we had a look at some rape thats been badly grazed by the woodies, watched birds dropping out a big wood on the field a few flighting in, set up in the likely place decoys, rotary, floater out had birds in no time, but they started to pass wide and flare away from the rotary, started taking really long shots at them brought some down but took feathers out of others, needed to change things,moved postion of rotary 4 times and decoys 3 times throughout the afternoon, as well as a move to other side of field then back we got it right in the end towards the end of the day, if they had played ball from the off or we got it right from the off would have had quite a few more in the bag, but 26 not to be sniffed at.
sounds like a good afternoons work !! sometimes more rewarding when you have to work that bit harder for sport

He is doing well, did his first blind retrieves this morning and he did quite well. Didn't spend much time on the marsh this season as had some stuff to deal with which landed on some of the best months shooting but I should be joining next season. Did you spend much time on the mud ?
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 !!

Said it before, lovely looking dog!
Again excuse my ignorance, but what is this breed good for in the sport? Can they be trained in all aspects or are they specialist in a particular part?
Do you use her to pick up from a hide?
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.

Hi guys
im not prone to spur of the moment deeds but this morning (love at first sight) i bought a 12 bore Willaim Sumners of Liverpool side lock side by side, it has 29 inch damascus barrells and a lovely grained stock, its still very tight and in great condition
ive tried to look up details of it on the internet but cant find anything
so what i wanted to know is does any one on here know anything about them, how can i find out how old it is are they worth much ?
regards mark
