Fall day rooster.

Folks, I got out for a full day on the hunt for pheasant and it took all day too!
Me and the dog opened the day with a squirrel or two.
Here is Jess getting stuck in.



While resting up a little in some shade a crow swooped in on the drilled field to bath in a water filled tractor wheel trough just outside the tree line!



It was on my way back when I bumped into a group of pheasants and was I glad, I had just missed a bird the dog lifted with a rushed shot!
Any way i dropped the cock and got a whoosh from the pan, a pause, then boom! I had a little hang fire! Fortunately I hung on and followed through!



Of course loaded wrong! Wad on top of the shot :hatsoff:

Unless it's the camera angle, Jess seems to have grown a lot.

Nice bird.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good! We've all been there. Looks like you and your pal there had a great day out with the smoke pole.

Can you clarify what you mean?
I don't profess to be good however what has lucky got to do with it?

Well done Brit! Jess seems to be interested in the crow. 4 & 20 black birds baked into a pie, do they really eat crows? Very nice cock pheasant..........robin :wink:
