Should have accepted it quietly dundee, tis a rare gift!
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.Quote:

Introducing Gypsy first swan for us this morning,was stoked with her retrieving ducks opening weekend and even more chuffed when brought this back today having never seen one at only 10 months, probably best it was a decent swim not a carry tho! 😃

Took the young lad and his dog up to the eel infested pondAttachment 69589
A mate came with us and we baited the middle decoy,which swam around the pond a bit till it got free.

Got a bit dark to view much,but this bastard was waiting when we checked the decoy!

I think smoked eel is one of life's many delectations but they give me the willies ... still, I guess, they are just like the rest of us ...trying to make a living ... :)
bloody hard to roll tho EeBeesQuote:

I was well pleased with her ...

bridge over water again nearly,but crossable to access big pond,no birds harmed but another decoy moved by the eels. Bait was a bit stink in my coat for a few days.

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
The French have a wonderful saying for just such an occasion. c'est la vie
so do kiwi shooters "ah fuck missed again"Quote:

if there were 2 retrieves and there usually was you could guareentee he had the lightest one.
when he got really cunning he started eating the goose breasts to lighten the load and I know the old bastard wasn,t hungry cos he wouldn't eat them at dinner time if you offered them.:D

Only 1 today but had the bonus of being banded
So that's 2 bands this season, misses might get some new earrings
This photo from opening just haven't got around to posting. Tired but very happy old boy, had to hold him back so he didn't over do it but he still thinks he young and can retrieve anything https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4433d51432.jpg
