Best part of the season was getting the young lab out working. She's only 7 months and shot 6 ducks over here. Retrieved them all, no problem. Also getting me first ever gadwall and shoveller was a bonus.

Best part of my season was watching my springer dog working it's his third season but he has really shown what a worker he is beating any cover you send him into.flushing woodcock other dogs had past over and a couple of very memorable retrieves he made.definitely can call my dog a woodcock dog.me on the other hand seemed to be always in the wrong place at the wrong time missed a few absolute sitters and on 3 occasions had birds flush perfectly for me when I hadn't the gun loaded but roll on next season

Bit of luck the weather won't be half as bad next season. I'd say that messed up a lot of weekends for a lot of lads and the floods aswell.
Time to hit the foxes hard and the bunnies now

Birds held really well this year, still getting decent bags right up to the end. We released 450 birds and shot 140 (and missed a lot more!).
