Off shooting today ,first day of the season . I haven't managed a full day for a couple of yrs due to health reasons but today I'm hopeful , I'm feeling fitter now than I have for yrs .
Its that mixture of nerves, concentration and ultimately and satisfaction when they work well. Complete escapism. Until they disappear into the next county on their own private pheasant hunt.Gotta say watching dogs work, (whatever their job is) certainly helps keep your mind off the hum drum of normal life.
Fabulous ears. Your own re-creation of Snaffles, "The finest view in England "( except that I appreciate that you may well be in Scotland!Hunting , seeing bits of country like this( @Hilly ’s backyard!). Hound work, and out on the horse, that’s all I need !View attachment 995151

Just getting quotes. 40 foot high top to Kenya £ 5000 more expensive than last year though. My spare time is spent finding machinery to fill it. And spending quality time with my son dismantling it although this is mainly because my daughter refuses to go back to England to do it.A container is not even half that
Good days far but birds not getting up ....still going though !Perfect day to return to the fold. I hope it went well come 5pm...?
OK......Pub quizzes for me, do one or two a week.
We do a version called SpeedQuizzing were each team has an iPad and answer on that within 10 seconds so it cuts out Google and cheating.
We often compete against regular teams and one of those teams contains a local auctioneer/land agent/farmer, a couple of years ago a question came up…
How many acres in a square mile
A) 6.4
B) 64
C) 640
D) 6400
Amazingly he got it wrong and we got it right and I never let him forget it, I told his wife who is a customer of mine and I told everyone else in East Yorkshire
If its your own dog definitely nerves, but also them just doing what they were born to do, whether it's a collie herding sheep, a lab picking up, a terrier bottling it's quarry underground or what ever and really enjoying it. I wish I enjoyed my job as much as the dogsIts that mixture of nerves, concentration and ultimately and satisfaction when they work well. Complete escapism.
