When you recover the bits will you have a funeral? Perhaps a ceremonial burning, just think you could invite the Haggi with bagpipes.[ I love those bagpipes]

hello Guys,

Herewith another pic of last weekends hunt. We had the most awesome day with lots of pointing and good solid retrieving. George (the black one) really excelled.... We where hunting along a river when he went on point. I flushed and shot the bird but it fell in the river, swam out and disapperared into the bush. My Brittany had none of this, jumped in the river swam to the opposite side, picked up the scent, eventually found the bird and swam back to me for a perfect delivery. It just does not get any better. In the picture is a guineafowl, a francolin and a rabbit.

Regards,

Leon

Hello Whiskey,

We are extremely blessed with wingshooting and have a host of birds available to us, about 7 species of francolin, guineafowl, ducks, geese and then obviously your pigeons and doves. We start shooting towards end of Feb and our season ends end of Aug. Most of the ground dwelling birds, (francolin and guineafowl) is shot in various habitats, from bushveld to open savanah, right up to 2500m above sea level for a very nice little francolin.

All the best.

Leon

Leon, what time of year do your birds mate and nest then? Our mating season starts early Feb/March and nesting starts March onwards depending on where you are in the British Isles. Thus our shooting season starts once the youngsters can take off - on Grouse in August(Glorious 12th), and on other species from September/October and finishes January.
