Sorry im wrong again (as usual) tlc should read t.l.c. tendes loving care.

The bird had dehydrated and lost too much weight through the wind and cold. Once we gave it fluids and high proteen food (breast of partridge) it was allright. Tic is my typing of the.

Nice photo's i like the wirehaired is it yours?

What a hectic 2 days that has been,full of drama and crisis. On the first day we went for partridge, but with a 20 mile an hour s w wind blowing it made things a little difficult to say the least must have walked about 10 miles from one strip of maize to the next. Somany partridge got up out of them it was unbelivable but the birds would get up and fly off with the wind up thier tails within a couple of seconds they would be gone. On the tally front we only had one partridge for the day,guess whos bird caught it. I thought they would have to take me to hospital to have the smile surgecly removed from my face, but it didnt last long my bird got ill and we had to finnish early to get back to the lodge to get the bird seen to after about an hour at the lodge and some tlc the bird sterted to pick up and hes fine now. On the pigeon front there were a lot of birds flying about nothing on the rape but quite a few on the strips of maize. Will tell about the second day when we went for pheasants later, that was a much better day..

Deako will post how i got on on tuesday evening or wednesdayas for saying that harris hawks are to slow to catch pheasants that is the usual exscuse of someone with a unfit bird a fit harris will take pheasant if they are flown everyday.

Sorry cranfield i dont have a camera but someone there might ill get them to e mail me the photos and pick the best one to post. Im really exited about going there tommorow its normaly a grand per day pluss £27 per bird for the drivenshooting wer'e getting it for £25 per day inclding a evening meal.

Hey HG YP in chat will wait for anyone for a while

The heading says it all, it is a very lonley place at the moment dosn't anyone like to chat anymore.

anyone fancy a chat going in now

I use 31 g no 6 for everything but geese and as long as you stick to a reasonable range you should find you will kill consistently. Remember its pattern that kills, if you have a good pattern at 30 to 35 mtrs with a particuler type of cart;Stick with it because you will end up with more in the bag in the long run.

Its back now (what a **** i feel)

going into chat anyone intrested

stick to 32g 6 and shoot them flying at a closer range works for me.

bloody hell ill stick to my shop made carts i think. It makes you wonder though it could so easely happen to me/you makes me shudder.

did home loading cause that blowout

went into chat this after worked fine but cant seem to get in there this evening any one got any ideas whats happening what iknow about computers you can write on the back of a postage stamp

cranfield sorry it seems that you missunderstood me when we say how do you find them we actualy mean do you like them are they anygood i know my lack of punctation dosnt help but it lets me type quicker.

how do you find them i think they are the dogs b*****ksi know it hasnt been cold enough to wear them yet but i bet you've had a little go.

i thought it was my computer playing silly bu**ers again cost me a fortune phoning freeserve just to find out it was'nt.

I have been out three times ,with varing sucsess,the mon before xmas i had 2 duck flighting, went out with the hounds on boxing day didnt see a fox yet alone get a shot went for a walk today and missed a woodcock and a rabbit so all in all not very exiting.
