Underdog Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 What a week end, chores, grandchild, thought I would never get out! Two hours of light left I grabbed muff, old Tia and Jess. We waited for roosting pigeon but none came in. It was good for Jess all the same to just hang around and wait. She sniffed about where rabbit had been. With light fading fast I decided to let my old spaniel work some hedges for rabbit and she bolted plenty. I shot one but it was wounded, little Jess found it first and she was straight on it, shaking it violently. The next shot was a bolter 35yards plus and to my joy Jess emerged from the hedge to check on the shot and then responded to my pointing and again was straight on the rabbit! Next Tia bolted a rabbit in front of Jess and Jess was instantly on it and her speed is good but being young just followed it across the field 20yds back but it was a good sign of things to come! A rain storm caught us on the way back but it did not matter I was chuffed as punch and the dogs too Fried rabbit coming up U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Nice one. I was luckier last night and did get some pigeons roost shooting with my Husher, nine in fact. Shame I never had a dog to help fetch them though, I really must get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitsinhedges Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 They are really quite good arnt they! Better with a bit of neoprene stuck on where the fore end should be once the weather turns cold to keep cold metal away from your fingers.

Underdog Posted November 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I swear that springer is smiling for the camera - what a poser lol.Tia the sprocker is a poser for camera.We were on holiday many years ago. My wife sat on a rock on a beach so I could photograph her. When that was done Tia jumped on the rock and would not get off it. I realised she wanted her picture taken. I did take her picture then she got off the rock and went swimming again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
