Shooting Season!

[Matthew Arnold]

My dad and i have 69 days of beating this season. Had out first day on 26th September and the first pheasant the week after. The dogs are going to be earning their keep this season.

 

When the pictures are up i shall put the link up of a day we had a photographer from the shooting times out on Crichel Estate Shoot. Everyone knew that my transportation had failed but they didn't expect me to cycle 8 miles in under 50 minutes then crack on with the first drive.

They came last year as we are one of the few commercial shoots which are improving in the south west. Sadly not but there is going to be a picture of the guns and another group photo of the beaters. Here is a picture of all of the beaters and pickers up on the last day of the season last year. The team is about the same size this season although we have lost and gained a couple of beaters and dogs.

A few pics from last season. Most of my shooting is rough/walked days. Got a nice driven day this year as a thanks for doing a job for a local company.

Anywhere from 40 to 350 bird days. The 40 bird days are the walk-up days for the beaters.

Not sure. He was a shortish bald chap.

Yeah it's a mossberg 3 shot bolt action .410 takes 3" magnums and has a screw on silencer. Great little gun for a walk around.
