Well I braced the bitch again to keep warm and it wasn't a strangle hold:DAttachment 36876Attachment 36877Attachment 36878
One self timer shot to proove we were out there trying,fuck it going fishing with rod and gun tomorrow:D
Attachment 36879
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..

That's gunna cook up a treat, prime condition. Go Eddie! You thought of trialing him? I think he's got what it takes
nice one scouser at least your in the hunt:D
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:D
got a tricky little duck spot to jump shoot but the risks to the dog in retrieving the birds might outway the gain.:O_O:
Jeese thats cold....hope you where wearing your willy warmer!!!!!!Quote:

Brace your self!!
Snow all around this morning.:oh noes:
Me and the dog headed up too the green pond tonight where I dropped a pair this morning.
5degrees c when we got there:(
Attachment 36919
That is the best I could do to hide the quad:)
Stretch the feet out with my swamp boots.
Attachment 36921
Four mallards flew in and surveyed the pond at a safe height coming straight in between the gums
Attachment 36922
This got the dog sitting to attention with the big black tail swinging like a friggen hooker:D
Attachment 36923
Waited patiently and let out a few calls to the birds but to no avail.
The dog wouldn't have hesitated to retreive birds in the freezing pond.
Attachment 36924
But thankfully for the dogs sake nothing came within range and I left my ammo belt behind which would of made the four cartridges in the mag even more special if the four birds lowered there altitude:D
1 degree C at 1830 when we got home..glad my dog didn't get wet or I would be in her kennel as I would have grabbed the closest bath towel to dry her off.;)
Wasn't looking promising tonight when dog and I departed at 1700hrs.
Attachment 37013
Another freezing night with no wind.
But my calling brought a pair of mallards in.
The fat drake was the first shot
Attachment 37014
Followed closely was the second shot that dropped his girlfriend
Attachment 37015
And were dropped at my swamp boots
Attachment 37016
A nice fat pair of birds and the dog was dryed down with a bath towel when we got home
Attachment 37017
Makes it worth freezing your ass if you get a couple of birds, my little mate looks
for a rub down after hes been wet too.Got a look after them ,that water got a be getting cold now.
They were fat buggers to.

a brace[one nice drake and one scruffy one] from this morning:thumbsup:
does bracing wheather count in the comp:D
Ladies and Gents with not long to go in the Welly region I hooked my mate up with a coupler hookers namely the escorts.:D
Three black hookers at the pond tonight;)
Jess
Attachment 37183
The other two escorts hadn't even spoken by night fall:(
The best hooker was still looking for a jump:D
Attachment 37184
But the night was quiet and the three hookers never laid into a bird:)
We called it a night as I said farewell to my mate,ha thanked me for the breast from last nights escorts:P
He fried them in butter and were the best duck tits hes ever tried:D
I brought the two escorts inside right in front of my wife and kids:ORLY:
Attachment 37185
And chained the other black bitch at a dwelling where I have easy access too those lovely black legs and dribbling lips when she is excited by the big gun going off in front of her face.:D
I layed my two escorts on the bed for easy pickings
Attachment 37186 After I had showered and fed myself I locked them to a rack for easy access:thumbsup:
Jeese Dundee, where you a ghost writer for 'Penthouse' ?
With all this talk and pics to verify the stories I thought I'd give this bird shooting a go. So several $K and some later I'm the proud owner of a new Benella M2 12g, a couple boxes of shells, a permit to hunt quail and pheasants in the local pine forest and last but not least a game licence.
Several sightless pheasant trips and a lot of walking in the pines later I decided I might as well shoot some hares, or something with a heartbeat. A trip to a local property had me searching for the elusive winter hare from the heated comfort of the Hilux. Suddenly, after cresting a steep rise on a lush green paddock, there was a beautiful big cock pheasant some 30m in front of me and some 300m from the nearest cover. Holy Moly! Scramble to get the M2 out from the back seat and load it while pheasant calmly walks over the hill. Close the bolt slowly as to not alert my prey and a little stalk over the rise and whoosh! Off goes the cock flying directly away from me about 25m distant. Up comes the gun and a perfect sight picture down the rib. Squeeze the trigger and nothing happens, safety must be on - it's not. Bird is now 45 odd metres away and making every post a winning one. Another squeeze on the trigger and nothing.
Of course, I stuffed it up; the bolt hadn't locked up completely because of my silent closing technique. This bird hunting is not as easy as it looks on You Tube :oh noes: I suppose I'll have to invest in a gundog of some description.
Geez 10-Ring I feel for you. What you did to yourself is the best way to prank your fellow M2 user with a sneaky touch on the bolt handle! I've had it happen a few times. Actually had it twice one day on geese sitting up out of a layout blind with the bolt handle catching the door. Pretty frustrating.
As for the pheasant, a trained dog will be easier and very rewarding. Can't wait to see your first bird when it happens. It will be well earned like all good things. Keep at it.
I've just found out that killwell sell 2 1/2 inch twelve gauge shells. Look out 'brace yourself' thread! I'm getting the hammer gun out!
I found a neat old hammer SxS in 20g I nearly brought the otherday. Only reason I didnt was I wasnt sure if it would shoot normal ammoQuote:

Live and learn, life goes on - still sucks though. A mate missed a shot at a massive 180+ Sika stag last weekend down Puketitiri way. He's hurting. :oh noes:Quote:
