ROB.BOB 21 Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Yesterday I came back from college for the weekend and decided to take my first walk with my dog (10 month lab) AND the gun. Walking the stubble field, I let him get ahead then i fired a shot and threw a dummy, he looked a bit confused then saw the dummy and i sent him for it. He retrieved it nicely to me, we walked on and he hunted the verges. Then a partridge shot up and over the dyke next to me. i mounted the gun, hesitated to check it was a safe shot, BANG the partridge folded and i wet myself with excitement and joy. Because it was over a wall i left the dog and picked it myself, to my horror it was a Grey Partridge i was so sure it was a red leg! :realmad: either way for my first game bird I’ve ever shot i think it was quite a good way to start my gamebook, even if i couldn't decide to be overjoyed at my first shot or furious about my monumental cock up! So i lay it in the stubble and let the dog retrieve it, having it for supper tonight. I’ll try and get the pics up. cheers Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
