Attachment 11156
Toby nailed this one under 10 metres, full choke!
Attachment 11157
Next bird I pricked, it did a runner out the other side where it got the full choke treatment again! This one went 32 bars to Toby
Attachment 11158
Full Choke? he is shooting a communist gun, isnt he? :)
Good work fellas:thumbsup:

Cattle had shifted them selves so I put them at the other end of paddock.
Been a few feathers on the water the last couple of days.
Attachment 11177
A couple of parries have been there also and flew off tonight on the approach.
Sitting on hay bales the dog and I watch the skyline.
Attachment 11179
A pair of mallards came in and the hen was retrieved
Attachment 11180
I knew I had hit the drake too,cause I could see him crumble a bit as he flew behind us.
The neighbour stopped me this morning and said there was a drake in front of there door this morning:wtfsmilie:
Attachment 11200
I never heard the thud last night of the second bird hitting the deck,but at that distance who would.
Attachment 11202
The dog was working after the first retrieve but didn't cross the boundary.We were sitting on the bales,another example of bloody steel shot.
100 percent last night Woo Hoo!!!:D:D
Attachment 11203
Well done Dundee.
Your on to it Dundee, well done mate......
Back at the little puddle tonight at 1700hrs,only been shot at last night and tonight.
The position of the dog and shooting position:D
Attachment 11229
It was bloody easy blowing the duck chatter on the caller cause it was fricken cold 5 degree with a stiff southerly blowing from behind.
One drake flew over the pine trees from behind our shooting position and a few short "quacks" from my caller turned Donald the drake back into range.
The dog placed it on our firing position:D
Attachment 11230Attachment 11231
That was the only shot fired when Jess and I left for home after seeing lights go on at the neighbours,they were probably thinking dinners served again:wtfsmilie::ORLY:
Stroll back too the bike covered in camo coats:)
Attachment 11232Attachment 11233Attachment 11234
Suppose to be shit weather tomorrow so back to the big pond with a roof over our head:)
You are the master provider Dundee.
he,s definately got what my ucle used to call the ''lean hungry look''Quote:
Brilliant but where has your smile gone Toby
well done on the pheasants:thumbsup:
Out to Ellesmere this afternoon. Interesting indeed. There is a bit more water in than last time, was getting rather deep on the way in but drove most of the way. When it got too deep (about 800mm deep on the road) we backed up about 150m and parked the truck where is wasn't so wet. It was cold, wet and windy and there were very few birds flying about at all. Came back empty handed. Still damn good fun.
Thanks for the update Gadgetman
Been a bit slack here the last couple of nights but the weather was good for the birds.
Friday at the big pond
Attachment 11292Attachment 11293
The southerly blew like hell and a few birds came in but the dog fucked it up and stormed outa of the mai mai,no shots fired:pissed off:
Tonight was 4 degrees out side and tried the green pond,nothing came in but the ponds a finally starting to full up:)
Attachment 11294Attachment 11295
It was fricken cold out there
http://youtu.be/am78lt6hAtY
looks cool as. Shoot one coming in watch it have this blooy skid mark 20m long
Where the hell was that Dundee? Not your back yard I am sure.
nICE ONE Dundee... good laugh
All you guys out there doing great stuff with dogs and birds...got the gun out of the lockup to remind myself what it looks like...:(
Sit out in a rocking chair on the porch with it over your knees EeeBees! It won't help the withdrawal but your reputation will be enhanced
Had Pips first proper retrieve today, it was raining but saw a few pigeons about so went down waited a while and 3 came by 3 shots had me one on the deck, not great I know but she got it for us which was good. Didn't get it as fast as I would have liked but once she got downwind she ran right to it
Well I wasn't doing anything with birds and dogs if it is of any consolation EeeBees. I was just out hoping to do it in the wind, the rain and the cold. 3 degrees with a real feel on -7. Still do it again in a heartbeat mind. :DQuote:

The swallows have taken over the mai mai in our abscence
Attachment 11322Attachment 11323
Saw a couple of mallards but they flew off from the creek when we left.
Dog lept off the bike to chase a hare on the way home but gun was unloaded after leaving the mai mai and she was given the command "Leave it" and stopped the chase and on the bike again so she is in my good books again after the other nights fuck up:)
Full moon perigee or some galactical shit that means the moon is 70,000 miles closer to earth tonight:ORLY:
Attachment 11324Attachment 11325Attachment 11326Attachment 11327
