This years season

[Cazzie]

Hi guys

Well its already underway with the grouse, and wont be long till the start of the pheasants etc either. I cant wait to get out there with the dogs and meet up with my friends, some of who I havnt seen since last season. 

Who all are attending shoots or who is wanting to go? Id like to keep a sort of diary of the shoots etc we attend over this season and add some pictures too

me me ME!!!    I can't wait!

Oh must remember Nic remind me to get the game licences

I would just luuurrrrrv to go, but by the time my dogs got out of quarantine I think the season would be over 

And after reading that Cazzie shoots peasants, and given that my current financial situation qualifies me as one, I think I'll give it a pass. 


Very jealous, so you had better post pics!

I am looking for a group near me to work with and get these dogs doing something useful and blow off some steam!

me, we were checking all the pens yesterday, all the phessies are happy, all the habitat is built and luckily for us this year, all the food is paid for (which we found out wasnt done last year and the shoot captain pocketed some funds and hence why we lost alot of our birds to the forests  )

How many birds do you put down Freya?  

This year at one of our Estates we have put down 1800 pheasants and they are all doing really well, we have had to let the birds out of one of the pens as they have been starting to tail peck.   On the other estate there have been 500 put down and again they are doing well.

only 400, its a small syndicate with 10 members so enough for us, we have loads from last year still kicking about and have brought alot of them back, plus we have partridges all over the place this year

God you must have the good ground for partridges then as ours never stay, we only have a few covies  The ones I hatched out last year I think have flown the nest 

[crazyspaniels]

we didnt put them down, they keep appearing, dont know where from, not that we are complaining, we dont have a direct neighbouring shoot either?

[Cazzie]

Thats what I was saying you must have ground they like, maybe mine are with you

Right Freya
