Great day, Jess and me pot hunting.

What a great day shopping in the great super market!

Three pheasants and a squirrel.

 

Jess has come on great, flushing five birds, I am impressed. But not as impressed as with the hen I shot and broke a wing only!

 

It ran down a stream and I followed. I was about to give up after 100yds but then Jess flushed it again! It did not fly but Jess waited for the shot!

There was no shot! I was not going to shoot it again, she looked at me and I her and then without a single word she coursed it and pinned it down allowing me to take it from her. I was thrilled. To see this little dog come on as a hunter is just fantastic.

Soon after Jess coursed a squirrel, said squirrel would not tree and the two had a great chase. The soft ground stopping Jess getting her power down and just for a moment there was some fast turns until the squirrel did tree.

 

A 30yd shot of #7 had it down instantly and Jess pounced!

She got bitten by the squirrel at which point the true terrier came out!

 

I rewarded her efforts with tasty squirrel shoulder.

She then went on to flush another bird and once shot helped me find it.

 

She has been a little gem of a dog. Good girl Jess :)

Great U, Jess is coming on a treat.... Much better than my efforts today as I had a two hour walk for nothing!!! Still better out in the fresh air than sitting indoors watching rubbish on the box.....

Yes mate, I was out first light for a couple of hours foxing. Never fired a shot but it was great. 😀

If ever there was a sentence that summed up the magic of having a good dog, it is that. There is something so real but so indefinable about shooting with a dog that totally understands you and the purpose that you feel, for those few moments, like equals. :yes:
