Shooting

Love the pics Tony - looks like a brilliant little shoot you're involved with.

Also enjoying all the talk about the gundogs - had a cracking day yesterday on my invite, but took a bit of a ribbing for missing a fantastic flush of birds as I was thoroughly enjoying watching a couple of the springers work a stream behind me...

Only got a couple of pics, I quite like this one with the view into the distance.

Not sure about it being little simon it's thousands and thousands of acres ,we got what I was told about 8 thousand acres
then you have stalkers coming on different days to shoot deer as you can see in some photo's the deer tower.
Bet you got some nice views on that shoot, going by the hills were you getting high birds coming over
bet you had to use number 5 32g or was it your standard number 6 30g.

Could watch them working dogs for hours, trained by whistle and hand command
they go through thick thorny brambles like knife through butter to find the pricked and dead birds.
certainly earn their keep.

Had our last shoot today before Christmas, 152 birds in the bag nice day all round
just didn't look right guns and beaters not wearing coats this time of year
weather has gone crazy this time last year was wearing thermals.

Lovely way to wrap up before Christmas.

Agreed about the weather! The keepers have certainly earnt their money this year if they've stopped the birds from wandering. I've seen two good frosts all season. TWO! And that's being at shoots four to six times a week since mid-October.

I'm hoping for a real cold snap - shooting up in Yorkshire on January 2nd and really hoping for a snowy day. My second of what will likely be just three days shooting this year. (Excepting a bit of walked-up). Love it when it snows on a shoot day (or, more accurately, the night before).

b

any joy on the walked up front? Am having a good season but its all driven, and i long to shoot something going away again!

Looking to boxing day for a pheasant shoot, and the one day we're allowed to ping the woodcock...!

[TonyN]

You sound like my son simon loves to see snow this time of year.
Being colder last year there was more woodcock being shot compared to this year
realy hard work for the beaters this year on woodcock days trying to find and flush them
got a woodcock let day on the 28 December.

Snow + shooting = heaven. The big kid in me loves snow. And i kinda feel shooting should be done in the cold. I'd settle for a heavy frost, but snow is the best!

[TonyN]

Got to agree with you there emaresee in what you said
the weather today and the clothing guns and beaters had on just didn't look normal.
