the hitman Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I thought i'd give my cocker a run out today , hoping just to get a couple of shots off. With a strong wind blowing i headed towards the river , with all the rain last night the river would be running high and any ducks would be tucked in. sure enough almost straight away i put up a pair of mallards. I shoot the drake dead , and he falls into the slack water , but the duck gets about 20 yards out before i shoot her. She falls dead into the fast water , i have to drop everything and run with the dog along the bank to catch up with it. I put the dog in , he is 20yards behind , but he soon makes up on it and retrieves it. . Then i head into some rough cover . and the dog flushes some young hen pheasants , so small to shoot , but a mature cock bird lifts and is added to the bag. As i'm walking back to the car several pigeons lift and after a first barrel miss one is downed. Just some gorse bushes between me and the car when a rabbit breaks and is shot, the cocker won't pick it up ( probably because i'm trying to stop him chasing). So i'm well chuffed with that and will post a piccy tomorrow before i dress them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
