Des O'Neile 6 Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Fred (Ian) Whiteside used to organise walked up days in and around Fintona/Seskinore. £40 a day/ limitless bag. One Saturday morning this mob The late John McClelland,Ian Whiteside, Raymond McKee, Kenny Menown, Des O'Neile, Mark Patterson and the photographer Nicholas Patterson had a day booked. We went to a spot on the Omagh/ Dromore road. A bit of bog and a spread out planting of beech trees, maybe fifteen feet high, branches bare and a carpet of leaves covering maybe fifteen acres. I had Danny, Irish Setter, and Ian a springer spaniel. We only had a half an hour as we had lunch booked in a nearby pub. In that half hour I fired seven cases for six woodcock and a snipe. I can't remember the total bag other than Raymond didn't burn powder that day but the total bag was high, in numbers and variety. 2 Quote Link to post
