Wildfowler12 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Evening all, I put an add out at the end of last season looking for some new recruits on our little rough shoot. The response was overwhelming, and after taking the first 3 guys out to scope our land, they took the plunge and decided to join us. Fast forward a few months, past the hard work with the poults, and we're finally reaping some of the benefits. Although it's clear there is still some improvements to make!! Here's a few shots from the first 2 days. Until Janraury, there's a bag limit of a brace a head. So I think we're doing ok so far. 'victorismyhero' and the first bag... 'shoot and be safe' and today's birds... Me and the mut, waiting for the nod to push some more rushes through... The wife was off work today, so she joined in the fun too! Us and the bag...

Wildfowler12 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 That first bird was a belter, and a 100% kill ratio for you to! The Crown will never believe that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoot and be safe Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Only managed a few pictures of today's shoot. The fog rolled in as we made our way through the turnip field. This is where I connected with a nice cock bird 40+yards out crossing left to right. 1 for 1. As we made our way back to the cars we had one last area to push through. A small valley with steep banks either side. On approaching this area we flushed a small group of pheasants and this is where I connected with my second. 2 for 2 :yahoo: This was my view from the bottom of the valley. As already mentioned, a good day and the little dog even got to ride back in the cab on a heated seat. :whistling: :whistling: Leo come hear (sorry Andrew - Leo's owner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michufc Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Really nice photos and write up I am trying to set up a mini shoot for me and a couple of friends on my permission I have had the go ahead from the farmer so it's all good. So hopefully with lots of hard work I would hope to end up with a small version of your shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harnser Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 That's how pheasant shooting should be . You know that the birds will be eaten by the syndicate members . Birds shot for the pot . Super. Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I had the orange juice, white wine and grapes all ready and waiting and the casserole primed and ready to role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magman Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Any pic's of the rope swing in use That first bird was a belter, and a 100% kill ratio for you to! The Crown will never believe that did he have a double discharge twice again Well done on what looks like a great small friendly shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) did he have a double discharge twice again That probably explains his range-y bird, twice as much lead in the air, thus twice as likely to connect Edited October 30, 2014 by Wildfowler12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoot and be safe Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 I had the orange juice, white wine and grapes all ready and waiting and the casserole primed and ready to role.
