Bitch every day of the week for me, just through my own experience mature faster, generally smaller hunt as hard as a dog, just a bitch man

After seeing Terry had been out with the air gun I felt inspired so a trip down to one of my permissions for a look around bumped into the farmer "please have a go at the blackies" so a change of plan! Set up at 4ish and shot like a hero even if I say myself total was 75 managed to pick 63 Saturday had a call "fancy a bit of crow bashing" made the wife a cup of tea and got the green light! Feeling very confident after yesterday got set up first pair came bombing in I thought left and right, missed both :( continued in that vain for a good hour until I relaxed.4 hours managed 10 rooks 25 crows 36 jackdaws 4 pigeon Total 85 few we couldn't pick Monday evening went out for a few hours shot ok but not like Friday managed 87 only pick 50 odd as they where landing behind me in a bog and I was not going to get my crocs dirty

Hi Terry, That's it I am going to dust mine off can't remember the last time I went out with the air gun! Cheers Paddy

The monsters are now 7 weeks old and tiny but what they lack in size the make up for with heart! They are sooooo fast! The first 5 photos are of Titch and the video

I am looking for last years, I just thought someone might have one sat around after watching it a few times

I once used one of my cockers over rape stubble, she loved it charging around like only a cocker can, retrieve after retrieve I never even gave it a second thought took her home and she had her tea, next morning let her out for a wee as she rolled over in front of me the whole of her belly was covered in bright yellow pustules! The size of my thumb nails Ever since then I have picked my own pigeons on the stubbles I can't see the point of putting a dog through that again if I can reach the birds, don't get me wrong I am not going to start getting on my hands and knees and start charging into the hedgerows while the dog sits by the fire:)

Hi has anyone got the DVD of the springer championship they want to sell? Thanks Paddy

Absolutely brill! Really enjoyed reading this, I can only dream of the feeling you are going to get when you drop your first bird with this gun! Very large pat on the back from me. Cheers Paddy

How many Dave? Mums done a good job all look nice and chunky. Enjoy Paddy

Well done lads good shooting, I am off to load the truck first go on the rape stubble Cheers Paddy

Look like nice big pups! Is that 10? Polly must of been as big as a whale. Cheers Paddy

Yes she is the one Defoe staying here!

Well it seems like 2 minutes ago the arrived, now 5 weeks old and their first trip outside bold as brass not one pup bothered by a thing.

Congratulations! My last litter was started a 8.30pm last pup at 5.30am don't think any of my bitches have looked at the book that said "puppies should be passed every 20 mins or so! Enjoy the next 4 weeks as the following 4 are right where I am with my litter "help"

He looks big here, up close he is even bigger!

Let it rain blackies! I think I might have a go later in the week

Forgot to say best of all the farmer has offered to pay for my cartridges

Hi All, Had a phone call from a farmer last week saying blackies are hitting the cattle feed hard could I come over a thin a few out, so phoned a few of the usual shooting buds drew a blank " mums budgie has just passed away!" feeble excuses!!! So thought I had better make an effort dropped the wife of at work on monday morning "someone has to pay for the cartridges" watched the birds for 30 mins or so and picked out a strong flight line along a hedge to the wood from the farm so a decision was made to set up the farm end of the hedge, I set the flapper and a few decoys up just got in the hide blow a few calls on the primos caller and holy **** they came! Managed to shoot 121 in 4 hours, that was my best bag ever. Last night popped back to the farm, hundreds still floating around so thought I would shoot it again today,pleased to say I smashed my record from Monday,206 shot today so 327 this week a very happy farmer and a happy shooter even if my right shoulder is 12" behind me. Cheers Paddy

Jkd Good luck with two! Yes sprit is her dad! Grandad to the two pups

Pups are now 10 months old and coming on really well both love the water as you can see!

These little ones arrived Friday morning I was up until 5.30 with mum she is being very good mum, it's her first litter so 7 is a few more than I had hoped for!

Cheers guys A second vid

Hi guys, Hope you are all well, as a few of you know I have always had cockers so a lot of thought went into getting a little springer and I can honestly say I have loved it! Skye arrived 4 months ago, I look at her now can can't believe how much she has changed, bigger than most of my cockers already. I took a video of her today love to hear your thoughts ( didn't realise I talked to her as much as I do!) Day she came home 4 months And today at 6 months And a video

Dave she sure does did you see this link I put up when we went out on Christmas day? You would think they are twins http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/231725-loads-for-photos-of-what-i-have-been-up-to/ Cheers Paddy
