Thread: Brace Yourself

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..
