magman Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Tuesday evening the lad gets in from school pestering me to go for a shot , so of we go to a farm with a bit of flattened barley . Gets set up at 430 and by 7 decides to start packing up as there are a few houses about 400 yrds away . packed up and the lad does the count he shot 28 birds for 50 shells using the 20 bore (have to keep an eye on him ) total bag for the evening was 79 birds . just as we finished packing away i spot two blokes walking through the middle of the barley field Walks out to confront them to see two boys in blue ,Came back with me to where we had been decoying checking the certificate's out ,van reg + written permision about 30 mins in all seemed some one seen somebody walking along the railway line about 2 fields away and heard gunshots so they had to check it out Think i must of upset a local with the banging Fair enough will go back one evening and shoot till 9 pm just to make my point now that if they want to play game's then i will . Was going to take a few pic's but with all this going on forgot about it Then Thursday had a day free and it rained sat in the house till 11am ,sod it I'm going out . Gets set up by 11.30 and by 12.50 had 100 birds down by 2pm had 154 birds down for 180 shots As a rule i always take 500 shells but in the conditions i thought 180 would be enough B) Picked up 89 birds then packed up , on the way through the farm had a word with farmer and he gave me the ok to go back with the dog to see if i can pick he rest . Pic after packing up Got home to pick lad up from school and after looking in the back of the motor said can we go back for a few hours So silly me agreed to it cream cracker ed by now Picked up dog and the lads gun and heads back . Dog finds another 30 birds i couldn't and then moved off to another field to set up again . Shot from 430 till 645 with the lad using a box of shells for 14 kills (told you i will have to keep an eye on him ) Finished with another 31 packed in and straight to the game dealers . the lad with the bag A van full Got home cleaned guns then had a beer :blink: PS, well done Magboy you made me proud again today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
