[shooter]

This was the last driven hunt of the season.You can see me standing in the line of guns.



Final result. I am in the barn with my share.



I am with a few of my hunting buddies. The only sxs you see has been brought 12 hours ago just for this shoot by my friend who usually shoots o/u.



My friends dog. The unsung heroes of hunting.


A good walked up shoot comprising a mixed bag. Shot between 5 guns.


First shoot of the season


After a days feretting and walked up shooting.


after a moderate night of pest control.



Typical countryside that we shoot in.

A few mixed pics from other shoots:












Some friends say i go OTT with camo. I dont agree. Tell me what you think. Hope you can spot me in the pic.



See the results of good camo for yourselves:





Record 23 geese in 2 hours.

My darlings:




I am sorry about the quality. Most pics were taken in field conditions. Plus somehow they have been cut on one side while uploading. Dont know how/why.


I would also like to take to thank Vikram, grumpy,hamiclar and MoA for their support, help and guidance.
These pics are only possible because of them and are dedicated to them.

Lovely snaps shooters. I love the way you guys dress up for the hunts. So formal.
Quite a collection of guns and rifles you have and some nice trophies to go with them.

Great Pictures!

Your dress is quite formal by our standards.
What shotguns were you using? And are you required to use non-toxic shot.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Dear Inder,i dont know about that particular hide but if you are here in season and the moon/tide etc are right, i will take you for a duck flight with me. You will most probably also get a few shots at them (depending on luck). How many you manage to bring down is upto you.

Dear hunter 65,

I am a small shooter and dont use any fancy guns. I am happy with my guns because they do the job in that if i point at something, it comes down more often than not.
I always say I'd rather hit with a cheap gun than miss with an expensive one.
my choice of guns has been mentioned in a few threads before and most recently in the sxs vs o/u thread.

But i will just reiterate for you:

clays: my browning b425.

driven and walked up: browning

wildfowling ducks in marsh and estury: webley and scott semi auto
Wildfowling for duck in a pond: browning

Goose shooting: lincoln 10 bore sxs 3.5 inch 1.5 -2 ounce AAA or BB or no 1 shot. I can assure you it does a humane kill.

Really rough use or to lend to someone as a backup : classic doubles

Pigeon: webley semi

ferreting: browning

It has been my wish to use the 10 bore for foxing. hopefully will try that soon.

Non toxic is banned for all wildfowling and for any shooting if the shot may fall on a waterbody.

Shooter bhaiya I guess UK has no bag limit right? Nice snap BTW. These pics makes me wanna keep running til I reach UK or USA lol. I wish I could do that. I'm sure I'll dream about hunting tonight

Goto the US.
Trust me you'll never regret it.
I'd do the same if I could.

Nice Pics....I guess some of our friends have also asked, I am just curious as to why you guys are all dressed up to go for a party.
We are not used to seeing that here and believe me if ever you come here to hunt.....don't get that outfit here as you might be the center of attention rather than the birds.
I hope I can take that liberty to write about you Dev, If I have offended you, I apologize.
