Krico woodcock

Two lovely Winchester 23's and really are v cheap , for such clean strong guns.

Trees down everywhere, as well as forestry plantations flattened . Buildings, houses, sheds badly damaged,roofs destroyed ,ripped off, gable walls even collapsed .Still alot of people without power and water, some may have to wait till next weekend till restored, our power back on at around 11 this morning..

What type of a oven do you use, i assume its a AGA.. I have air fryer, its lidl own brand, and its handy for cooking certain things.. everything thing else is cooked on rangemaster, gas ovens, gas hobs.. gas oven in my opinion is a far better way to cook over a fan assisted oven, as in leaves meat etc far more moist, fan electric wants to dry everything out.. my home house has a rayburn royal , oil cooker, again lovely to cook on. My grandparents house, which my auntie now owns, always had a rayburn solid fuel cooker, my grandmother could turn out scrumptious food out of that, my aunt can also.. but I was also fortunate to know a woman, all my life till she died, who done all her cooking over a open turf/ stick fire in small irish cottage, with all traditional Irish cooking utensils, cast iron skillets, etc hung on a crook, crane, over open fire, the food that old woman could turn out was out of this world, brown soda bread , white soda bread, wheaten bread, apple, rhubarb tarts, potato bread, boxty, and a load of other stuff, that was just the baking, then she turn out a fried breakfast like no other, as well a as any dinner,, she would do a mix a teal, woodcock, snipe, in one of those skillets, and i tell you this, you would eat bones and all.. she came from a time when women in Ireland could make a meal out of nothing, because they had very little.. when she died 17 years ago that was a end of a eara..

All the way it is packed before freezing.. anything properly vacum packed will last a long time in freezer, without any harm to the meat.. as for air fryer, pigeon breast, could dry it out, I'd rub some olive oil on them first, and season, before putting in airfryer. Air fryers work better with, meat with higher fat content, eg pork chops, sausages etc,

Its the worst Ireland has seen, in , modern times anyway. Alot of the country no power. It has done serious widespread damage.

Its sounds and looks like you had a great bond and rapport with your dogs. And I'm sure you got the very best out of them. And they were given a great life in return.

They definitely seem to be having a great time, along with the terriers skulking about..Did you breed them yourself? I have same line of springer for 30 years.

They look in great condition, and very inquisitive as to what your doin, look very smart dog's 👍

Yes sir.. all them are black and white, I have a very dark liver and white young bitch too, since that snap was taken.. 👆👆is this you ditchman with your springers at one time??

Hmmm🤔.. A low flying hen bird today, could be a screamer tomorrow, I could be totally wrong, but a hen flushed on a high bank in a wood, would be a different bird being flushed at the last edge of the wood ??

I don't own a cocker, or a sprocker, but have been working springers since I was knee high to a grass hopper.. a mature springer that doesn't willfully enter, and hunt cover, every type of cover, is a dishonest worker, and is more interested in minding itself than finding game, and to me is unforgivable. A springer that solely uses his/ her nose running along on outside of cover, and cuts in on game, is useless. I have heard it many times, " she has a mighty nose, she'll not pass anything".. wel she will and plenty at that. A spaniel is supposed to hunt cover , and should be keen to do do, whether it is a cocker, sprocker, or springer.. of course every one has different needs in their dog, and a dog that is one man's champion, would be another's scourge, not worth a cartridge.. horses for courses.

I'd say it most definitely could happen.. here in Ireland the firearms licencing changed in circa 2009. Prior to that Our guns were always licensed individually, so first gun was €26 and every gun after that was €6, all done annually. So for example 4 guns to license would cost €44. Then they changed it,with a whole pile of not necessary paperwork to apply for a new and renewal, at at a cost of €80 per firearm, but changed to a 3 year license. So now it went from €44 per annum for 4 guns ×3 = €132 to the new and more complex and far less efficient license system to cost €320 for 3 year license.. it doesn't have to make sense for the power to be to make a cluster **** of everything. No matter where you live.

BIG AL, I'm glad you have reconsidered.. as Scully has said its envy, or what I would call good old Irish "begrudgery" I wouldn't let the begrudgers have any influence.. and as for a representative of a main shooting organisation to give a snide remark that harm your causing, it only shows his ignorance, and must have no idea,instead of critising you, he should be applauding you, infact ask you to be a mascot for fowling in his organisation. Because you have your faithful labradors trained to a solid standard, and you show how it should be done, that you need a proper dog for the job, and you make sure that all birds shot, killed or wounded are retrieved. And you are always very respectful of the quarry you shoot. As for the poachers, wel I'm afraid there always was and always will be poachers. YouTube videos or not.. I hope to see more of your videos in the future .. Happy new year.

Seeland treggings are overpriced cr**, had a pair, few years ago, ripped first day out. Completely useless, not fit forpurpose.. I'd say go with decathlon treggings, come with a decent belt as well €55 cant go wrong. I have a pair of their leggings/chaps as well, and if its hard wearing you want nothing comes close, don't know what material they use, its like Teflon, nothing rips them not even barbed wire. But they are alot heavier than treggings.
