    Ha ha ha ha yes we tend to cut to the chase quicker.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    no fl but my gsp cross dog used to give e sideways glances about the weight of them and geese as he got older.
    got to the point where he,d rush to the retrieve but slow down 15 ton 20 yards out if it was a goose swan or parry and let the gsp pass him.
    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.

    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

    I've never seen a banded bird yet. There can't be many, if any in CSI

    30 for the day 21 pick up in this paddock then the poor old Dude hit a bit patch of nettles so I took him home.

    Went out again for a brief look on a pea crop and picked up another 9.

    Year R93 the are some game bird! one of the toughest IMO!

    Harder than ducks, pheasants and quail any day of the week.

    Have orgainsed a big shoot on this crop of peas for th 24th.

    300 acres. Looks like six hides and 12 guns.

    Think I might need another trip to the ammo shop to get another slab of 7s nar 7.5 more lead in the air yeee harr

    First pheasant of the season today , so got my limit very happy shot over a mates DD pointer. My dog has today off as her bloody allergies flared up after Saturdays effort for nil return.
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.
