The Ghost Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 As a Cumbrian living in The Fens it is always nice to go back home and visit family and see some hills. I had a few hours on some family owned land yesterday and was able to loan a gun off a PW Member (kev i) He told me not to shoot anything above 28grm as he was unsure of how safe it was with anything above. It was a great sxs and fit me well, we shot a small wood for about 3 hours and saw large flocks flying about all day. I shot 18 and 2 crows (could have had 50 crows) we saw duck flying past all day and in the field next to us we could here geese. Big Kev shot 22 and 1 crow with his Hatsan, all birds were very skinny and not in good condition unlike Fenland birds I like the flash eyes on the dog!

The Ghost Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks Fenboy, I think I am getting better shooting than you lads on the Fens by all accounts? I was hoping things had picked up, I could do with a days shooting on Sunday when I'm back......I NEED a SXS? I shot very well with it, never used one for years....but loved it.

The Ghost Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Didn't take the beloved Ithaca with you then? Sorry to say I never, I am moving about so no gun cabinets at times.I was going shooting this morning, now in North East....opened the curtains and it looks like Christmas day with snow laying. I have said I will take the wife shopping to The Metro Center instead.....so at least she's happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking lab aswell well done He was not used to pigeon but did a great job, found out he does not like crows he had been pecked when he was a pup and is very unsure if they are still alive.

The Ghost Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Good luck tonight Fenny, I managed to get two permissions while in Cumbria so I now have some shooting grounds up here now. It will be handy for some inland shooting come september, we will have to sort a trip out. Give my regards to those out on the roost.
