Crazycocker

Hi guys I've been a member for a few years now and although post very little I am on reading and enjoying the forum most days. I have been training my young cocker over the last few years and have done abit of beating and driven shooting but would love to start having a go at the pigeons but I am a total novice so would love to help someone out in anyway in return for a few days soaking up some knowledge not looking to shoot just observe. I am in rotherham but willing to travel. I also work shifts as an engineer so can be available weekdays. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Steve

I'm also very interested as Is a work colleague both live in South Yorkshire will drop you an email.

That's great cheers guys I live about 10 mins from the Braithwell shoot but never realised the exact location. Thanks again for info will give it a go next weekend.

Hi just wondering if anyone could give me some info and directions to this clay shoot all I can find is its on Sundays I am from rotherham but unsure as to exact location and prices times etc any info appreciated Thanks.

No sorry I don't have any photos of the scabbing could take one now but it is just a bald spot about the size of a 10 pence so wouldn't really show anything.

Thanks for all the replies I think im going to get him an equafleece to dry off after drives. Then maybe a good wash like apache said I do honestly think it is a reaction to being wet and scratched. Thanks again.

Yeah seen those was thinking of maybe going with just something for his legs to stop the major scratches. He is a great little worker but seems to be prone to infections and scabby skin after working.

He possibly could have although it was pretty much as soon as we got home and he had quite a few big scratches this is what makes me think it is a reaction to brambles the cover on that shoot is particularly thick.

Hi all this is my first post after been a member a while. I'm currently having some issues with my 2 year old cooker and his skin. Last time time we went beating he came back with pustules all over him and developed a scabby infection on his hind leg this is know healed but left a bald patch we are both eager to get back out there and wondered if anyone has any suggestions for protection of legs or body. He has got a fairly thin coat. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
