Great pic doc brings back happy memories of many years wild fowling on lymington to keyhaven marshes such a shame the Brent were never put back on the ticket there's so many of them now :-)

as much as i could went out about 14 times would of been more but the missus booted me out and i had to find somewhere to live !!

great pics !!! love the first one

hiya mate great to here from you again hows your pup ?

well done mate !!i also went out this morning with roonstar straight after finnishing a night shift . i only had two pigions but thoroughly enjoyed every minute and the weather in hampshire today was gorgeous !! its not the bag but how much you enjoy it !!

tht picure has jsut given me a twinge !!

just finnished my first year there

excellent fieldwork spot on

Well Done

Hiya the Vizsla is one of the HPR hunt point and retrieve breeds theyre very intelligent but require lots of time and energy it takes about two years to fully train but so far she has come on well ive taken her out this season wildfowling ( but i hardly shot anything so that cant be judged too much)plus theyre not really meant for it but she showed great patience, when it got cold she wore a 5mm wetsuit to keep her warm. she developed her nose beating this season which helped her game finding abilities having loads of steady points !! darn those spaniels who used to come in and flush her birds lol and was allowed to pick up a few pheasants and finnished the season well with a few runners and birds other dogs couldnt find so i was well chuffed with that and shes great company in the hide marks the birds in flight then looks at me in disgust each time i miss, !! shes steady as well and dont run in but best of all is out walking the fields and woods working her and then seeing her going on point flushing then retrieving it is one of the best feelings ever!! still bit of work to do need to improve her distance when hunting and reafirming everything shes learnt so far, theyre a very loyal dog but require a lot of exercise 2 or 3 times a day and are deffinately not a pet dog to be left unatended arround the house. mark

Hiya shes from the Vizellven kennel and the sire is called tonga from somewhere in france the damm had a cracking litter and is now 14 months old

Very nice !! she looks tired out now !!

hiya yeh she's a Hungarian Vizsla 14 month old her training is coming on real good! Tho she has taken to markin flying birds then giving me an evil stare each time I miss !!!

Now the dust has settled with a month since the season finnished perhaps someone knows of a DIY syndicate in mid hampshire with cacancies for next season ? if so please let me know

went out last sunday on a large rape field with "roonstar" had a great time pigeon about in numbers we set two hides up with usual flocked deeks and hyper flaps bouncers etc about 2 hundred yards apart at a point where the field narrows towards a roosting wood I must say thoroughly enjoyed ourselves despite shooting like doughnuts !! had about 20 birds and a couple of decent pints in nearby pub after !!

Yhpm

You have pm

hiya mark That would be a result if we could take that on let's hope so by the way a massive public thankyou for all your help :-) most appreciated and very enjoyable mark

Hi tom I will keep you posted fingers crossed when the season finnishes and the dust has settled there may be a chance :-)

Hi all I know this season hasn't finnished yet but due to a change of circumstance I'm planning ahead for next season. I would really like to join a diy syndicate for a friendly shoot ideally in mid Hampshire, I'm after the type of shoot where enjoyment is valued more than the bag total where a beer is shared afterwards and where we all muck in with work parties and duties. Have own dog and chainsaw and flexible work rota so if your in a syndicate that has a vacancy please pm me Best wishes mark

Hi everyone thankyou all for your help most appreciated all very usefull advice I dunno bout you guys buy I always wilt when it comes to exams and tests watching the fowl fly in the wild is quite easy for me but seeing them static on pictures or drawings fills me with dread still 2 months to go fingers crossed !!
