I went down to my local the other day I was on me own and quaffed a few pints of Plum Porter ale, turned out a bit messy (in the right way of course) but all good in the end.

Guns cleaned, me showered and fed, rest of the day will be spent inter webbing and contemplating where to shoot tomorrow. Enjoy your New Year. Why do you shoot coots?

marsh man Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Had a fairly quite day today , up at around 6.30 , took the dog out for his normal run and then back home for a bacon roll , tidied the garage up and took some Pheasants and duck to sell at the pub , my wife came as well so we carried on to Lowertoft to stock up a already well stoked cupboard , got home around 3.30pm so I was in time for a cuppa before going down the marsh to see if I could get my last duck in 2018 , got down there in good time and it was one of those nights where you just felt it wasn't going to be very productive and that was exactly how it was , saw the odd duck but my gun barrels were kept clean . Now sitting here with my once a year glass of cider , so before I nod off I would like to raise my glass and wish you and everyone else a Very Happy New Year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably get to the pub 3-4 times a year now Scully and every time I go I swear the price has gone up. Now I am not adverse to spending money and I understand pubs have overheads but my local which I have drank in forever is over 700 years old. My mate pointed out that he can understand when he goes for a pint and the price goes up a little as they may have refurbished the place. In my local you are paying £4.50 for a pint, the bar is a 3 foot plank of wood which is a couple of hundred years old and the concrete floor was last resurfaced around 1930 I am led to believe. The pub cannot be changed in any way, cannot have a music box because has a preservation of some kind. When I first started drinking there I used to drink mild which was 50p a pint. I could go out with a fiver and that would be me night. 4 minutes ago, marsh man said: Had a fairly quite day today , up at around 6.30 , took the dog out for his normal run and then back home for a bacon roll , tidied the garage up and took some Pheasants and duck to sell at the pub , my wife came as well so we carried on to Lowertoft to stock up a already well stoked cupboard , got home around 3.30pm so I was in time for a cuppa before going down the marsh to see if I could get my last duck in 2018 , got down there in good time and it was one of those nights where you just felt it wasn't going to be very productive and that was exactly how it was , saw the odd duck but my gun barrels were kept clean .

Dougy Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Decided to come home early and not have a full night out after any of the 4 Fox's flushed out of 3 drivers last Friday. Kind of decided by the high wind, but more of having to round up 6 Beefcake Texel Rams that bolted through the gate. Straight down the track after the Ewes, they were planning on seeing the new year in with a bang for certain. I managed to get 4 back but 2 seemed to still want a bit of a party, jumping back just missing me, surly would have sent be bowling over. Eventually getting the 2 super studs back after another run up and down the 3/4 mile track, i decided to call it a night. Dont think much to this shepherding game. Brandy in the glass and feet up. Happy new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clodhopper Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 The last day of 2018 was a near perfect day for me. I was lucky enough to be invited to shoot on a friends farm along with his family. I went to put some wheat on my flight pond before hand and shot a left and right at rats which was a good start. The shoot went well with 2 young boys both bagging their first pheasant, they were very proud, as was their Grandad. I then went and shot a couple of ducks flighting into said pond at dusk. Returning home to quickly change as we had friends round for dinner and a few glasses of nice wine. Tucked up in bed for 11 pm. Perfect.
