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

It had made it through the barrage of shots over the season and I like to think that was it’s victory fly by

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

Look at this handsome fellow. And what's he doing with my dog!

 

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
