jack68 628 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 That's good going but have you not set a bench mark for next year, or you got better guns this year..atb Quote Link to post
Lab 10,979 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 You've broke the record and your not shooting January? Who was the last f*****g keeper?? 2 Quote Link to post
pro keeper 111 Posted December 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 The standard of shooting is poor at best we have 2 novices this year we talking 6 to 1 on flat ground ! should of had 10 guns per shoot day but had only 8 most times, lost 2 main covers early on so not worth shooting not because no birds but couldnt get round them, pens flooded out, things can only get better i would like to think, its been hard going this year for most.

Who was the last f*****g keeper?? i dont really want to comment on the last keeper, but they never set dates after the 27th because of no birds, i have totally changed things around we dont even shoot any of last years drives, i moved every game cover and its paid off, hand fed too. dogged in lots and stopped the birds being nicked by the next door shoot Quote Link to post

Its been the toughest year I can remeber in that regards. Alot of birds died of hypothermia and i doubt many wild broods made it between that and many cover crops failing. Quote Link to post
