Mr gen Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 So today on one of the wettest driven days I have been on in living memory I found myself having a right nightmare. The First school boy error was leaving my cartridge bag on the beaters wagon. I only realised this as it was disappearing out of the field as I neared my peg luckily an absolute gentleman next to me loaned me a box. Then begger me on the next drive after hanging the last drives birds up in the barn I get to my peg to find I had left my ear defenders behind @@#£#@££. Now I am very careful not to shoot without some kind of protection as my hearing isn’t the best to start with so checked pockets for maybe a tissue or even a soggy till receipt ...no maybe there’s something in my gun slip.....no.The birds are starting to fly now and a flash of brilliance... soggy, wet, cold kale squished and pushed in well works great maybe not as good as the Howard Leigh’s in the barn but hay ho.

Walker570 Posted December 15, 2018 Report Share Posted December 15, 2018 I've heard of eating your greens, but that is taking it a bit far Mr Gen. Must say, I sat in our kitchen with a fire roaring in the Clearview stove with a nice cup of coffee and watched the weather deteriorate thanking the fact that for other reasons our small shoot had been put off for a week. Indoor play all day. Been there done that with cartridge bag and yes, I have left my CENS in the cartridge bag at the same time, but I almost always have my dear wife standing with me and she always has a supply of paper hankies tucked in various pockets, lipstick helps 'oil' them to get them in position.

We don't like wasting anything and I mean anything , that might be why our fields are well sought after producing some of the finest veg in the country , could be down to the deposits of organic waste left behind by some thoughtful country boys.
