Out with the Dog Yesterday...

I met up with a mate yesterday at 1pm on a small farm we have shot for many years, it is boarded by quite a large shoot so a number of birds use the unworked land and thick hedges every season.
Ideal Spaniel ground with nee length grass, plenty of thick cover to work the dog in, at 2 1/2 Chip has picked up a vast range of quarry, however we come across pheasants on every bit of ground I take him.

With woodcock thin on the ground we both agreed they were off the shooting list, there were only 2 that flushed with Chip inhaling the sent where it was sitting...

My turn this time to be in the bung hole as we walked around, my friend shot 3 which Chip pushed his way and what is on the tail gate fell to my gun....

Thanks Tim, Had him with me last night on the foreshore, nailed a couple of fast widgeon. The river was far to rough so we waited until dark and the tide had gone out with him picking them up off the flats.

He's a good looking chap, you must be proud of him Tim!
Mind you, with his head cocked to one side like it is in the photo I would love to know what he was thinking then, maybe something like - "Forget the photo pal, I want my dinner and a nice warm spot in front of the fire so will you please stop messing with that camera and get me home"!:rofl:

Thank you Pete, that is his look when I say...(are we going out) then the spinning around starts, followed by more spinning then skidding around on the wood floor....
