first day of the season


Recommended Posts

i went out to my local shoot of which me and my grandad are sydicate memebers of :P

 

i got there and picked the peg got number 8 to start with which isnt to bad

we went off the to first drive got on the pegs and waited for the beaters to start moving , everything got going and a hen pheasant went over my neighbour he hit it so i thought i better finish it but this didnt go to plan as i hit it harder but didnt finish it off so i had two shots on that drive after i shot at that pheasant 2 foxes came running through which completely recked the drive.

 

we then went off to the next drive i ended up on number 1 which was good as i was 20 yards from a tall hedge the drive stated and another hen followed the ditch at a good height i 2nd barreled it and that was the end of that drive for me.

 

thrid drive under way another 2 foxes were reported in the drive i had 2 shots at a wirleyold cock bird and missed :drool:

 

fourth drive we were in bung hole the beaters started and a jay came out my way i hit it then my neighbour hit it then i finished it off :hmm: my first jay ever!!! . the pheasants started coming through i ended up with 4 pheasants and a jay for 8 shots a rather good improvement ;) i had trouble with my next door neighbour he kept shooting at my birds afteri shot them so i decided to trim his birds up before they got to him as every dead bird of mine would get a 2nd barrel from him :hmm: .

 

LUNCH

 

 

5th drive DUCKs :drool::) my favorite the ducks got up and completly filled the sky i killed 4 absolute stonkers with my other neighbour congratulatiing me :drool: only for the duck he congratulated me about nearly landing on his head :good: i finally ended the last drive with 9 ducks for 14 shots .

 

we all ended up with 161 so it was a brilliant day all round :drool:

 

cheers for reading sorry for dragging on :lol:

Nice shooting :rolleyes:

 

Sunday Fox Drive, sounds good. What you should do is put 2 or 3 heavy cartridges in a seperate pocket and when you do see a fox, if you have time, change cartridges and choke barrel the bloody thing.

 

 

Are the foxes getting in your pens and killing some birds or do they just hang around certain drives ?
