  1. Pheasant shooting Early December

    in Sporting Shooting Videos

    Posted

    Rough shooting at its best, thanks for posting. :good:

    The dogs looked well on form.

     

    I will never understand how you can walk up those steep slopes, with what looks like a sheer drop into the ocean.

    It makes me dizzy just watching. :)

     

    Thanks Cranfield.

     

    My Father basically is the full-time gamekeeper now he is retired. At 62 years of age he is up & down those slopes every day.

     

    There has been a few birds dropped into the sea this year, thankfully only one was lost.

  3. Pigeon shooting from October

    I always keep an eye out for your videos, I can't believe I missed this.

    Another nice shooting video, especially with the left and right on the crows. :good:

    I like the way you don't linger on the birds, just up and snap shoot,

     

    Thanks Cranfield. I tend to shoot better when I snap shoot. The bird I have time on or I have to wait for is the bird I tend to miss.

     

    Very good video accompanied by some cracking shooting, thanks ollie and a happy new year to you.

     

    Happy New Year to you too.

     

    Nice shooting again Ollie. I love to see the greybacks getting it.

     

    Always a bonus to get them & the magpies.

    This is my 50th video on my YouTube channel, really enjoy sharing my hunting outings, so now aiming towards 3 figures.

     

    Has took me a while to get this video made, its from 21st October on the same field I had the red letter day on.

     

    There was still a lot of birds about but they had all flocked up so it made the decoying hard. Still managed a respectable bag:

    Fantastic scenery mate! Always enjoy your videos, lots of action and good dog work :good:

    Thanks for watching mate.

    Back to the beautiful views and some strong flying birds, great watching the dogs.

    That is some great natural bird cover on those cliffs, certainly makes the dogs put some hard work in.

    The two bird maximum per gun is a good idea on a small syndicate, but there were a couple of nice birds presented themselves after you had topped out, must have been tempting. :)

    I know there was a couple of better birds after, if it hada been later on in the season I would have taken them. Plenty of natural cover, too much probably.

    What a spectacular landscape to shoot game. Thanks for the video :good:

    Thanks, wee are very lucky!!!

    Another fantastic day out on the steep banks;My favourite kind of game shooting with an eager spaniel.A 'Keeper once said he'd had some success with hard mouthed dogs by wrapping a fresh bird in a couple of turns of barbed wire for a few retrieves? Never tried myself though. Thanks for posting.

    I've heard that technique, but it sounds a little cruel to me. I normally put the lead on him & lift them myself.

    I was thinking the same. There were some nice birds after you'd shot your two!

     

    Nice to see the pheasant videos again.

    Thanks for watching al.

    Proper shooting and a great video.

    Thanks mate, good to see your videos again!!!

  8. Pheasant Shooting November

    The following is a compilation video of our first few weeks out on our Pheasant syndicate during November.

     

    Not a lot of shooting action, mainly dog work, as we try to shoot a couple of birds each day per person.

     

    The dog is my cocker spaniel Dinky, he is a half decent rough shooting dog although I don't always allow him to retrieve as he can be hard in the mouth.

     

    I hope you enjoy the scenery, if nothing else, and Happy Christmas to you all:

  9. Goose Shooting Scotland

    Well done Ollie good on you and your mates for making the effort, it obovsly paid off good shooting and happy times.

    Thanks mate, it was a memorable trip not just for the shooting but for the craic also.

    For anyone who has never shot geese before, this would make for exciting shooting.

    It was exciting!!! Layout blinds are hard to get used to, never shot from my backside before.

    I live in Aberdeenshire and see hundreds of geese every day when they are over here but iv never shot one yet! Plenty feed on our ground but never been much good at decoying them. Day off tomorrow though so you have made me think off giving it a go!

    Looks like great fun and glad to see them getting used! Duck flights must have been cracking sport!

    I wouldn't shoot them if they weren't going to be used. It's a lovely part of the country, some great looking places to shoot.

