Thank you very much for watching. 😁

We use wild bird mix, which provides food and shelter for all natural species.

Thank you. They really are great dogs.

Thank you Archie!

Cheers Shane

That's so lovely to read, thank you and your hounds for watching!

We were in Carrog. Such a beautiful place.

Yes we were right near Corwen. We were in Carrog. Beautiful place.

@ It’s a pity that you didn’t meet the owner of the estate, he’s a real character!

Sadly the day wasn't what we had hoped it would be and didn't get many high birds.

2 people, shooting at the same bird from one peg? Not sporting in my view.

It's called double gunning, which is quite common and as long as it's safe. Linzi shared a peg on a couple of drives as she only gets to shoot once a year if she's lucky. Meaning she's not the best shot, and I mostly went for the more challenging birds, as that's what I went to Wales for. The keeper said "the bags the bag" and okay'd it. It's not like we were shooting 100 shots each on one peg.

In my experience ‘Double gunning’ means a pair of guns being used by one person shooting from the peg with the assistance of a loader. The person shooting has a higer ‘rate of fire’ than if using one gun, but they still have a maximum of 2 shots at any given bird. It does not mean 2 people shooting 4 barrels at the same bird! Peg ‘sharing’ iS not unsporting as long as only one person is shooting at a time, 6 shots and swap works well. Peg ‘sharing’ is sociable, a good way to split costs & to coach inexpeprienced guns - done right it is a good thing.

If somebody turned up at our shoot (av 150 bird days) with a pair of guns and a loader - they would not be allowed to use the extra gun AT ALL. It is only ok if ALL guns have been offered that option & if the difficulty of the shooting / agreed bag size warrants it. For driven Grouse it is the norm, excusable because the birds arrive sporadically in groups with long waits between periods of action. For 95% of driven Pheasant / Partidge days it is not normal to ‘double gun’.

Appreciate your comment. We tried to do it so if my wife wounded or whilst she was reloading I would have a shot. Sometimes in the excitement of things we both might have shot at the same bird. Like I said before, it was fine with the keeper. This was a bought day and everyone was fine with my wife having a couple of shots on my peg.

@@davidschofield9620 We would have gotten stuck in with the stand and reel but the Skipper preferred we sat strapped into the chair that he had specifically made. The Tuna are very strong and powerful fish so was still a brilliant experience.

@@mickfendick536 it's Catch & Release. It was certainly a fantastic experience but I would recommend anti sickness tablets if you don't have seasoned sea legs.

Thank you! Loving the countryside and all it brings

Lovely rifle, I would definitely recommend putting an aftermarket stock like the GRS on.

Its a good truck and has done me well, I run A/T tyres which are OK when in 4wd.

Sounds fantastic Richard, thank you for that great feedback! Enjoy NZ, it's definitely on my 'List'

Thank you David, appreciate the sub!

Eat a lettuce and cry

I disagree, I think it compliments the serenity of the blue sky and the wispy pampas grass, but appreciate it might not be everyone's taste. I love capturing the day and sharing it.

Ye, you would say that 🙄

Beefy Heathy as he's known in our house! 🐂

Sounds like a good start to a Sunday! There will be another video uploaded today, from yesterday's shoot
