Up at the shoot at first light on an early February morning just as the season had ended, on my own just surrounded by nature, there’s nowhere else I would rather have been

Me all tarted up for my first ever shoot day, thanks to Stav inviting me along and was hooked straight away. November 18.

Needless to say I purchased a shotgun not long after December 18.

I invited my nephew along to the shoot for his first beating day and he loved every second. Mosh stood with him on the peg down from me, I let a pheasant pass as it was going in Toms direction and I shouted, then the bang came. Needless to say he missed. (must run in the family ). One happy uncle especially when he turned and said "I want a shotgun " and "can I come again?" January 20

A few times we were out just having a walk around a couple of farms, most of the time this was just to check places out to see how we would tackle them on a night, but it was always fun to take the shotgun along for a few bangs

Au contraire SD, that dastardly swine that stole your dog strongly resembles a ferret looking through a Brillo pad in that beard.

A little bit different and not strictly shooting as such, but me and my mate made a flight pond for someone who has to much money, it’s a big old splash with an island in the middle with a depth of half a meter at the edge to 1.5 meters towards the middle, we poured a retaining wall all the way round to get a true level, as you can see the gaffer from the concrete company kept a good eye on us, we did this maybe 4 years ago and have never been invited to shoot it, miserable buggers

Just before the lockdown, this was my day self isolating, ended up rolling over 3 rabbits and 3 pigeons. Missed a few crows that day, I'm sure the feckers have in build heat seeking.

Ferreting with a lad off here who messaged me asking if I had anywhere he could have a go, we only went once but it was something I hadn’t done for a long time and I really enjoyed our morning out

A couple of Christmas shoots, one of the old boys ( Jim ) dressed as Santa really is a disturbing image

My best ever day at our shoot, 2018/2019 season,I had a stand on two of the main drives and shot 15, if you ever see me with a shotgun you would wonder how this was possible, I know I did
