Hi everyone!

I just wondering if anyone has any results to show from this last season?

Any stories or pics to show? :thumbs:

Personally all I have had was crows. The ducks and pheasants are so wild where I live. They are gone before you are within range.

The pheasants especially are difficult. The closest my dog has got was pull the tail feathers and get a kick in the face. :laugh:

Hi!

Has anybodies dog ever caught a pheasant or any other bird apart from cute songbirds? I am only new to hunting with lurchers and my dog has nearly caught a pheasant twice. He clipped the tail feathers of a cock pheasant when he flushed it.

I would love to hear the stories!

MINE HAD A FEW CANADA GEESE COUPLE OF KOOTS BUT HASN'T HAD PHEASANT yet!

My latest Kelpie bitch, now nine months old, caught a couple of wood pigeons but I have to admit that they'd been winged by the farmer first. She has a stronger hunting instinct than her half-sister and as a result I'm finding it harder to break her to the pheasants than I did with either of my other two. But I am trying; honest! :angel:

our pup has had 2 racing pigeons- the little b*****d jumped into the loft because the door had been left open, 1 had to be killed, the other he did yesterday and is alright.
