Howletts Shoot – 7th January 2012

 
Guest day, so all hands to the pump …

As someone had pulled out I was able to invite Terry along and repay him for the two days on his shoot last year. He got to shoot eight drives, whilst I slogged my guts out legging it (literally) from one drive to another. Shouldn’t have as the cheeky bugger shot more on the day than my best day so far this season by putting 14 in the game bag (bad form to out shoot your host Terry ‘don’t cha know’). He made up for it by letting me get pissed in The L.B. afterwards, good lad.

His highlight of the day was “the retrieval of the last Pheasant, which had gone deep underground. The Black lab that pulled it out was lost from sight by all but its tail; great bit of retrieving.” He also mentioned the youngsters being “great lads and a credit to their parents, a really good advert for our passion of shooting.”

Another good day.

133 birds for 364.
