Ooooooooooops!!

Im first off very sorry for the poor updating through this Winter, it´s all my own fault as i havent had the time out as much so there hasnt been anything really to write about..

This week though me and my buddy Johan have been calling for fox really serious but our shooting have been awful, without revealing any distances :D i can tell everyone that we together burned 5 foxes for this season.... The misses have been good in that way that no fox got hurt more then a little ringing ears..... so after yesterday night we decided that we wont call a single fox before we´ve been to the range for test firing the rigs.

I´ll throw in a pic on a very successful morning in this years January at a friends Duckpond this young female showed up after some 25 minutes of calling and i actually went through 4 different sounds before the old Cronk Killer Call put the drop on her....

Thanks for putting up with waiting for posts!!!!!

Another evening by the pond.....

Yesterday we had another go for Ducks, we managed to drop 12 before lights out. It feels winter is on it´s way as the temp dropped with the sun, warmer clothes next time i guess!!

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).
