Not in the UK, I admit, but here we expect a weekend of trouble with wind and rain.
Just on the day we have a big shooting day in our forest :mad:

I feel your pain, third pheasant drive yesterday, we had a 15 minute deluge, and I mean deluge as appose to heavy rain, it dropped visiblility down to 50yards, JUST as the beaters caught up with the bulk of the birds.

12 shots and I manage to only drop one in the rain!

When the rain cleared, out came the sun! You gotta love the British weather.

:doh

Nice White Over wish we had some here I want to try the Jeep in some snow. On my fourth 4x4 now and only the 300 TE 4-matic & the Nissan r3mR saw any snow action !

P.S. When it snows my garden looks as good as next doors.lol

And now one of our beaters called in to say she does not have any transport and can't make it tomorrow (she lives 1h away, too far to go and get here here).
To make matters worse, she is running a highly efficient team of 3 springer spaniels - we'll have to make do I'm afraid...

[jims-terrano]

I've been busy all day and again tomorrow but driving home this afternoon I could see the snow on the hills not too far away:doh

Soooooooo tempting to go and play:doh

[don simon]

Snake Pass closed this morning and snow on the Peak District, snow in Manchester yesterday.
It's coming, yay!

Now wet and windy with 80 mph winds forecast for tomorrow.

Still got the Shorts on.....n a Beard for the warmth...:clap

So, full day out today. Had great fun, no rain at all, and the wind made the pheasants even more difficult than normal.

In other parts of the country though some people got badly hurt due to the weather...

[jims-terrano]

Have seen a load of beautiful photos from the Yorkshire Dales this weekend, even some of the exact track some of you guys were on a few weeks ago below Pen-Y-Ghent. Wished I could of been there.

[elty001]

Looks a bit different than three weeks ago.

We've missed all the fun there!!!!! :(

Yeah a very different experience laning in the snow,even the easiest of lanes can become quite a challenge.

Keep in mind this is a rough shoot, no driven pheasants, and only wild birds as releasing is a big no-no here in Flanders. As said, less dogs than I'd like.
Total bag if I remember correctly 15 pheasants and 3 hares, for 9 guns. We saw a lot more birds, and quite more roe deer than expected. So I have good hopes for deer season :). This is an average bag for the area.

2 foxes were spotted, but could not be shot safely, so they got away this time.

:eek:

No driven pheasant!

No releasing!

Already had one day at Ragley Hall, got another one coming up. Not major expensive days, just 100 bird days.

Rough shooting is good though, sounds like you had a good day.
