phil123 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Had a great day out as usual on our pheasant shoot, and as luck would have it a friend from a neighbouring shoot invited me over for an evening flight on there pond. This was a first for me, I was getting more excited by the minuet and as it was getting darker I was stood there thinking how the hell am I going to even see anything let alone shoot it! All of a sudden Teal were coming in from everywhere, couldn't believe how fast they were, all of a sudden caught a glimpse of one up high on my left and bang, couldn't believe my luck. Hopefully going back again next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver pigeon 3 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Shooting Teal on dark is my absolute favourite shooting, and the fact that they eat superbly makes it even better. Well done indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDog Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well Done Young man, Can still see mine falling from the sky on the marsh one evening, its still in my head 50 years on: This is what shooting is all about. I remember my first teal too, almost 50 years ago. I hope Phil123 remembers his for the same length of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
