my first snipe

[conor 7]

hello lads went for a walk about this evening with my gsp cleo, walked a good bit of bog land, cleo didnt seem too interested in much, nothing stirring at all apart from 4 mallard that flew overhead, out of range of the 36g of 7s i had in. i went thru a small hazel wood next, deer tracks all over the place, dog also found a good few fox droppings. just out of the wood her mood changed and she ment business, then up goes her front paw and tail rock solid, its nearly cheating a little! i give command to move forward and up pops the snipe! the speed of them is something else, got a single shot off at around 40yds. flew a further 20yds and dropped, first snipe for me also first shot over my eleven month old gsp. both of us went home happy
