Underdog Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I should be!! Walked miles. AM from first light with rifle after a fox I have seen. Afternoon out with Jess and bendy barrel. I called a fox in but the crafty thing dodged me, shame as at one point it was only 25yds away! Never mind a couple of pheasants made up for it later, one was a grand speeding bird from a hedge bottom about 35yds away pushed by Jess. I flicked bendy barrel through and a leg came down and a good show of feather so I watched the bird climb and fly straight. At 100yds or so it faltered, at 120 it fell out the sky. It was a Fiochhi 32g #6. Earlier one of my dodgy reloads got stuck in the chamber, at £40 for the gun I was momentarily worried, I mean the knife I had on me was worth more! However I spotted a steel gate and with the gun disassembled a few taps on the ejector cocking dowel soon had the stuck case out I think the pheasant season this year is around 22 birds, about the norm for me, a poor boy U.

fenboy Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 They always said you can knock posts in with a baikal , did the gate post move ? You have had a decent season with the pheasants and have shot 22 more than me , I am hoping for one or two tomorrow though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Nice job does jess flush and retrieve for you like a gundog would or do you have to retrieve your own.No mate. I retrieve but she is there holding it down if it is a runner.She does flush them though. Got a good nose for birds now. I have not done any retrieving training. I am glad she tags along and hunts now, remember, at first she showed no interest at all! U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
