this Saturday was our 3rd shoot on our small pheasant shoot.after the rain,the maize men,the spud men,then more rain we are drowning.
first drive of the day " the willows" is an old drying bed from a long gone salt works was 2ft deep and impassable.
next was " the river bank" up to the top and over so a no go.
we have 3 free 5 acre "game crops " which are the rush beds from the old sewage works.
these are great when it's dry as the ground is so fertile,once found a German fighter pilot who had been lost in there since 1944 😆.
all completely flooded 😩.
so we muddled through ( no pun intended) and ended up with a small bag of 23.IMG_20231118_105942.webpIMG_20231104_111807.webp
still we had a good day out.
to top it off when I got home the wife says " did you have a good day out on our 34th wedding anniversary" oh fcuk🤯.
best get my eating pants on and take her to the local ping pong buffet 😆.IMG_20231118_105300.webp
 
so the shoot being flooded does have its advantages.
must be 1000 geese and ducks on the left in spuds and maize.its a bi hard to find a spot that's not a mud pit,all my foxhole hides are full up😩.
I managed these 4 and the lads took another 8 further down the field.i don't care what anyone says Steel doesn't kill aswell as lead,still it gave the lads a treat watching me chaseing wounded birds on a crutch in the mud trying to shoot them😆.
today I shall be breasting geese " mostly".
