Well done B_B you certainly hit the hotspot, well deserved for the amount of reconnaissance that you manage to do. As you are aware that I ventured out and watched a field of rape on Thursday with a good number dropping in. The frustration being that I had to wait for permission to be granted, which ended up me shooting on Friday. The birds were sitting in the trees around the field and dropped in over my back in groups of ten plus . So you shoot two and spook the rest. When you dropped your birds for processing you watched me not having a shot and the birds were dropping in at the other end of the field. This was well out of range for my aching bones to get too.I ended the day with 25 !!! We had a request for birds and now have 200 plus for delivery , thanks to you. Again well done.

Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to all, keep posting.

Eight weeks, the delay was due to receiving the medical report which took four weeks.

Currently in the process of renewing my shotgun cert after thirty years of certified shooting and received two letters informing me that if it goes passed the expiry date I may have to put my guns in the hands of a RFD. I have no control over the time they take to process.

Get well soon John and hopefully the stents will give you another lease of life to enjoy the countryside again.

Well done Daz, a bit of wind and rain will not stop you having your down time??

Just picked up on this thread. A very happy belated birthday to you MM, John.

He helps me walk my eight miles a day, recalls well and picks up pigeon on the garage floor. Not tried him out in the field as he is my first shooting dog and I’ve been a visitor on Bens shoot lately. Will endeavour to use his nose on the rape.

Certainly Marsh man, one days shooting is much better than eighteen months of treatment!! The irony is that during my stay in hospital I would watch Utube pigeon shooting in the daytime and Prime sniper films at night.

The four thawed birds were used , two on the magnet and two flyers.

I was pleased to receive the call from Ben and have started to be catagorised as " Rent a Scarecrow", I jest it was a great days shooting at these birds who do not decoy. I started with four thawed birds and fifteen plastics with 3D covers on them and during the day I took them in and put all the birds shot out as decoys, 70 plus all round the tree. Over the day I only had approx ten set for the pattern the majority of the birds flew over the pattern but within my range. When I packed up I think I had about a dozen young birds and some of the adult birds were large, a real handful

Well done Daz, everything comes to him who waits!!

Well done Ben, that’s an excellent result for non- decoying birds. Nice to see that you’ve got your priorities right .

Well done, most of our land in cultivated. Thanks for posting.

I was coerced into tipping them out of the Disco , had I planned the picture they would have been laid out Thanks to all for your kind words.
