Cookie69 Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Yesterday me and a friend had a drive around his perms, and found a cut rape field withe approx 150 birds on it. We both thought we might as well have a go and walked the birds off. Set up the hide, flapper, half a dozen real birds from the freezer and half doz shells . I had brought my dog along for the very 1st time and didn't want to over expose him on his 1st outing So I slipped his lead on and I sat out the 1st 20 odd minutes while my mate shot the pigeon to come in. I sent him out for a retrieve, And I think it confused him a bit ? picked up one of the decoy birds, started to bring it back then put it down to pick another . Anyway he eventually picked the right bird and brought it back (good boy) Not to over do it with him I put him back in his box in the van (windows and side door open with fresh water) Over the next 3 hrs we had 23 pigeon one of which fell behind us in a grass field. After we packed up I got my boy out of the van took him into the field and sent him out into the direction of the bird. With a couple of stop whistles to redirect him and bingo one pigeon delivered Here he is posing with the bag (-: Edit owe picture not uploaded ??

Topgunners Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Nice one. It's always a great feeling when your dog retrieves it's first bird. On his way to many more. Is your van blue by any chance? Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
