mark williams 7,549 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Lovely walk about this afternoon with the Beretta 687 sport and my GSP. My best mate lifted one covey of partridges, a couple of pheasants and a single hare. I took no shots lads, as i am trying to promote the game numbers but not one vermin presentation, - a good thing when you think about it i suppose. Great walk about all the same. atb Mark. 7 Quote Link to post
Underdog 2,337 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Was they grey partridges? Not seen a grey for decades! I did hear one about three years ago but that's all. Quote Link to post

Hi Nathan, Yes Grey partridges mate, i have 10 birds about the permission and i`m trying to help them as best i can by shooting any corvids i come across. Partridge numbers are poor all over the country, so they need as much help as we can give them. atb Mark. 2 1 Quote Link to post
Deker 3,453 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 The Greys are Flippin' rare around these parts, its all the Red leg. Quote Link to post
Baldcoot 2,352 Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 We put 40 down last season and boy are they very very good at not being shot at .I think they have a Klingon cloaking device or somesuch stealth technology .But most important of all Mark you were out there 3 Quote Link to post

Buzzards are the biggest threat to greys in Norfolk,there everywhere and you just don't see covey's out in the open fields and more there in the woods or under the hedge rows. Quote Link to post
Born Hunter 17,638 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Always had reasonable population of Englishmen on our patch. And we release a few hundred each year too, though I'm not sure how beneficial they are to the wild stock. GWCT research suggests released greys are shit at reproducing. But they provide a shootable stock at least. French just don't interest me at all. Quote Link to post
