A Big Day at Powis Castle - Proper Pheasants

Cracking day at Powis Castle, the rain and wind made for challenging shooting. There were so many birds that I didn't have a chance to follow them all down so managed to shoot

a couple more than it looks at first sight. That's it , video wise from me for this season. Hope you enjoy ....

Fantastic videos Duffryn, liked your one with the young lad in too.

Powis Castle looks a great shoot!

 

I was elated at seeing a pheasant come over me and I hit it (well a few and a couple of misses) however seeing them in this number would likely cause me to have a heart attack out of delight.

Thanks for the video. Have you had any pups by Rob yet?

No , the Mrs wants a cat and I'm not allowed a pup until I give in. I've been warned that if any pups "arrive" its the end of my shooting, We have been at stale mate on this issue now for three years and Rob is not getting any younger

An excellent video, that first drive was a very good one, with some cracking shooting. :good:

 

Its depressing that its now the end of the season, don't let it be so long before you post again, we miss your videos. :yes:

Thanks Cranfield much appreciated

Sorry but i'd need video evidence. :)

Locky is in front of me on the 2nd drive when I moved to the back gun position ( the near miss with the pheasant) and Rob was to his right. On the last drive Rob was three guns to my right and hit a very high fast bird. Apart from that your going to have to take my word and the size of the bag !

I cannot stand cats, I'm allergic to them and they hate me. It's my last day shooting tomorrow, this will give the balls to attack the subject again. The problem is with three young kids and shooting every Saturday of the season I'm not in a great bargaining position. Feb to April is Emma season where she can do what she wants but she doesn't take the P**s like I do. I've tried offering to reduce shooting by 50% but she knows that will only last till i have a pup. I'm stuck on how to resolve this and time is running out so any suggestions are welcome.

I believe you pal,just having a giggle.Rob is as straight as they come,if he said he shot well,then he did.

 

Great video and a great day to end your season.

Another fantastic clip. Birds like that, especially on the last shoot day of the season, should come with a health warning. The excitement could induce heart problems in some folk.

 

Your videos have been missed on here this sseason but it has been great to share a few trips with you in January. I thoroughly enjoyed the quips from your young 'un.

 

The cat dilemma makes me shudder. All the best with that one! My wife loves dogs as much as me. I'm a lucky man.

Another great day there . How daft does a pigeon watch day at powis castle next season sound ?

I have certainly been looking at a day there after watching these great videos .

That could be arranged if there was enough interest I think the minimum they do is 150 bird days, all Saturdays are taken though.

Yes it was a cracking day, really helped by the wind , wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without it . We are now having a cat, I can do what I want dog wise and no grief about shooting next season. A fair result I think....
