Underdog Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 It has been one of those days! When I just could not get it right I missed four pheasants today! Downed a hen and lost it , no gun dog with me , legs are in shreds looking for it in the brambles and they are burning as I write! The one pheasant I did get fell in a stream and guess who had to retrieve it? Me, but first I had to negotiate a thick black thorn hedge! Ok apart from the bad back I do need the exercise so....... One pigeon, missed one pigeon One of those days. At least it was a nice day and I was not at work Oh and the other day at work during a conversation about 12g shotguns I said 12bore U.

Sean Richo Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 That's what getting out is all about sounds like a perfect day. It's good character building am out in morning for a walk round my little farm I shoot on in hope of a rabbit or two. Will be wet but at least am out no pigeons about at moment but might manage a shot at a magpie or jay if lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pigeon controller Posted December 12, 2015 Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Well done UD , now you know what your days are like from the dogs point of view. At least you were able to get out and enjoy the countryside with a moderate result despite the losses. It sounds like Tedly47 is having a rough time but hopefully all will be good in the end.

She is sooo nice. Ours was put down at 16 years old, around 2 years ago now. Determined to have another at some point. Great characters and temperament.
