hedge hunter Posted September 5, 2016 Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 Well another very enjoyable flight down on the marsh this evening. Once again I set up on my favourite little gutter, hide all set up & a mother line put out with 4 decoys attached. Me and the dog settled in for what seemed like an age before the tide started to finally fill the small muddy inlet. About twenty minutes after the tide started to push birds began to move. All seem to be heading in the same direction. ... totally the wrong way to where I was set up !!!! Then out of know where a pack of 7 teal came whizzing low and fast up the inlet I was waiting on. I took my chances and managed to drop a single bird out of the pack. It fell out onto the open exposed mud. Once again young teal was called upon to fetch the bird. Just like always she was full of enthusiasm and determination, out she strode across the open mud and made another beautiful retrieve with the bird brought straight back to hand. As we waited more duck began to appear from the gloom as the light was rapidly starting to fade. Buy alas I shot like a total plum ( not very unusual for me in afraid ) and I failed to connect with anything else for the remainder of the flight. But what a lovely little flight it was and end up with a teal for a Teal. Cheers all HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome, sounds like you had a good time there glad you got out i think ill have a look tomorrow night i was kind of not bothering till latter in ythe week but withdrawal symptoms are setting in. Nothing better than watching the sun go down on your favourate spot with the dog shooting is important of course it is but its by no means all of it. Well done.!

hedge hunter Posted September 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 I couldn't agree more mate. It's nice to get a shot off, but just being out with your faithful mutt is kinda special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
