Pretty fun morning!!!

This morning me and two friends of min hit the fields for some birdhunting, we had put up "deeks" for crow, goose and pigeons at our stand. The goose numbers were low we had a flyby of maybe 30 total and we managed to drop nine of them, four Rock pigeons and two Jackdaws fell to the ground also before we called it a day......

Really keen to try Pigeons and Jackdaw tomorrow afternoon, they seem to fly better after lunch.

Sometimes you´re better off dead!!


Shot this poor little fellow this morning outside the stables, he was scouting for mouse in the field there but had a hard time focus on the hunt. I tried to call im in for a shotgun range but i had to go in and pick up my .222, got him in a good position and let away a Sierra Blitz King and he DRT......

He was barly able to open his eyes due to swelling from infection in his face, terrible decease Mange i make sure to always try and put these individuals to sleep as they truly are better off dead.

New toy!!


A surplus army Mauser i got from a good friend of mine, he was to send it for destruction as he had no time to finish this project. It´s CG M/96 in 6,5x55 with a army (cg63) Matchgrade barrel put on, the stock needs a new front end and alot of sanding as it´s raw from the miller, then some minor jobs on scope mounts and trigger settings that im tendning to let a gunsmith to help me with. Will probably not be finished until earliest next season, but it´ll sure be fun to see it emerge.....
Thaks!!!

Neo´s first fetch!!


My friends German Spaniel did his first fetch last week when they visited, we planned to at least drop one duck and then focus on the search and fetch and i must say it went as planned.
I think that with a little more practice this dog who mostly drives deer and boar will be a fine birddog also.....

Duckhunt

When i was young one of my favourite videogames were Duckhunt for the 8-bit Nintendo console, now 25 years later the hunt for ducks continue now i real life with real ducks and dogs.
We managed to drop 18 Ducks over the pond, the most we have shot at this pond is a grand total of 47 in one evening (see last years post).
