Shooting

[TonyN]

We sure did emaresee when we got to our bunker meeting place and car park.
We all had a short measure of whiskey who wanted it or soft drinks medicinal of course.
And finished of the cakes that were left at lunchtime genoa and carrot cake.
Behind the bar there's a notice saying
Drinking club with a shooting problem.

What a day soaked right through,think it will take a couple of weeks for my coat to dry out properly
apart from the wet weather a good laugh was had by all.
Shoot captain came round to the beaters trailer with some sloe gin seeing how wet we all looked which went down well
looked like a sauna in the trailer with all that steam coming off us.
Usual lunch at midday burgers or bacon rolls followed by genoa or carrot cake hot soup or tea and coffee most of the guns torched monticristo 4s today.
Final bag of the day was very impressive 165 pheasants 2 woodcock guns looked very pleased with themselves
and thanked all the beaters for a good job we did driving the birds over.
Wolfie will post a photo I hope of the game cart at the end of the day.

i trust you had a decent dram at the end of that day to warm up..... Medicinal of course?!!!

It's just flown by, hasn't it! I've got one day left (tomorrow, up in W.Yorks), then I've got an invite to a keeper's day. January is just so quiet for me! Think I've only got one other day loading, possibly one beating, and no days that I've sold at all.

Try and fit them in johnny long wait till the next season gets on the way
not unless you got some land to knock down a few woodies.

I have had a really bad year shooting wise. Missed the last three syndicate days due to other commitments.
I will hopefully manage to get a couple more in before the end of the season.

[TonyN]

Where has the season gone, seems like a few weeks ago we had a bbq and get together day
only 4 syndicate shoot days left before beaters day, then the whole of February we got the vermin shoot
then in march maybe depending what needs doing it's the work party.
Before we know it the season is upon us again can't wait.

I did in the bath till the wife shouted
How much longer are you going to be.

Good to be out in the sticks today after the festive few days at home, weather made a nice change too nice down my neck of the woods
breezy and mild. Today was a let day 12 guns came to shoot woodcock.
We did 8 drives today in total 5 in the morning before lunch, then 3 in the afternoon
the morning started very slow after 2 drives only 2 woodcock in the game cart, they just weren't about
thirds drive onwards through very thick cover with the help of the springers and cocker's we managed to start flushing them out over towards the waiting guns
by lunch time there was 12 woodcock in the bag guns looked more happy and out came the cigars monticristo's N04s
game keeper looked more happy too by lunch time.
The last 3 drives produced another 6 woodcock that came down plus 2 duck that came over to land in a near pond
total for today was 18 woodcock 2 duck.
Happy guns happy gamekeeper nackerd dogs and beaters but a good laugh and banter, will sleep like a baby tonight.
Roll on Saturday pheasant shoot by syndicate guns.

Sounds like a belting day - sleep easy!
