A good mate of mine invites me every year for a days pheasant shooting with him, anyway he asked me if I would nip over with my rifle and have a look for charlie with him.
Last night was the night and it was looking good -1.5 when I left home but half an hour later at his place it was 3.5ºc, we set off and in the 3rd field we found our first target up on the sticks around 100yrd and it was down, a quick look around and there was number 2 around 150yrds which soon joined its mate.
We gathered them both up my mate flicked the lamp on and I couldnt believe it another 1 !! So that was 3 in the bagand we had not been out for half an hour.
We carried on and when we got on the last part of the ground we found another which I took then in the next field we spotted yet another which was heading towards the wood, we made our way into the field and stood with the hedge to our backs but no sign of it.
We gave it a minute had another look with the lamp and nothing so I gave a quick squeak and out it came, off with the lamp and another quiet squeak and it was coming in like a train.
So we had that one too which was all good practice off the sticks.
Happy shoot now have 5 less for the time being.
