I had a lucky escape on the ice just after the new year and nearly busted my knee. This will be the first weekend I'm confident that I will be able to walk more than an hour on it before I have to give up.
If it was me Feidhlim I would have a plastic bag on it to stop the plaster getting wet and getting my mates to try and drive a few birds in my direction!

It was a fluke, we said we''ld give the dogs a run in some stubbles beside the river where some pheasants had been spotted the week before. We were walking along one of the ditches running perpendicular to the river and we could hear some quacking. We looked around and over in the distance we could see about a dozen mallard and a couple of swans hanging about on the opposite bank. We decided to loop around them and ambush them but they could see us so they took off. They circled around a couple of times and we kept down. They landed right accross from us behind some trees. We snuck into the middle of the field and then legged that last few yards to the bank. Four took off on my side, I took aim on one, pulled the trigger next thing 2 ducks fell into the field opposite us, the second fellah must have crossed behind the first fellah, as I said it was fluke..... I'll have to get one of them bloody hat cam things:p

Was out with the rifle foxing tonight and rose two ducks in a field near my house, they are the only two ducks i have seen around here all season!!! typical I see them on the last night, bagged a fox though so i'm happy and the season dosn't close on charlie!!!

I ended with four woodcock and a snipe. Strangely I never seen a pheasant all day. The place is probably bursting with them today the crafty feckers.

Ha ha I know how you feel. I was out with the rifle at dawn and saw at least 6 grey squirrels in the trees above my feeders. Went back later with the shotgun and not a squirrel in sight! Do animals know which types of firearm can't be used agaist them?;)
