Hi,I do shooting for woodcock and snipe with my E setter on my gun club close to co Kerry and I looking for someone who share the same passion.In my club they dont seem interested by the woodies so will be great to know someone like me.I got 24 years of shooting behind me but I never found yet anyone around my area who d like shooting woodcock seriously.

what kind of ground do you shoot on?

robertnsetter

I am not fond of forestry but I do like mix wood,bushes where the dog can express itself.
But it all depend on the weather and where the birds are.
And what s about you?Do you shoot for woodcock and where?

I do plenty of woodcock shooting when the season opens but if this year is going to be a repeat of last year it will be a disaster, hopefully we get the heat wave they are on about. I am on the cork/kerry border and work with a springer if u have a machete and are fit we can meet up also if your gun club doesn,t mind !!!

robertnsetter

I am fit!
Where is your ground?
Me is around Glencarriff!

Hi Rob,

Sent you a PM with my details. I shoot Pheasnt, Duck and Woodcock over my E Setters and Springers in Cork. Surprised to hear that there is no one around your own club who's not into shooting Woodcock as you have beautiful country down there for it!! Would be delighted to share a day or two with you and return the favour!! Give me a ring sure and we can have a chat!!