    Nice video Ollie shame about the pink foot not playing ball although you did get a few. Me and my son and his mate Lee went to Montrose in october and we hammered them.

    Didn't do the ducks we have our own flight line but you did very well.

    We have our own flight aswell but I'm glad we did do the ducks. I'm just glad we didn't blank on the geese & we all shot a couple.

    That looked like a very good trip, with some fine eating at the end of it, the sausages looked especially appetising. :good:

    Now go and find some woodcock.

    Haven't had much time to get out at the woodcock this year, only been out once, my 2 year old has been taking up most of my time.

    Great trip Ollie. Pity the geese didn't fully play ball but those sound like 2 great duck flights. I like the look of those sausages.I haven't been over to the geese for nearly 15 years.

    If you are ever up round glengormley direction let me know & you can take some of the sausages.

    Myself & a couple of mates travelled to Aberdeenshire in Scotland at the end of November 2016 for a spot of goose & duck shooting.


    On the first morning the weather didn't really play ball & with no wind it proved very difficult to get the geese into range. This wasn't helped half way through the flight when the Farmer in the neighbouring field started ploughing. We ended up with 5 pinkfoot & 2 greylag geese.


    The evening was much better; we were positioned around a small pond & in the next hour or so we shot 23 teal & 21 mallard.


    The second morning on the geese was much the same, no wind & more frustration with all the birds being drawn to another stubble a mile or so away. Anyway, we made the most of our couple of opportunities & bagged 9 pinkfoot geese.


    The evening was another successful one on the ducks with 15 mallard bagged, although 2 of them were lost.


    A great trip all in all and I'm sure we will be back in the future. We came back with plenty of meat for the table between us.


    Thanks for watching

    Don't know how you do it Ollie

    Great shooting yet again

    Atb

    Thanks David

    Good shooting, apart from those appalling misses! ;) I may have asked you before, but what camera are you using to do the filming?

    Thanks mate. I use an SJ4000 camera on a GoPro head strap. It does the trick!!!

    Top class Ollie, great video thank you.

    Thanks mate

    Good stuff, as usual.

    Loved the blue skies, a rare thing when I've been in Ireland. :)

    We don't see blue skies often that's for sure. Thanks for watching.

  21. Pigeon Shooting: My Red Letter Day

    in Sporting Shooting Videos

    A good watch and some great shooting, those high, incoming pigeons with the wind behind them are tougher than driven pheasants IMO, well done. :good:

    The wind was a nuisance, but at least you never had the sun in your eyes. :)

    It was great sport those incoming birds, would much prefer that than birds fluttering around the decoys. I do agree that they were tougher than driven pheasants, pheasants generally keep the same line/path.

    Some very good shooting on show there, well done.

    Thanks zapp

    Good shooting,good video but i am surprised you did not have a visit from PSNI. shooting towards the road so much.

    Mate that road is about 300 yards away, I'm pretty certain my shooting was safe enough. This is part of the reason why I set up in this position.

    Yet again you produce an outstanding video with some fantastic shooting, loved watching that thank you good sir.

    Thanks for the comments everyone.

  25. Pigeon Shooting: My Red Letter Day

    in Sporting Shooting Videos

    Posted

    Some cracking shots in there. Forgive me if I'm being stupid but what does a red letter day actually mean?

    Meaning as follows:

     

    a day that is pleasantly noteworthy or memorable.

    "many a trout angler has had a red-letter day on Loch Awe"

     

    Pigeon shooters use it to refer to shooting a bag in excess of 100.

    Good shooting !

     

    Almost as exciting as Ireland beating the All Blacks for the first time in 111 years in Chicago !

    Tell me about it. They were unlucky not to beat them a few years ago.

    Well done on getting the ton.

    I quite enjoy shooting going away birds.

    Thanks motty, modest compared to some of your days but a day I will never forget.

     

    A lot of the birds that day were very satisfying.
