What time was that Dawn, Dusk?
Did you get a trophy out of this guy?
And if so how much?
I hope to go some day, I have a few friends from the kalahari region.
Did yee shoot prone?
How do you manage the long grass if using short Bipod?
Sorry for all the questions, I only know 2-3 people who have ever done game shooting over there.
Perhaps post a thread? Love to hear more, including what you do to avoid Lions, Hyena etc.
Such a big topic that would be a wonderful read from a paddies perspective0 -

Decided to go for a shot today. Got to a field at 11am and setup. Worst few hours ever!! Only got 3 pigeons and 4 crows so decided to leave at 2pm.
Headed for pastures new..... pulled up and got setup and shooting at 2.45pm. After just over 4 hours we had shot over 170 pigeons, 4 crows and 2 ferrels. So a good day. Best day so far by about 80+ birds

Shot this vixen in a hay field on Friday night. We had gone into the field and gave twenty minutes calling with a wigeon call but nothing turned up. We got back into the car and were heading down the road when my mate spotted eyes in the headlights further down the field we had just come out of. I went down the road to turn the car around and pulled in. We entered the bottom of the field and called for a time with the wigeon call. Spotted the fox in the far corner of the field but she wasn’t moving, we moved up through the field until we found a decent round bale that gave us a good view of the rest of the fox. I started calling on the WAM caller and sure enough the fox started coming, I’ld blow a few squeals and she’ld run in and stop, until I finally got her where I wanted. I fired but I must have pulled the shot coz she started roaring and then ran off back up the field, I reloaded flicked the safety on and my mate followed her with the lamp until we lost sight of her, but we found her and I took a shoot of the shoulder putting her out of her misery.
The first round almost took her front left leg off, the second round hit her in the shoulder killing her instantly.

I must apologise for stringing posts not quite used to pictures yet. Any way this is my crew only picture I have with the three of them together.
The springer is now in heat
I'm unsure whether to breed her or not she is still young but if i breed her ill have no dog for the pheasant as I run my good friends dog, who has work commitments and cant get out but she is in pup!

Got this lad today off a pond. Shot him and he dropped into the middle of it, and my trusty pal in the photo swam out and retrieved him to my foot. All the training and hard work seems to be slowly paying off:D:D:D (Thanks to E-POINTER for all the hints and tips over the last few months via PM

i finally got the opportunity to blood my new sako/trueflight, i was watching a sika pricket that was bothering my local farmer for a while now. and this evening when i got home from work i called over for a walk threw the ground, but no luck so instead i helped the farmer round up the cattle for milking.
as we were strolling back to the parlor he told me that he had bin seeing the pricket regularly and usually appeared in the field about 250y away from the milking parlor.
well that was that and we chatted for a while before i headed home to the kids.
not 5 min in the door when i got a phone call from my farmer, "come over quick that lad is back where he usually is".
so i jumped into the jeep and quick as a flash i was up in the farm yard.
i parked just inside the farm gates and walked over to the tree line beside the milking parlor and lay down on a raised bank of 804 left over from re laying the drive way into the yard.
sure enough there he was, just under the same tree as usual and just grazing away.
i steadied my self on the stones and watched the young animal threw the scope for a while and awaited for the perfect shot to present its self.
he was facing me so only one option. he lifted his dead for a look around and that was it i squeeze the trigger now lightened to about 1lb and with no effort it was all over. a thurrappp from the mod and a thump was all the noise that was made.
220y 75gr hollow point neck shot
and to make it even better the farmer was standing at the door of the milking parlor watching as it all happened. he said "jeasus paul that was some shot , it just dropped on the spot" so now he is happy and i have proven my worth to him as far as shooting is concerned anyway.
i am one happy camper with my new sako/trueflight from Fergal white
thanks Fergal0 -
