Our second day yesterday. Took my pup out for the first time to do a bit of beating on a couple of drives. She really enjoyed herself :good:

The bag for the day was 37 from 121 shots. Here are a few other photos from the day taken by the good lady.

Another good day for myself today :good: Only shot the one bird, but what a bird. A partridge over 40 yards up (others said higher, but I'll settle on 40), battling through the fierce wind. As I pulled the trigger, the partridge was above the canopy so I didn't see the shot connect. However it was falling out of the sky and no other shots were taken at the said bird, it was mine :yahoo: I marked the spot in my mind where it fell and shorty after the drive was finished, I dropped my gun back at the Landy, which was only 30 yards away, let the pup out (16 week old Lab) and set off after my fallen bird. It had landed around 30 yards back and up a bank, as we got close the pup was straight on a scent and there it was, my first partridge of the season (and the first one shot this season on the shoot) picked by my little pup. Well chuffed :yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

 

Sadly, I was that chuffed with how well the pup had done, I don't think anyone took a photo :sad1: However the partridge is in the freezer ready for the charity calendar :yes:

Yeah that was a good bird mark, and as the covey climbed and split I was surprised firstly that anyone had chance to get a shot off but more so that someone connected, well shot fella and another personal first for you, English "grey" partridge, spot on for the calendar and just what we were after!

 

A modest 30 birds from 3 drives, we gave one of the main drives a rest and shot or tried to shoot the 110 acre wood, so 30 pheasant & 1 partridge for 118 shots on very wet day! I didn't get chance to take photos soz.

Good day Ladies & Gents & well done Mark on the Partridge front, nice looking bird.

 

I only contributed 1 Pheasant for the day (think I had a poke at 4, need to use my open eye next time), anyway I thought we were going to be in for a very wet day, but in the main it was ok, until trying to navigate out of the 110 arce wood, where it pxxsed down.

 

I did managed to get a few photos hiding under the trees for a moment.

 

Thanks all :good::good::good: :good: :good::good:

shame about the wind and rain last night on the foxes but i thoroughly enjoyed another day out and another warm welcome from a good bunch of lads n lasses

The chocolate brownies where as good as last year and i don't think i picked the special 1 as could clearly see them 15 foxes dancing around a sheep holding hands.

Thanks again to Rob for giving up his gun...even though you let him shoot and he stole everyone's birds ha ha

Onwards to Oxford today and hopefully some better weather.Will have to pop back and help myself i mean you with them foxes Paul lol
