Pigeons With A .177 And A Gundog

[Zimpara 99]

Went out and set some decoys up in the corner of the field and paced out the likely trees at the same time

 

20metres and 40metres. Walked back to the kennel, grabbed a dog and my falcon prairie and walked back, went into the conifers one end and sat the dog up, walked down inside, lay down and crawled to the end and saw a pigeon in the 20metre tree. popped him with a cracking headshot.

Called the dog up to heel and sent her, over Two fences and a load of shrub and thats first one in the bag.

 

Moved the decoys to behind a building near the house to get the pigesons to hit some tall oak trees, (20metres)and sat in the kennel waiting. Got bored and went for a wonder. Disturbed one who then flew up into the oaks. So I moved around and took a good shot to the heart, not instantly dead but it was down. Head was obscured. I sent the dog and went around to help with the looking thinking it might be hung up. We searched for 10minutes disturbing 4pigeons in the oaks that I hadn't seen and couldn't find it. Eventually knowing it was definitely down i looked over the hedge, low and behold there was the pig in a puff of feathers 5metres deep in the farmers field. So I sent the dog. Got it. And took a pic ;-) enjoy

well done to man & dog -cant beat the satisfaction of dog sitting waiting for you to drop something then sending it out to retrieve it -all hard work pays off in the end
