Definitely odd wellies, one left, one right….Hi Fosbery Holster. You're a sharp eyed observant type of fella. I'd bet nothing much gets past you.

Had a wander for a couple of hours this morning far too warm 15c ...soon had to take my jumper off 
Started off with a nice hen pheasant then it was hit the wood for squirrels. Not many about this year but managed 5 , 1 not picked as it fell over a cliff.
I lifted my 1st woodcock of the season and a big covey of grey partridge consisting of about 20 birds.
I stopped for a breather and a silly magpie landed in the tree next to me.
Also rescued a lamb that was tangled up in some bramble.

Mrs said she wants to go shopping with my attendance 
. There will be people 
.
" I'll just take the dog for a walk...".
Hopefully this helps me cope...
I don't anything about these cartridges except they seem old. No load info other than #6 shot. Did ok, certainly not puny like some loads.

Went out got a few pigeons shot with steel shot for a friend's hawk and also got threatened by a dog walker who was trespassing on private land, good morning apart from that.

Out before dawn on a long ol' walkabout with my Winchester.
Seen close to a thousand pink feet come in to stubble. Watched them coming from miles out. Awesome sound and spectacle.
Shot a few squirrels and sniped a cock bird for a meal.
Winchester model 94's have been putting food on the table for over 130years now!

I actually really enjoy sniping a few pheasants with the .22, good fun & less damage. Got to say also how much I enjoy using my new 20 bore, its a joy, wish I made the switch years ago from my old 12 bore.

Absolutely, it's harder if anything!
I've only ever owned two 20g cartridge guns. A Remington 870 and it was very good and a Franchi 820. They were very good. Oh no I forgot, and a Baikal single.

Is that woodie from this year? haven't seen one yet, should be over with the last moon but usually a precursor of bad weather to come. I shoot just the one every year, as I love to see them but enjoy eating them too. It annoys me to see them hanging in butchers shops for sale, at a pittance, eat what you shoot!

No no, that was several years ago now.

I too had a lovely day - out with the 6.5x55SE shooting a few targets and Temu plates (which are taking it well but boy do they make a smack when hit!). Best bit though was my wee lassie Rua came with me and I walked a few woods with her and fired a few shells from the Semi 12g - none of which bothered her at all - we are both feeling rather pleased with ourselves, tired but pleased…
Had a misfire with a 6.5 - first ever though I note the pen mark on the rim which kinda suggests it is a dummy round which some eejit clearly mixed in with live rounds….
Ten minutes later….
Then I remembered the pen mark was to remind me next reload that another Head Separation check was a must….

Why do some call it SE Foxy?
*** Apologies - just realised that it doesn't include deer 
Maybe that nice man @csl will move it somewhere more suitable***
Lovely weekend courtesy of Richard and Spike at R&R Sportingmanaging murdering culling a few fallow - took 4. Including a couple from the very ground in this video - most I saw on Sunday in a group was 12 and they weren't hanging around 
Total for the LL/FL sessions was 34 with some stunning shooting by other guns

My modern rifle is stamped 6.5x55SE so to distinguish it from the much older Swede/Swedish I guess Smelly - fill your glass then read on….
