    Its a good offer this one. Once you hunt behind a good "pointy" dog that's on form everything else just doesn't seem the same.


    It seems so easy and yet often you are left wondering why you missed!!

    My lab once trailed me into a half eaten meat pie, so I know what you mean

    Someone might have to change their name to 16Bore, ay 20 Bore?
    Other than making me walk a ridiculous amount he's actually a pretty nice guy.

    Hahaha I just have to find a 16g now....

    Thanks again Ross, it was a great day out and really fun getting to watch Dash work.

    I would highly recommend taking Ross up on his offer if you want to try out pheasant hunting or just an armed walk with good conversation.

    cheers

    Excellent, the only possible improvements would be a side by side preferably with exposed hammers and some tweed

    Just to remind folks, I'm available to walk around the CNI and adjacent places after the Chinese ringneck ditch chicken.
    Or quail.
