    Honest Ross's Pheasant Safaris

    Fancy a day out on the roosters?

    My hand is going to be out of action for the next couple of months, so if you are safe with a gun and want to hunt upland birds over a pointer then pm me.

    Dash is on form, and it seems a waste to take him out and not shoot - so I need someone to do the noisemaking.Name:  20250503_093421.jpg

    Good idea, but I'm blind in my right eye.

    If only I'd kept my pistol from SA - they'd probably still be safe.

    I would love it just to be behind a good working dog

    Loved watching my GWP when in the zone and doing the job
    I remember how the dog went more than how I shot the deer on a lot of our hunts

    If Ross's thumb was just broken he'd still be out shooting. But he's cut through the hydraulic lines so its a tad worse....

    Mine was broken pretty well, plate and half a dozen screws. Doesn't sound as bad as Ross though.
    Which side of Taupo are you chasing pheasants Ross? If south I might be able to get up for a look

    The big K and farms North mostly, but my folks live in Fielding so occasionally Santoft and the Rangatikei, plus the odd trip to the Hawkes Bay - and Rotoehu, and Mangatawhiri...... I'm sorta easy.

    Is he the one that backed into a water trough? Bad luck, and poor situational awareness seen to follow him around. I'm sure someone would be safe to go shooting with him though.

    Life isn't a spectator sport MH, sometimes you've just got to get into it.
