I was working until 9 am this morning, but I had everything ready to go the second I got home. Could only get out for 2-3 hours, didn't even get a chance of a shot but what a beautiful morning, and even though I didn't get a shot it was great to be out and hearing shots in the distance. Hope you all had an enjoyable day.

Alpha Dog 1 · 01-11-2013 12:58PM

Just in the door now for a spot to eat. Delighted the weather held off and it was a lovely morning. Had a few pot shots from distance but no luck so far.

Poor pointer was in retirement mode from 12 on, had been very good until then.

Came across a good few hens which was good to see. Not as many shots in the distance than I was expecting and the word is that it's likely to be a poor season.
Heading out again in a half hour, hopefully we can have a little more luck.

Padd2 · 01-11-2013 01:24PM

E@gle. · 01-11-2013 05:50PM

Ended up with shooting my only cock of the day after 10 mins this morning.

I missed 4 cocks, with the only fault was the lad pulling the trigger (me). Starting to worry me how bad I was today!

nowwerehurlin · 01-11-2013 07:03PM

Couldn't get out til one o clock today but by god I made the most of it! Met 9 cocks and 8 hens. Three crackers of birds over three different dogs. Savage days sport. Great day to be a sportsman.

vincentf · 01-11-2013 07:14PM

got my first pheasant. it was my gwp bitches first pheasant as well. held point and as the bird got up she moved in and i just followed through. bout 20 yards. dog came back with bird in a straight line. she sat in front of me delivering to hand. absolutly chuffed. all the training seems to have paid off.
in the excitement id forgotten to close the field gate behind me as i proudly marched off and realised id to go back, bout 200 yards. i put the gun and bird down leaning against a telegraph pole and went back to close it. when i closed it the dog tore off on me up to the bird. thought she was going to munch it. she picked it up and sprinted back straight as an arrow and delivered to hand again. lol. we were both buzzin !!! great morning. cant wait to get out again.

shotie · 01-11-2013 08:07PM

Was out for a couple of hours this morning. Had my 9 month old Labrador out hunting along with my 3 year old springer. The lab rose a couple of hens early on which made her mad keen. We went into a field covered in furze and she trailed and flushed a cock straight out to me. She marked it when it fell and I sent her on to retrieve it as my young lad was holding up the springer. She was a bit unsure at first then picked the cock up and delivered it to hand. I was nearly rolling around on the ground with her, praising her. I couldn't be more delighted with her as she's the first dog I've trained myself. Still smiling as I type lol.

vermin99 · 02-11-2013 12:00AM

Had a alright day ,was hunting with my newly acquired red setter and she hunted well put up 2 cocks early on ,one missed and one shot .stayed going till about one when I and my uncle who I was out with decided it was time for lunch .Sat up on a creep feeder and was eating a breakfast roll when the dog put up a fine big cock right in front of us.Wasn't a hope in Getting him .Then later on on the way back to the car she put up a cock which was promptly shot ,there is always the one that got away ! Enjoyed every minute of it though

Had a good day yesterday met I nice few birds and shot 6 between us . But this fela was definitly the find of the day found him running around the road. Seemed nice and friendly until he decided to lock onto my hand twice the buddy ended up taking him and rang me last night to take him he is afraid to pick him up cause he keeps bitting him.

garv123 · 02-11-2013 07:10PM

We ended up with 4 between us yesterday and I got one more today.
Managed to miss the easiest bird of the day with my first shot of the year.
Weather was pretty brutal though.
