to end up like that one ?
-
Merry Christmas chaps, hope you all have a good one, I’m the only one who doesn’t do Christmas in our house so it can make for an interesting day ?
-
Fantastic, great to see you up and about ?
-
I’d have a guess at about £600, very nice shotgun -
I went up to the shoot this morning to take our landlady some flowers and a Christmas card up as a little thank you for all the shooting she allows me to do up there, so after 30 mins or so of listening to all her ailments and chatting about the weather and this and that I decided to have a little wander chuckling a bit of wheat about as I went, there’s still a lot of birds about in some drives and around the farm although they were looking a bit damp and sorry for themselves I think we could make a good day of it in a weeks time, only 3 shoot days left now, the season seems to go quicker each
-
A few days rest is in order I think mate, the foxes will still be there when you are right ive just got in after a walk around the sheep farm with longshanx and was saying to him that I’ve not heard any calling on the farms or the shoot yet, but plenty where I live over the past few weeks, we only seen one tonight ( not on my land ) and it showed no interest in the call, this wasn’t helped by the clear sky, moon and that it was completely still, I think it’s time to give the digital caller an outing to see if I can get one or two to call back ??
-
All it is is trespassing and that’s a civil matter not a criminal one, to be honest I don’t think he’ll be there next season they have done no better than us so far this season and put a lot more birds down than we do, we have been shooting a good few of there birds the last couple of times we have shot, a big field of rape on the boundary has helped a lot with this, we tend to push the rape from the boundary up to the edge of our wood where the guns are lined out after lunch giving the birds time to make there way into the rape in the morning ready for the afternoon drive
-
Take it steady fella ?
-
Ha ha, that couldn’t look anymore photo shopped if they tried, my nephew could do a better job with his scissors and prit stick ?
-
All the best for the op, I would recommend a small bell as you take it easy during your recovery don’t lift a finger until you feel ready to, also large amounts of tea and Christmas treats will help your speedy recovery your a brave man to be out in this, I’m at a place called Bowes Moor now and it’s wild, even the sheep are hid behind a wall and these are proper hard northern sheep?

Nice work, it’s the time to be at them now all the ewes are been taken in ready for lambing, I’ll be out on the farm over Christmas hoping to take a few ?
