It may be a jaded or negative comment, however it does hold value. Even if just 1 person felt that way genuinely, does it mean it has any less meaning or importance? you are right everyone entitled to an opinion but hes came here to make an offer/transaction whatever you want to call it and gets picked to bits. the lad might have loads to offer in future and criticizing constructive or otherwise, can make him think "not worth the effort". then everyone's fingers are burned. the free opportunity section is depressingly dead enough as it is im with the majority well on you mate, hope it went well Edited January 27 by Sweet11-87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devon fowler Posted January 28 Author Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) Had a great day yesterday big thank you to claysandgame who bought along his lovely lab Percy who worked so hard all day! we managed 25 pheasants and 1 pigeon for the day. Couldn’t have hoped for better given that no birds are put down in this farm. Great to catch up with family and friends and make new ones. Farmer was very happy and even gave us some deer stalking to be getting on with. Thanks for all the positive comments and feedback I’m glad I posted on the forum as it achieved exactly what we were hoping, help from a great dog, a new friend and shooting buddy and a great day out for everyone involved.

old'un Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Fantastic offer and great result for all, not a bad bag for a walk round the farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konor Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Glad the day was a success. Striving to make the sport as inclusive as possible should go some way to ensuring its future. If others were to follow suit by offering the odd day to encourage participation, albeit on this occasion Percy had the invite and claysandgame merely the other half, we would be putting our sport on a stronger footing at grass roots level.

claysandgame Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Thanks @devon fowler, a great day out as you said and a pleasure to meet you all. Days like this with like minded people (and thankfully no rain) are what this sport is all about. I was honestly delighted to be able to work Percy and to bag a pheasant was a bonus. Now to remind him he's a retriever too...... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 Excellent, glad the day was a success. Am not too far away and would've leapt at the chance myself, but for the fact it was our last day on our little DIY syndicate, and it's been a while since my dog has done any rough work. Though he did put a shift in looking for a missing pheasant on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsh man Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 These kind of offers are far and few and the op deserve a big well done in offering it to a complete stranger , in life you get little doors open now and again and you need to go through even if it turn out a failure , it could also be the start of a new way of life and life is all about taking chances , it look as if you all had a brilliant day and may you all have many more in the months and years ahead .

ShootingEgg Posted September 3 Report Share Posted September 3 (edited) @devon fowler I can't believe I missed seeing this in January. I'm a bit up the road but would have happily driven down with my two spaniels. If you have something similar this season drop me a PM and if I'm not out I will definitely be interested in helping out.
