    I had my last days shooting today, since I'm working during the week. I only met 2 hen pheasants, and heard a cock.
    Even though I shot nothing, it was nice to get out for a few hours with the dog.

    I finished the season with the hunt of a cock i hunted on the 22nd december. back then he gave the dog and me a great chase. I flushed him lovely today and he got up lovely nice shot, but i didnt fire...he lasted this long i will put 4 hens into the valley with him and a feeder.

    vermin from now on charlie, greys and mags

    Met 12 fine looking cock pheasants out deer stalking saturday. The weekend before last was our last day out for the season and we met a cock with 3 hens and another with 2 hens but we didnt bother going after them. They had great feeding this year with the lack of cold so hopefully next year numbers will be up

    Myself and two mates were out yesterday morning. The first area we hunted we met nothing in. We headed to another area and while we were getting organised at the car I looked over the ditch and saw a cock pheasant, then another and then two more...I had to have a second look as I thought it could be wishful thinking, or a short-circuit from the seeping rain water :D
    We went around the ditches of the field and I shot the first one and a mate shot a second. We were delighted to end the season with a nice pair in the bag and also knowing there was a few still around for next season.

    Vermin control, dog training and working tests now for the summer. Hopefully a new pup as well :)
