One of my fav days of the year.

I wish 🙁

will hear tales of daring do in the pub tomorrow night though.

I’ll have had four days this year. Bought day at Urra, a day coming near Doncaster and two beaters. Yeehaw

thats not real shooting, its shooting for people that think you can buy social class..

Eh?

Hmm, IME a beaters day is most definitely not for those with pretensions to either money or class.

As opposed to the type where they don’t, aka poaching.

What’s your point caller?

keep the **** of my land lol.

Is this about bird shoots ? where practically hand reared birds are driven towards you to be shot easily out of the sky ?pointless greedy and barbaric !!

Yup, we’ve got 3 days coming up 😀

Well 2 half days and a full day.

Tomorrow we’re on one shoot in the morning and then popping off at lunch time for a duck drive at another shoot we beat at, my son and my grandson can’t wait, a good reward for all their efforts this season.

I hope you’re vegetarian coming out with this. For one they aren’t easy to shoot and two its no more barbaric than buying shit chicken from the supermarket.

Yeah. Real easy… It’s like a spot the ball competition.

basicly its shooting by numbers its not a sport. its not really country side, its tossers from london in green wellies.

Ha hah

That is all.

Work colleague is off on her first live hunt tomorrow, she’s baking cakes

Funny thing is she’s a veggie and keeps trying to justify it all to us

Brother in law had 6 pheasants in his freezer over Xmas, his mate runs a shoot in Cheshire
They get less than a quid per bird at the butchers iirc so just chuck away most of them

rough shooting is real shooting, this is crap, unless you did it as a kid and grew up in it you wouldn’t get it. going to a driven shoot is much akin to riding a BSO that you bought from halfords.

Ooh faux pas. Don’t call it a hunt. We’re not american 😉

Chuck them away? 200 average that’s still a keepers weekly wage.

Sten. ok whatever.

The quid was for the ones they could sell,most butchers not bothered there’s obviously a lot of demand to kill game birds on the Wirral, just not much to eat them !

Any spare pheasants chuck ’em over ‘ere. Ta. 😀

Game dealer takes all ours. Usually 100 brace. Don’t agree with not using them. Even if given away 🙁

There’s plenty of struggling families who’d appreciate them. Absolutely no need for food to be wasted.

I’ve got a freezer full of game, given to me from beating days this season, It’ll last us a good few months and saves us a fortune on our food bills.

And more and more often you are driven towards the birds in a 4×4 along a bulldozed track to save you having to walk. Well it’s only countryside, who cares about creating big nasty scars all over the place, they’ve got some farmed things to shoot.

Not to mention all the raptors and other wildlife poisoned and killed in the process. But hey, it makes a few people a few quid so it’s all good.

If you are doing it for sport then it is just as barbaric as bear bating or dog fighting. If you are honestly doing it for food then, I don’t know how you can kill animals just for the pleasure of eating meat.

It’s all about controlling numbers don’t you know. What about all those that get hit by cars? Shame their natural hunters can’t do the job

I could equally reply I don’t know how you can eat meat that you haven’t killed. If you’re going to eat a dead animal you should have the respect for it and balls to kill it

It’s all good when it’s a faceless intensive reared packet in ASDA.

PPS. That’s a live update from drive 3 where I’m 6 for 7
