First time out on new shoot.


Recommended Posts

Hi, folks.

 

Just as well I can't post pics yet, as there's sod all to post....

 

There's two parts to my new shoot, one a small ornamental garden about 40 yards long by 30 wide. The other a field about 150 long by 100 wide with the wood at the end that I'm waiting to see if I can shoot in.

 

I left my mate Paul in the garden with my Lightning that he's got on pretty permanent loan to deal with whatever may show and I got myself set up in the field close to the edge of the wood where there were loads of tracks leading out into the field.

 

For the whole three hours I waited, I was watching bunnies playing in the fields beyond my shoot's boundry's. Happy as feck they were but not a single one presented a legal shot. It's well out the way, this little spot and the guy who owns the wood also owns these fields. I really hope he says 'yes' 'cos there must be a good couple of hundred acre's he's in charge of. (Note to God.... I'll be a good boy, just please let this fella say YES!!).

 

I headed back to where Paul was and at least he'd managed bag a magpie, so all was not lost.

 

Me and Paul both needed to pick our kids up from school, so we needed to head back by 2.

 

Shakey start but it'll get there. Luck of the draw and all that.

 

Cheers. :thumbs:

Thanks, Shay.

 

That's the first time I've tried to do a 'report', so to speak. I've always kept myself to myself so far, happy to help folks with advice where I can give it but never really bothered with this kind of stuff.

 

Tony's offered his help so as I can post pics and I've taken a few over the last few weeks with a view to shareing some of my shooting with the good folks of this forum.

 

I'm rubbish with technology!!! :icon_redface:

 

Cheers, mate. :thumbs:

SPA for that fantastic line

 

Here's another for any veggies that may be 'watching'....

 

If God didn't want us to eat animals, why did he-she (delete as aplicable...) make their insides taste so good........

 

Yummy, Cheers! :thumbs:
