GW80

I reckon if any of us shot the shells he shot we'd be rerirng to. only so much the body can take. the mental strength alone for trap is immense even on amateur scale

Can't beleive some breeders looking that sort of dough for a springer. I breed a bitch of mine who is ftw with hollydrive kurt, who i think is now with openshaw. Pups where £300 a dog £350 a bitch.

Great choice for a trainable dog, but geat ready for a wait.

Sorry lads, shes going for £600.

Slip.

Why do you not throw a dummy in because the dog takes pleasure in it? Thats the bit i can't get my head round!! If your dog takes pleasure in hunting a dummy in cover then surely that's what you need to get it entering cover day or night!!

"Stone Roses" by the Stone roses and Appetite For Destruction was good too!

Prices should be brought down in the pub to encourage people back to having a pint or two with mates. Buying drink from the supermarket or wine lodge is encouraging heavy boozing at home. I have 2 pints most nights at a wee pub down the road from me as i stopped drinking at home earlier in the year, some times the missus joins me, it has an open fire and allows dogs in, and i just love it!!

Got out this morning for a few hours, had 22 pigeons in the 1st hour but ended up packing up after about 3 hours with a total of 26 pigeons and 3 crows. Not a big bag but enjoyable way to spend a few hours!

A good friend of mine shot 200 plus a few weeks ago and he tells me he shot 100 more on Friday. But he still headed Down south on sunday and shot over 500 between 3 guns near drogheda some where!

Think you are right there, where i was today they were spoilt for choice for stubbles. The field i really would have liked to have shot is impossible to shot cause of house and road, but set up on the line to it and managed to draw passing traffic.Notice the beech mast too, been a while since there been as much! Also set my pattern up a bit tighter than i'd normally would and the birds seemed to be drew to it till about 6 pm when they started coming in over my back!!!

Been out a few times with not much doing. Shot 47 pigeons and 5 crows over Barley Stubble today. No weight of birds about my way like there was last year, but set up this afternoon on a flightline i know and the birds decoyed better than lately no magnet today just 12 shells and 2 bouncers, if my shooting had been better i should have had 75.

I have a yellow dog at present, have to say this boy is the best dog i've train for a while!! I usually work with spaniels, but this boy is something elese!!!

I used to drink in a bar, had one of the best barmaids you ever saw, but she always slapped the change down in a puddle of beer without fail, got the impression she wasn't too keen on our custom. But she had some figure on her!!!!

If we are covering all weights, then Freddy Gilroy must get a mention. Greatest light weight my da ever saw!!

I;m a Hagler fan. One of my earliest memories was my dad showing me him cutting Minter to bits. Great fighter he was. When it comes to British fighters then Benn for me, his fight against Mc Clelland is the best scrap i've watch in my time so far, and no doubt won't watch a more brutal fight again!!

Better for everyone if we stay British. I reckon even Mc Guiness and Kelly et al know what side the breads buttered on! The South have nothing only a faltering tourist industry, the Celtic tiger was built on EU hand outs propping up a building industry that was building for the sake of building, they had no one to sell to only big corporations who were getting subsidised for running loss making businesses there.

Well done Wigan!! Got them at 17/2 on paddy power last night, just wished i'd had the balls to lump on.

The whistle the dog listens too are the best!! Size 10 work boots when all goes wrong!!

The bitch in question is an open winner and the sire i'm talking about is just a hard hunting dog that has produced 4 open winners in the last 3 years.

I'm for breeding a springer bitch this spring, this will be her fourth heat and she is mature enough to breed from, plus she has no faults. But the problem is i'm only 50% owner of her and there is a bit of a disagreement on which stud dog to use. The first stud has been made up to champion this year and is a fine dog, however i want to breed this bitch with this dogs sire. In my eyes it is the older dog which is throwing the good pups . The problem being that the older sire has no awards to his name and the co owner of this bitch thinks the pups might be better with the champion on the pedigree. What would be your thought on this ? I know which sire i want!!

30 years ago yesterday one of the greatest race horses most of us will every see was kidnapped. At present no one has ever been charged for this crime!

Would like my old 205 GTI back best car i ever drove. But for new buys it would be Landcruiser Amazon and a Aston DB9 no car ever compares to the looks of a DB9!!!

I only shot 2 birds today, for 5 cartridges but my wee nephew shot like a demon, so proud of him. 2 Screaming pheaseants on his first peg and he downed the pair!! His second drive he missed a sitter, missed judge how fast a glider is going! He then down another 2 lovely birds as they came over the line!
