    Fabulous day yesterday ... two Breton, two guns ... the odd hen put up ... the little turki came home with a clean barrel ... not that it matters, just being out there seeing the dogs work was more than enough ... and a tipple of Scotland's finest finished off the great day with a toast to Mrs Wells ...

    Tis always a mistake Pointer. My preference being to say "I like that". Using the keyboard keeps me fitter! Ha ha ha ha.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    My seven month old Mia and I took a wander ... no pheasant, saw only a fantail ... the amazing thunderstorm last week certainly had the stream up beyond the tree line in places ... but it was a great outing with the pup doing some lovely treatment of the ground ... the outing also gave her the opportunity to have more experience in the water ... I was well pleased with her ...

    Sunday started off with a good average of one grey from one shot, a stalk onto a pair down stream 'should' have had at least one more for the pot but amatuer hour struck again. 2 spooked ducks lift off, 3 shots boom out and 2 ducks flying off into the distance with a few f bombs from yours truely
    Went to buy some camouflage trousers the other day but I couldn't find any.
