A couple of hours with Bob on the peas.

[aga man]

I had the chance to escape the household for a couple of hours tonight and having had a few txt’s from farmers mentioning pigeons on pea fields, I thought I would head out and take my young dog Bob for a spot of decoying. We arrived at field of just sprouting peas at 4pm after a very damp and drizzly afternoon.
Bob is almost two now and although I started training him at 8 months, tonight was to be his first time out decoying. He has been out roosting and flighting with me a couple of times.
I have to say Bob was a very steady dog in the hide tonight and made some decent retrieves including bringing a wounded bird back to me. A situation which he had previously avoided.
At 6pm the rain returned and we packed up with a modest 13 birds. It was great to be out after so long and I was really pleased with Bob. The pigeons were about but didn’t really decoy.

One very happy man and his dog went home this evening.

Thanks for reading.

Well done Bob. Impressive for a young man and they're all different..

Well done that man and dog. You have certainly been very patient with him.

 

Plenty of pigeons on peas not decoying. Sounds familiar.

One very contented dog and no doubt satisfied owner.

It's not always about the size of the bag but the enjoyment of man and dog.

 

Great session in my view.
