Archie-fox Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 So managed to get out on the moor for a few hours this morning to start my grouse season off..nice and sunny day so met up with Wayne at 9am and headed out.... Wayne's dogs having a break as it was nice and warm.. You can just see Wayne about 50 meters away as his dogs worked a few meters ahead.. Soon rewarded with a nice chunky grouse.. Finished the day with a first for Wayne he got a right and left grouse...and I only managed one... Looks a good season must have seen more grouse this year than I've ever seen before we just were selective on the shots.... Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie-fox Posted September 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Superb wee walk by the sounds Rich. Cheers Dave, not a big bag but a rite and left for Wayne will be a good memory, could have shot 10 more easy but just enjoyed the walk to be honest...nice to watch the dogs work as well, nice mix of a lab and springer on there today...both worked really well...Emma the springer flushed a brace of nice grouse about 40ft from me but the dog was in the line between Wayne and the grouse so just let them fly past, not worth the risk of a few pellets going near the dogs...

kent Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Cracking. Word is its set to be the best ever season on grouse and keepers are already talking of cheap late season shooting to reduce any overpopulation and disease occurring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really good size, saw the usual hawks patrolling the moor..only did a third of our moor as the sun was out and I was dripping wet, plus we didn't want the dogs doing too much so just a short trip.... Pleasant way to spend the day .. well done lads Cheers mate...hope all is well.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
