The Dorset MacNab

This all started as a bit of pub banter last game season between myself and two shooting mates. Clearly based on the South Coast, a true MacNab (grouse, salmon and stag) isn't an option, but we got talking to what we could achieve!

 

The best equivalent was a brace of partridge, a brown trout or sea bass and a roe buck. However we wanted to make this an annual event, all three of us lead hectic busy lives and we live in 3 neighbouring counties.... So as our first attempt this year we have set our sights a but lower.

 

A brace of rabbit, and brace of pigeon and a brace of bass, all in one day, sun rise to sunset! The date has slipped a few times, but is now set as Oct 2nd.

 

Really looking forward to it and ill post on here how it goes.

 

Anyone else tried anything similar?

I would have to insist that the bass are on the fly or at least a surface lure!

 

I have managed my poor mans mcnab earlier this year - brace of pigeon, brace of rabbit and a couple of trout on the fly...I newly didn't manage it as the rabbit and trout both have the same witching hour!

Last sunday i had what you could describe as a red letter day it started with pigeon shooing farmer said there was alot about but ive not been up there so i wasnt that optimistic

anyway ended up with 73 picked at 2 crows, good day.

Gets back from the dealers my mrs says another one of my farmers have been on the phone" that roebuck was back" so i grabs the .243 shoots over there there he was sat in front of his spoil heap nice safe shot shouts at him from the truck he stands up bang neck shot at 70 yards quick gralloch and over in my mates chiller.

Gets home my cousin phones up do i want to go lamping....aah go on then why not seeing its bank holiday ended up wih 4 foxes and six rabbits and me knackered.
