Dunkield Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I did a walk and stand day on Tuesday with a good few others that beat, or have other halves that beat. There were 20 or so guns so we split up into 2 halves, tossed a coin for stand or walk and off we went. We managed 5 quite long drives and there were still a few birds about. Total for the day seems almost irrelevant, which is always a sign of good day out, it was about 80 or so mixed partridge and pheasant. Some shot very well, in fact one gun was an ex-instructor, and some didn't, mainly those who beat all year and shoot game once a year. I shot 5 pheasant and a partridge and had a great day out in the country with a bunch of good people. The weather was more like spring than January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandersj89 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 well done bud some nice shooting We had our Keepers Day yesterday. I am still trying to dry out.....oops!!! Morning was dire!!!! But the wind pushed the birds around like sky rockets and we also had 2 flocks of 100 plus pigeons floating around. Shooting was very very testing and boy did it rain until about 2pm when it calmed down a bit. Last drive saw me on the exposed side of a wood and we had a sleet cloud burst and 40mph winds. Top half of me was fine though things were starting to get a bit damp around the nexk, legs did not fair so well. Into the pub for food and drinks as as I sat down the water literally oozed out of my moleskins. I moved closer to the fire and started to steam gently for an hour or so. I then went back out for a mooch around and into one of the covers to see if the pigeon would play ball roosting. No one wanted to join me so on my own. Had a fantastic 30mins. Birds coming in at all angles and at speed, ended up with just over a dozen before it got too dark. Then swapped over to the rifle for a quick charlie check but did not see anything. High light of the day though was on the first wood beating, almost stepped on a roe buck which then jumped up and brushed paste me nearly knocking me over. Antlers in full velvet and looking in great condition. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
