Thread: Game bird diary for all

Should have accepted it quietly dundee, tis a rare gift!

Fabulous day yesterday ... two Breton, two guns ... the odd hen put up ... the little turki came home with a clean barrel ... not that it matters, just being out there seeing the dogs work was more than enough ... and a tipple of Scotland's finest finished off the great day with a toast to Mrs Wells ...

Introducing Gypsy first swan for us this morning,was stoked with her retrieving ducks opening weekend and even more chuffed when brought this back today having never seen one at only 10 months, probably best it was a decent swim not a carry tho! 😃

"Pointer likes this post"

1 hard earned mallard drake and 3 black swan for the weekend. All shot with 3 inch 1/4 #4 falcon

Took the young lad and his dog up to the eel infested pond
A mate came with us and we baited the middle decoy,which swam around the pond a bit till it got free.

Got a bit dark to view much,but this bastard was waiting when we checked the decoy!

I think smoked eel is one of life's many delectations but they give me the willies ... still, I guess, they are just like the rest of us ...trying to make a living ...

bloody hard to roll tho EeBees

My seven month old Mia and I took a wander ... no pheasant, saw only a fantail ... the amazing thunderstorm last week certainly had the stream up beyond the tree line in places ... but it was a great outing with the pup doing some lovely treatment of the ground ... the outing also gave her the opportunity to have more experience in the water ... I was well pleased with her ...

bridge over water again nearly,but crossable to access big pond,no birds harmed but another decoy moved by the eels. Bait was a bit stink in my coat for a few days.

Sunday started off with a good average of one grey from one shot, a stalk onto a pair down stream 'should' have had at least one more for the pot but amatuer hour struck again. 2 spooked ducks lift off, 3 shots boom out and 2 ducks flying off into the distance with a few f bombs from yours truely

The French have a wonderful saying for just such an occasion. c'est la vie
