Rough shooting

[Stabs 3]

Went out for a walk with the shotty this morning and managed a few birds

 

This one arrived back missing it's back end

 

A collards indifference to me was it's undoing, although it got stuck in a conifer on it's way down

 

 

It did eventually make it to the bottom though

 

 

Another woody. My attempt at an arty shot failed miserably on the stubble as you can't even see the f*****g pigeon

 

 

Five Canadas flew over as I was on the way back to the motor.

 

 

Only three made it away though.

 

And finally this woody on another bit of stubble

Excellent post Grouty . You can't beat the unpredictability of a "walk up". I see it's still summer down your way. I walked out with the Terrier yesterday morning but without the gun and it was like walking into Noahs feckin' ark! Game everywhere. Pigeon feeding on elderberry with squirrels joining them...geese flying to graze on nearby pasture...my lad took a line and out popped charlie boy about 100 yds in front and quickly disappeared again into a blackthorn hedge! The odd bunny or two. I returned naively last evening with the gun and shot feck all! I'm due a Canada cull. Lovely photos mate.

There was not many shots on yesterday to be honest, despite the number of birds about. Most of the birds were dropping out of high hedges and flying away at head height which meant I couldn't take the shot as there's no telling what was behind the hedges.

 

I nearly killed the old dog with the second goose though as it came to ground like a f*****g meteor! :11: He just got out of the way :11: :11: :11:

No lessons mate, just 500 cartridges worth of practice in the field I'm not too bad now like and I've almost been convinced that the barrels on that gun aren't bent :11: but I'm sure they are at times

 

As for the rest, my man (BP) came down and he reckons we are laughing but who knows mate. Could be a different story when the shit hits the fan. It's a waiting game now though, so as soon as I hear anything I'll let you know mate.
