reggiegun Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Well with rain all night and still raining as we arrived to the shoot, I was panicking that the birds wouldn't fly. Especially as we had Sparkie from here as a guest. 1st Drive. This drive we have some maize cover crop, the beaters and dogs did a great job, pushing some good sporting birds over the guns. Straight away I felt better as the birds had got up well. Sparkie connecting with a couple and my lad with a good one. 2nd Drive This is a rough bank and it is ROUGH, the beaters and dogs fighting there way through. Again some good cock birds pushed out, turning in the wind, right over one of our young lads being supervised by his Father, good to see him connect with his first 2 cock pheasants. Sparkie again having a couple. 3rd Drive. This is where we push down two boundary hedges back to the main shoot, only one bird flushed, which is good for me, as the birds must not of strayed that far, not so good for the wating guns. Lunch 4th Drive. This is the Ducks, they flew really well producing good sporting shots for all guns, I did see Sparkie connect with a left and Right and a couple of singles, which I must say dropped from a great height. 5th Drive Again we have a bit of maize cover crop, well the amount of birds that came from here was amazing, Gingar connecting with some high cock birds, Sparkie with a couple as well. 6th drive. No pheasant flushed here, but I did see my first woodcock of the season 7th Drive Again not much flushed here, but I did see a fox run up the outside of the wood. We now went over to the other side of the shoot, to knock any birds back home, putting the guns out to shoot any birds flying away but to leave any going home. Well there was few bird that flew really high and I mean high, Sparkie not connecting to any ha ha. Worrying, will they fly or not Sparkie and Gingar ready for action Ended the day with, 47 pheasant 37 Duck 2 pigeon and a rook Edited November 8, 2015 by reggiegun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
