Driven day on pheasants, Sussex, 5th Jan


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I have a full gun on a syndicate this season and can’t shoot on the 5th of Jan as we will be traveling.  The shoot is in Sussex between Hayward’s heath and Lewes.  We are targeting 70 birds days, but there are no overages and no hard numbers.  We shot 96 yesterday and 69 two weeks before. There are a lot of birds on the ground and they are all flying well right now.  We shoot 8-9 guns nominally but we’ve shot as few as 7 and the ground works for 11 guns and the day could vary depending on people. It is a very friendly group of guns and beaters and I wouldn’t be giving up the day if we were in the country.

The shoot is a mix of open field driven and woodland driven with good birds presenting in both cases. We shoot 6-8 drives depending on light and how quickly people move through the day, stopping for elevensies after the third drive and lunch after the fourth. Light refreshments provided at elevensies and lunch and there are always some cakes shared around at both. It’s a really great day out for all.

 

£300 plus beaters tip at the end of the day (£20). If interested, PM me or message here. Happy to answer any questions.

 

thanks

rick
