My great concern is that bird selection is not going to be good and we will have the bag by 11:30. I have asked for a partridge drive to get the day under way.

Royboy Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Sounds like it's going to be a great day, If you don't mind me asking what price was it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Damn. Wish I had booked a day! With your shooting skills Motty I believe that you would have found the birds too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJW Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Lloydi SNS Shootandbesafe Penelope The former Fenboy Warwick Daniels Nick Ransom Neal Thompson OJW I was hosting there today and there were lots and lots of birds. My great concern is that bird selection is not going to be good and we will have the bag by 11:30. I have asked for a partridge drive to get the day under way. My biggest concern is that we can't find a hamper big enough for the picnic selection Lloydie is bringing! On a serious note, yes its always a worry with lots of birds but everyone is sporting and even I can do 100 / 9 to roughly work out my fair share and select accordingly. Thanks for the list, it's going to be a great day. Edited January 11, 2017 by OJW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penelope Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) Looking forward to the day and meeting everyone. I had a text from fenboy yesterday, who met a chap that beats on the shoot; he reiterated what JDog has written, lots of very good birds. There may even be a bit of snow on the ground, which would be nice. JDog, I suggest you limit us to 5 cartridges per drive .

lloydi73 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Sounds like it's going to be a great day, If you don't mind me asking what price was it ? It was £400 Royboy, sounds like it's going to be well worth it. On the Burnt Norton drive there were plenty of birds too, we could have easily filled the bag by lunch, on the first drive I stopped shooting once I bagged 5, only way to make the day last........5 sounds high, but I knew the next two drives and were I would be stood so knew I wouldn't bag too many there, but made up for it on the final drive.....we need to be cautious gents....... Ollie, I'm only bringing cheese and pies, some others need to bring treats and other things, I have got to get Warwick in the car after all aswell...lol....

shoot and be safe Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'm working the day before so not to sure of what culinary delights will be on offer from our camp... ...But... ...I'll have a bottle or two of Port for the cheese board. A sprig or two of rosemary, cherry liqueur, sloe gin and fizz for the "hedgerow royale" And a couple of bottles of the "House of Bruar" sloe gin I presume we are having a "wet" day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
