Well, we are now done.👍
11 Seasons can you believe that ??
We have had our last day in the field and have enjoyed every aspect of it. A wise man told me a while ago that she would tell me when she was done with it and I believe that we are now there. We have done small syndicate DIY days beating and at peg, smallish syndicate days beating, big commercial days beating, we have done smallish driven days as a peg dog we have done fairly big driven days as a peg dog, we have even picked up on big driven days, we did pigeon from a hide we did roost shooting we even did walked up pheasant....oh and we even did the most memorable one of all, walked up rabbit with my very good friend naj that was by far my most memorable of all. It's been a blast. We are not gone yet but we are both retired as of now 😁

After 11 seasons it's just about making sense 👍

Ips, I haven't caught up with the thread over the last few years, but have you got/getting a new dog to do it all over again?

Hi good to hear from you.
No I haven't got another dog and won't be doing so while we still have eze. We are relocating very soon 🤞 so even if I wanted another it's not the right time to do so. What the future holds for us once we are settled in a new home who knows 🤷‍♂️......but to be absolutely honest due to our relocation and imminent change of lifestyle I very much doubt that I will be doing it all again BUT one thing is for sure, we have thouroughly enjoyed the last eleven seasons 👍

Nice Pic, a couple hours rabbit shooting hunting with a nicely trained working Cocker is a nice hunt, enjoyable days field.

Sorry for late reply it's been manic and I missed it.....thank you, yes it was a fantastic experience, our one and only rabbit hunt in our ten working seasons 😊 (2 for 3 if I recall correctly with naj's benelli auto 🤔), with my now good friend naj 👍
