Woodcock Scent Dfficulty
BLACKBOB replied to welshboy454's topic in Driven, Walked Up, Rough Shooting
There may be something in this. The bird was lying front down but it may have tumbled off the rushes leaving the scent high. I watched carefully and although he knew the bird was there somewhere he could not zoom right in. Normally he has no trouble picking them up and retrieving but it is a spat out of the mouth delivery so maybe their taste is bitter. Theres definatly something in it as my ESS has no problem in finding them or retrieving them but this Saturday one was lightly shot and i went to look for it. Was shown approximate location and off i go. Took me a few minutes to find -
Was very good, difference in taste to each bird was marvelous. clear the plate lol i was stuffed and the dogs appreciated the left overs anyway Cheers bob

Respect to the quarry mmmmmmmmmmm

Take into account how hard they have been hit, a hard hit bird wont last as long as a lightly pricked bird. If i remember right i once read that a shot bird shouldnt be hung for more than 3 days, i never leave mine longer than that. It also affects the taste as the longer they hung the stronger the flavour and it becomes more gamey. Cheers bob

Well we have had our second mock trial and were joined by some outstanding old boys with their dogs, one being a trial judge so pressure was on to preform well, and living up to my usual standards it didn't start off to well Got there on time and it was a lovely crisp day, straight off to the first section and with only 2 guns to start there was alot to cover. Keeper shot with us last time but not this time as his guns had been seized but he wouldn't let on why after lots of ribbing. Got the drive underway and the first bird rose for me. lovely partridge, used both barrels to watch

Hi mate, its run by a few trialing people who do some training together, the gamekeeper didnt give them exactly what they wanted but it was their first time there, so further negotiations are required. Was an excellent day for me tho as a gun so i didnt complain. Cheers bob

I remember the odd dog that catches my attention on here, and yours was one of them, big line bred beddy grey if i remember right. Im bringing on a 6 month old pup (wheatongrey x colliegrey) and shes shaping up well, very interested in beddy lurchers though hence me remembering. Keep up the trialing pal, and let us all know how you get on next time. Same goes with the lurcher work. atb BH Yeah thats the one BH, will have to get up some new pictures soon, have to invest in a new camera. Will do a wright up on my next outing to let you know how it goes. Cheers bob

Real bad news that, wouldnt like to be in his shoes as i bet he is extreamly worried about whos hands they are in, was that all that was stolen? did they just target the guns? Cheers bob

Hi BH you got a good memory to remember that long ago lol, still runinng him and my patiance has paid off. He was a bloody slow starter, but as i knew his farther was also, i abided my time. Going to do alot more with him this season as last was a bit off a wash out for me due to personal circumstances. Had an invite to the next training trial last night for the 1st of December so looking forward to that. What you running now? You been out much of late? Cheers bob

Its been a while since ive been out with the gun and out of the blue came a phone call to see it i would be a gun on a unofficial gun dog trial on a shoot near Hereford. Six guys had organised a day in which to train their young and expirienced dogs on some partridge, pheasent and rabbit ground. After some long consideration of 5 seconds i agreed to come along and shoot for these dog men. It was after i put the phone down that i started to think about what i had just agreed to do, im not partial to shooting birds up the backside, i know how upset these guys can get if you miss the birds th
