stevew Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 We've had a return of 53% in total of 1200 birds bought (1000 pheasant, 200 french partridge)in our first season on our small driven shoot, although we did lose 69 partridge in a pen to a fox early on. We seemed to hold birds quite well all through the season, last driven day yielded a 77 bag, which bodes well if next season is colder. Also despite two neighbours, who don't release but shoot, having feeders right up to our boundaries for "wild birds". Overall very pleased with the results and with improvements, extra drives and a small pond in the pipeline for the coming season I'm counting the days until we start shooting again!
