mpk Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 (edited) Well it all started this morning first thing, I got up early and spent some quality time with my daughter. I have been working alot the last few weeks so was a real nice treat having a giggle with her. I then decided to take jet my 9 month old lab for a bit of training in the garden. We did his first blind retrieves this morning and he was perfect. Followed my instruction realy well which was nice. I then needed to make a trip to the gun shop as i had some gamebore clear pigeon that would not cycle in my auto. I managed to get a straight swap for some black gold.Which turned otu to be brilliant carts. I decided as i had not been out for about 3 months to pop up one of my permisions and do a little afternoon roost shooting.Got to the edge of the chosen woodland and i see a shooter wlaking towards me,at first i did not recognise so i unloaded my gun to be polite (i had not fired a shot yet)and waited to say hi. Turns out it was chrispti and we had been planning to catch up for a while. After a quick chat we both picked a spot and waited. A group of crows flew towards chrispti and with one shot it hit the floor. I looked back and a pigeon was gliding in towrds me. Clipped it with the first then killed it with the second. Quite happy with this as i had not picked a gun up for a while. We then after a while decided to move to the opposite end of the field. I perched with my back towards the woodland and chrispti near a gravel pit. Nearly had a heart attack as a pheasant broke cover to my right and then a black lab and his owner second. Chrispti had a pigeon and i had a magpie. Started to get dark and not much more around so off we trotted. Didnt realise the error of my ways untill i had walked the full length of the field then up a hill should have walked back with chrispti.Got home and did a retreive with the pigeon and the dog which he was really good with. Im now sat with a glass of port and the dog at my feet looking forward to the trips out when he is old enough to come along. Sorry its a long babble but thought i would just share a good day i have had. Sometimes its nice to just shoot a few a watch the world go by.

Frenchieboy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I always feel that the most important thing about going out shooting is enjoying the fresh air and the exercise - A good shot is an added bonus! Well done to both you and Jet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 That's what it's all about. Not the size of the bag, but the fact that you enjoyed yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deputy dog Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well done mate, I could have put it better myself. Just being out in the field is good enough for me. Fresh air in my lungs an the sounds of nature all around. Bonus if you have a shot or 2 along the way as well. Good times happy days :good: DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
