the day started with me trawling round our far flung permissions, with the intent on looking at the more local farms on my way back if I found nothing on the other places, and that's what I ended up doing because there was nothing worth getting out of the car for,, I met up with the old fella on the farm we shot 151 last sat still a lot of birds in the area he had been watching for an hour and said there was 2 places they were heading for so the plan was same as last week spilt up and shoot 2 fields and the one getting the least shooting would join the one getting the most, I set up at 2.30pm up on the drill upwind of him after 30 mins I had 2 down and it didn,t look good birds wouldn,t commit bearing in mind they had been shot at twice in the last week last sat, and midweek I thought they had become decoy shy, that was until I set the rotary up and all hell broke loose with birds diving in from all angles, I quickly got to 30 down then I rang the old fella to tell him to come over to my position, he had heard the shooting anyhow last sat it was the other way around I joined him, anyway we carried on shooting, by 6pm we was down to our last few carts that we had on us and approx. 90 or so birds down, I had 200 in the car so I hastily grabbed a box from the boot and back in the hide I knew we could make the ton before the birds dried up on us the box was gone in 20 mins and with it the birds so a long pack up and many trips with the gear and dead birds

107 in the pic old fella had 8 in the car from his earlier position so 115 picked with about 6 lost so back to back tons on the same farm but different field
