We are lucky that we have a few coveys on our place , lovely to see. I know a lot dont shoot them but it doesn't harm to take the odd one ?
-
Well decent weather today for a change , but we only had 5 guns and 2 beaters. So we mainly walked and did as best we could. Lots of birds flushed that weren't shot at as we were so thinly spread. I had a decent drive on the quarry shooting 5 ducks and a partridge ? Still plenty birds for Boxing Day just hope we have a few more guns .

Heaviest I've had was 23.5 lb

I wouldn't hold your breath mate the way its going. National lockdown after Christmas so that's the rest of the season knackered. 2021 will continue like 2020 I suspect. It will take a long time to get everyone vaccinated before things will improve.

Aye we're shooting tomorrow and Boxing day then it just depends on lockdowns. 2021 is going to be dire too I think , dont think we will bother releasing birds next year.

Or free to a good home just to get rid ?

+1 cant see why not after all domestic geese are just descendants of greylags.

No mate that was a National Trust site where the new manager replaced me with his son ? This is just a farm I have shot for nearly 30 years now ?

Popped out on the squirrels again to the same farm as the other day as saw a few I didnt get. I was hoping for 3 or 4 so was well chuffed with 9 and a bonus pheasant ? Still saw a few more so another trip will be on the cards ?

Too right , undertakers will be busy ?

Wrong way round mate , they are browsers ?

You're right Stav , once all the idiots have finished with their Christmas spreading of the virus we will go back into lockdown in January and that's the season over ?

I had a look out last night to a sheep farm that I've only been to once this year and normal service was resumed , saw nothing ?

What a fantastic day you had , I too would much prefer a day like that than a driven day. ? -
The hunt around us are probably the worst in the country , couldn't catch cold. Most farmers are not on their side and would rather the foxes be shot , saving damaged fences , churned up fields etc.....

I use 32g 6s too , but your kills looked very clean , maybe just good shooting ?

RHD does far more damage than any rifleman ?

Great shooting Dave , some cracking kills. What cartridges are you using ?

Popped out this afternoon to try for squirrels as I've only had 3 this year ? There was a few out today and I shot really well , taking 3 at a good 50 yds ? I then shot a few woodies coming in to roost , very testing in the wind. On dusk heading back to the car a cracking cock pheasant lifted , a good 50 yard crosser , swung right through and folded it , made my day. On coming to the edge of this field there was a big splash after all the rain we've had and 2 mallard lifted so I stood by a tree and slipped in steel cartridges hoping some more might flight in. My lucky day as 2 came in and I dr
