comanche 2,820 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 used to beat on shoot at brantingham east yorks was nevera shooting man so used to have days hare coursing instead of the pheasant/pidgeon shooting Had an invite to a friend's Keepers,Beaters and friends day today. Jolly good fun had by all .Because a few of the Beaters were relatively inexperienced at standing on a peg the "no Ground Game ,not even foxes " rule was strictly enforced which saw my mate the Keeper ,several invited Keepers and a few ex-Keepers gritting their teeth when a pair of foxes ran along the front of the Gun-line ,stick two fingers up and hop a stock-fence to safety. I managed to loose nearly a box-full of Eleys finest for a cartidges to kill ratio of ,"atishoo,cough ,cough". I promised to do better on the fox/rabbit drives that 'll be starting in a couple of weeks . Quote Link to post
