Rough Shooting for Pheasants and Partridges

This week I am back out in the sugar beet fields of Cambridgeshire hunting for pheasants and french partridges. I opted to work Percy all day and although I am still struggling with the after effects of covid I had a great day and the little dog worked his socks off. I was especially pleased with his last retrieve as picking partridges in sugar beet is a real test for the dogs, still a bit of work to do on his steadiness although he was rock solid on the hares he flushed.

Like all real hunting days, highlights where we are incredibly proud of our dogs and a notebook of things to work on, enjoyed the video very much and hoping you get back to full health soon, cheers Howie

Covid had me winded for what felt like a year. You'll get through it, enjoyed the video thanks.

Nice video nick, would love to see a video on stopping the dogs from running in,I've got a cocker that does it and it's really embarrassing 😂

Top dog handling. Especially getting him to stop from chasing hares. Also holding him on other downed birds. 👍

Nice Vid Nick, I recon you should try doing a voice over as narrating on the move getting puffed out trying to film is taking your concentration, I have been rough shooting for 50 years so started at 12 with Dad, and snap shooting you need to be on the ball knowing where the other people are and the dog. Then you miss and get pessed off. Your dogs are a credit to you.
