    did my damndest to get a pair today but if you saw shit the quail were in
    2 did obligeingly come out behind butlright to left dropped the first missed the 2nd.
    the main part of the covey went in 4 directions at once out of a blackberry and willow choked rdr edge accessed thru a dryed up pond.
    jesus ive seen some choked up crap in my time but this shit took the biscuit . i marked the bird down but when i got over to the spot i knew we were gonna struggle the dog did his best but it could have been hung up in the head high blackberry or anywhere in the 1/4 acre patch of crap.he crawled under thru around it and i wonder at a gsp so cover orientated but no joy.

    Nice iconic brace there Dundee.

    Keep them coming guys. I hope the lack of pics so far isn't a sign everyone else's season is going like mine???

    Three weeks into the season and I finally got my first bird! Max isn't really used to such slim pickings so when I asked him to hand it over he decided it was his. After chasing him about for a bit I got him cornered and he threatened turn me to ash with his new skill he had acquired from eating a pokemon.



    I left him to it. He's just outside testing his new wings......

    I went on a date with a rather black escort tonight
    The bitch and I hid the quad beside a hedge behind the little puddle and covered it with old camo coats

    We proceeded to have fun like you do with an 'escort' with the hay bales (a roll in the hay) some may say

    The evening was getting darker when my black 'escort' wanted more attention

    2 birds flew towards our private time,and not far back were another three, bang on 1730hrs flying fast into a strong westerlie.
    The black bitch stood behind the bale as the ducks circled over the pine trees behind us and came back in front of us directly in front of the puddle.
    My black bitch that was my date lept from behind the haybale wearing nothing but her black coat just as the lead duck put the landing gear down
    This made the following four flare away from our kinky hay bale session with the escort
    Three shots pumped out of my escort and my black date was retrieving the only one that was within range as they flared our secluded private intimate date.

    Brace on my 1/8th acre property!!!!!!!

    Decided to try to flush them out with my trusty gundog Eddie (Miniature Schnauzer) got up early and filled with the ‘breakfast of champions’
    (Berocca and nurofen) we set off to despatch our unwary foe…..

    Eddie was primed and quickly went on point, I knew we were close and the old hairs on the back of my neck stood to attention like cold nipples!!!!!!

    Eddie went straight in for the flush, not a lot of hunting pressure on these inner city quail/animates toy hybrids so they were caught unaware's….

    The brightly coloured male stood out against the brush stick covered fence and was the first to feel the force of my 12g Mossberg 500 pump….

    The drab hen gained height but was silhouetted against the blue sky and soon met the same fate, luckily dropping my side of the fence to save me
    A climb and a possible testicular crush injury retrieve (phew!)…….Eddie was onto the male like Gerry Brownlee on a free buffet……

    So there we were, two birds for the pot and only 58 seconds on the clock….what a morning! Ive always considered the Miniature Schnauzer breed
    To be a underutilised gun dog breed, my suspicions where vindicated, who knows where Eddie will go next, kiwi aversion training is on the cards….





    After a clean up of the shottie, the birds and Eddies paws (mum doesn’t like mud on her grey carpet!!!!) another well deserved ‘brace’ was consumed..

    nice one scouser at least your in the hunt
    temp dropped from 14 to minus one in the spaCE of an hour yesterday avo as the souwester arrived.
    fine as at the mo but the temp with wind chill is still below freezing and a gusty icy souwester.
    hope the quail are wearing thier parkas this avo
    got a tricky little duck spot to jump shoot but the risks to the dog in retrieving the birds might outway the gain.
