zipmiester Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I travelled to the Peak District to see my mate and go for a wonder with the guns we had a bog to walk hedges and coppice and a duck pond for the evening it was a nice clear still day , after a quick cuppa we made our way down to his permission, whilst driving down there were many pheasants feeding and wondering around we entered the field and saw 12 pheasants by the coppice so our plan was to hit this last . We got the guns out the slip dog out of crate and trudged down to the bog , Jason my friend said we're after snipe here. I didn't know wat they looked like so I said u take the first shot . We didn't have to walk far and his cocker penny put 2 up he fired and I did but missed , I thought ok I know wat there like now . Onwards we went 20 yards apart dog in front and flash ! Two lifted I dropped one with the first round and didn't get chance for the second . I was chuffed to bits my first snipe We walked then to the first old hedge they all were blackthorn with oak and holly in them with drainage ditches in them . Jason told me to stand 20yards out and over the otherside of the hedge we will keep a line and send the dog in the hedge ok I said what are we after ? Woodcock, pheasant rabbit ok. So we are walking down he shouts WOODCOCK !!! I'm looking my side and it flashes through tight to the trees and hedge I shot but too late because it was uphill and penny was in line with the bird . We walked a few more hedges and a cock pheasant clucked away chased by 2shots of lead by Jason but he got away . We stopped and Jason told me to stand by this old oak tree on a t junction of hedges he said ill walk the hedge up anything breaks cover for the coppice let em have it . No pressure So he started his walk and a woodcock whipped up and was making its way to the coppice I followed shot and made contact before I Evan had time to take the gun away from the falling bird it was passed by another bang another contact YES I got a right and a left my first and second woodcock ever at the same time Jason was gobsmacked as I was lol the day carried on as good I ended up with 7 mallard 2 teal 2 woodcock 1 snipe and 1 big fat smile and a memory that will last a life time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
