sitsinhedges Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well I'm back to normality after getting the big one last week but I don't mind a bit. It's silly to let one big bag overshadow all the great smaller ones. I had a good drive around Saturday morning but ended up on the field where I shot the 139 last week as it was the only place with any kind of flight line. I set up about 100 yards into the field by a pylon but despite there being birds on the ground by it the spot was just wrong so I moved to just a few yards away from where I had been before and despite it being relatively slow I made the best of the trickle that came by for a look, staying later than intended I managed to get 36 and a couple of ferals for my efforts. Used the Franchi Alcione 20gauge with some 27gram 6 homeloads. It's a great gun but bloody noisy compared to the Husher. Today with a few hours to spare but with an appointment this evening I thought I would have another quick look. I had a place in mind close to a spinney that has gamebirds in and shooting towards a village so I took the Husher. I really didn't mind too much so I was sitting in the sun, on my new PW Bergara Stag swivel seat, drinking coffee and eating Morrisons cheese and onion rolls for a couple of hours along with the odd stick of licorice and taking advantage of another trickle of a flight line until it dried up and managed to get a nice easy 23pigeons, 1 crow and a feral before packing up. Not a huge bag either but a nice relaxed afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo33 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Nothing wrong with those two outings Andy I consider both those very a very good day down here I know what you mean about the noise, or lack of it with the Husher. Should have taken my 410 today and not the 12g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
