    Please share some of your memorable hunting days! Ok I'm only a newbie really I only started shooting around a year ago but one of my memorable days shooting was when I went out with a friend who was also only new to shooting in a hide on stubbles fired 200 or so shots and only got 30 odd birds but it was a day I'll never forget!

    Shot 4 foxes and a cock standing at the end of a cover last season, the whole day was one to remember.. The final bag was massive between everyone on the day..

    This year I shot 4 bucks in one day, 2 on the morning stalk & 2 in the evening.. Freezer was full and I was a happy camper!

    My most memorable shot from this season was 2 snipe with one shot. I've done it with plenty of other birds but never heard of it with snipe.

    Taking a snap shot at a bolting rabbit and finding two of them on the deck when I went over.
    On skeet range hitting both crossing clays with one shot - not a rarity but good when it happens.
