Pheasants.

Try harder Camel, I know sarcasm can be hard but keep at it, you'll get there in the end.

Come on down to Dorset chaps and I'll get us a days shoot to suit a working man's wage.

I'm always up for some shooting, depending on dates and details

And a plan to destroy Buzzards in case they might be killing pheasants, how green!

Do you shoot in your own woods Boatman ?

 

[treetop57]

can not belive i'm agreing with southey i get £30 to walk round in my green wellis with my bleck lab for four hours making a funny noise and thay call it beating sounds like walking my dog so i'm game for that

I would honestly say that if you can get to go beating do it, its great fun!

 

[Robbi]

Green Wellys !! Black Lab !!! must be a snob mate !!

 

[boatman]

Do you shoot in your own woods Boatman ?

No, just love being there watching and listening but individually shooting to eat wouldn't bother me if I decided to, just choose not to. I do fish so have no qualms about the act of killing. Last birds I killed were a load of damaged bantams that something had attacked in the night at our old place a few years ago.

 

[Robbi]

Must be nice to be a land owner.

 

[santaman2000]

I've got 73 acres Robbi. It can be a PITA keeping the fences up and the ponds from bursting the dams. That's why I lease the farming rights out for just over taxes; the farmer leasing it (a grandson of an old family friend) is responsible for upkeep.

 

[Robbi]

very nice indeed mate can you fish in the ponds ?

 

[treetop57]

just had a thought how many times would i have to go beating to afford a RM knife

 

[Robbi]

16.6 ( ish )

 

[treetop57]

that was quick and you say your irish :You_Rock_

16.6 ( ish )

 

[Andy BB]

Hmmm - I can see a weekend trip from NC to Florida coming up, Santaman

(Just joking - last time I drove that I was truly knackered!)

 

[boatman]

Yes it is even though its a very small bit. Unbelievably silent sometimes almost as though the whole wood is listening then the birds start going about their business again especially in Spring and early Summer. Settling itself down for the Winter now.

 

[Bushwhacker]

Okay, feelers out to start with just to gauge seriousness in attending. How does £110 for a days shoot sound? That'll include nibbles beforehand, port, damson gin or whatever along the course and a meal at the end of the day. Shooters and beaters all mix together, no stuffy, serious attitudes. It's a welcoming, working mans shoot with well tendered birds. This is non-commercial.

 

[santaman2000]

Yes you can although they're a bit small like mosr farm ponds.

 

[Camel]

Sounds great.

When are we talking about mate?
