It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire

Saw heaps of ducks flying into the Tutaekuri today...greys and mallies...it was fantastic...lots of chuckling going on so I guess they may be thinking about brooding

I hope you shot them both unless you only had one shell left in which case I hope you messed up the moggy.

Oh woe!! One more day to go...
Went and collected Harry and off we went to revisit a covey we had had an eye on, Dionee again team leader...
The upstream wind was as mean as the proverbial dastardly mother-inlaw which probably explained why the covey was reticent in exposing itself...once the sun leaves the gorge, naturally enough the temperature drops markedly. Harry is getting to understand the little birds more and he is thinking about the outcomes...ie too close a shot on a small bird, and why shoot a bird if it cannot be retrieved and to think about the birds roosting times etc.
Dionee worked the ground and the huge blackberry spreads like a demon but to no avail...
All was not lost...two rabbits were shot on the way home.
Again saw some Greys, and a couple of spawning trout.
As I edit this, the rain has come in and it is teeming...grrrrrrrrr...Last edited by EeeBees; 30-08-2014 at 09:25 PM.

Awoke to teeming rain and instantly thought...well, of course it would be a bad weather day!...but all was not lost...by 11hr00 the rain had abated and the sun actually forced itself to break on through...so it was off to Harry's for corn fritters and venison sausages (I supplied the sausages...bartered for pancetta) for lunch and then down the river.
Decided to take the young dog Jarlou...we have wandered about the farm but I wanted to do some shot work...birds allowing. And allow it did...a greylag was brought down, the dog steady...then a shot was fired at rock pigeons but they were so fidgety they were not going to take any risks...again the pup was steady to shot. He worked the ground like a machine...the covey we had in mind to revisit were not in the locale...
Harry and Jarlou on the way back to the vehicle...greylag in hand!!
So, that is it, Gamebird 2014 is over...Last edited by EeeBees; 31-08-2014 at 09:01 PM.
