Not exactly "Hunting" is it?????

Each to their own fella. If you hunted this ground you would know about it. Briars up to your waste, steep hill sides & deep burns. I can also assure you that these birds aren't tame.

What would define as hunting if you don't mind me asking?

Walking behind the pointer on a two hour circuit & stalking up to the spot where that big FAT cockbird got the drop on you last time, nerves a twitter, finger poised & reminding yourself NOT to jump out of your skin when the sneaky bastard gets up AGAIN,but he goes in a completely different direction, chortling away with his tail feathers giving you the "churchill" salute!!!! NOT going after tame chooks that come running to the rattle of corn in a bucket.


That's what is happening here on our "tame chook" preserves where the gifted ones arrive in their Hughes500's and stretched limo's & cough up $5000 or so for an afternoon's slaughter followed by drinkies at the marque!!!!

If your shooting is different from this then I apologise if I offended you old chap. it's only 120 sleeps & a wake up 'til our next gamebird hunting season!!!!

You didn't offend me at all. I'm not about to start criticising anyone's form of hunting because everyone has different methods & techniques.

Thanks for watching & commenting.
