Could have been a red letter day

[seisobs]

Out on a field of barley today which was drilled on Sunday. Roost wood behind me, set up my new stealth camo net in front of a pine tree.

 

Set up my magnet, 8 dead birds on cradles and a bouncer from Greenhunter.

 

Was set up by 09:30, wind from L to R varying between 10 and 20 MPH.

 

First woodies came in a few mins later, birds were coming in on average every 10 mins in 1's and 2's with the odd group of 5 or 6 most of the day with a lull between 11:30

and 14:30.

 

To cut a long story short, ended up at close of play with 60 woodies and 1 crow.

 

Recon I fired just over 200 cartridges, getting rid of some old carts so was using 28 gram # 7.5

 

Should have used 30 gram #6, would have had more as a lot of them were at max rang.

 

All in all a brilliant day.

 

Will post osme pics when I find out how to work this new camera!!!

If you shot 200 cartridges then you had 200 oppotunitys . A fabulous day out . Its not how many you shoot ,but how many oppotunities you get .

sounds like a tried and tested excuse, I am sure it could be used in other circumstances too

 

 

Sounded like a great day out, i'm still looking for my first one where I get home and think WOW amazing(as opposed to just being good), still i keep trying it will come.
