ianm 2,594 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Well our first shoot of the year went well. It was cold but dry and a bit of sun appeared. Bag was 122 head comprising of 57 duck 56 pheasant 7 partridge and 2 pigeon. My own contribution was 6 duck, 14 pheasants and 1 partridge. I used my AYA yeoman 12 bore and was accompanied by my black lab for the morning. Then at dinner i changed to my highlander 20 bore and had my young yellow lab with me, who proved to be steady with birds dropping all around her. 12 Quote Link to post
FOXHUNTER 5,021 Posted December 8, 2020 Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 Had a look out for some rabbits last night in the cold and wet , this ground is up near the fells and absolutely waterlogged. I have only lamped this ground once so was surprised at how skittish the rabbits were , maybe the keeper has been at them I squelched about and chipped away at the ones that sat a bit too long , testing shooting with the wind blowing me about on my sticks. Once my bag was full I headed back to the car to drop them off and proceeded to slip and land flat on my back in a load of mud.The rifle scope and torch were covered in shit . As I lay on my back covered in mud I questioned my sanity being out on a December night up in the hills on my own freezing and wet humping a heavy bag of rabbits about For some unknown reason I love it Ended up with 28 ...... 5 1 2 Quote Link to post
