Had a full on shoot weekend. Was out after crows with Bluebarrels yesterday. I didn't have many my direction, (must be my ugly face!) but enjoyed the morning all the same. That northern banter BB more than makes up for the lack of shooting :blink:

Went out today on a new shoot...long story. Anyway they cut a field of barley last week just before the rain and today was the first chance I had to to get on it. As it is a new perm, I had littel idea of the flightlines. Did a little recce a couple of days ago so I had a bit of an idea. I arrived at 9.30 and spent the best part of an hour sussing out the better spot. Watching is so difficult when you just want to get on and shoot, but it is worth it imo. :ermm: Especially as judging by the amount of pigeon feathers and a couple of stripped carcasses, someone had beaten me to it, I guess the day before. :lol:

Set out a pattern of decoys, 7 full bodied, 8 or so shells and a couple of crow decoys, oh and a flapper when I had bagged the first one.

Started shooting at around 10.30 and packed up at 5.30. 55 shot 51 picked, 4 lost in the thick blackberry bushes :good: oh and 1 crow!

And no BB I didn't run any over or smash them over the head with my windscreen :lol: :lol:

Great day out :lol:
