Big Al Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Unlike England and the Republic of Ireland, in Northern Ireland we can continue our shooting as long as we comply with Covid-19 regulations. After a risk assessment and putting measures in place ( not least the closure of our usual shooting "lodge,") we can at least get out and about. Not long now lads before you can get out too.

Cranfield Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Wherever you shoot there seems to be water nearby, even if it is flooded fields.🙂 That looks like a nice bit of ground and a walk one/stand one is a great day out. I love the way your dogs are so keen, right characters. I also saw this first on YouTube, but its worth seeing at least twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handy having Bear and Ted with you for the watery retrieves,both having a great day out.Its a great therapy for everyone concerned,and you get a lovely addition to the larder.

It means you have to be careful about nontoxic shot as we can't use lead over wetlands. At this time of the year a fair part of N. Ireland is a wetland. 19 hours ago, Mutiny said: Nice footage, looks a good day Great day indeed. No shooting for 2 weeks after next Friday for us though.

Unfortunately our Assembly have banned shooting for 2 weeks from next Friday. I'm not sure of their logic as most transmission takes place in supermarkets and schools. And they're staying open. Useless hallions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you think they know little about our pastimes.If you can't socially distance wildfowling or rough shooting I don't know when you can.We were the same ,no shooting at all for two weeks,it drives you mad when they allowed fishing to take place.,England have had some luck with only driven shooting being stopped. Make the most of next week and enjoy what you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was meant to be at a different shore after ducks (and geese) in the morning, but the pheasant syndicate have moved the shoot planned for 28th to to tomorrow. Pheasants is is then!
