Tower Watch




Saturday morning sat in a high tower with 3 good clearings to keep an eye on. Pictures taken just before sun up with the alarm setting off at 3 am to start the proceedings. Although everything looked promising no Fallow or Roe appeared in front of me. Two Fallow were shot earlier.
I've got until the end of April to try and bag a Fallow buck.
The .243 was checked on a range later that morning and all ok, so hopefully I'll get a chance.

Have I done the right thing!



Saturday just gone involved a trip down to East Sussex to take Cody to her new home. After months of deliberations I came to the conclusion that she needed a home that could look after her without any doubts so off to Tim's we went.


Cody is 6 this year and I wanted her to have pups before it was too late, unfortunately I could not cater for this as work would get in the way, doesn't it always, plus as it is a one man house there would be no one around during the working week to look after pups etc.


It is a big heart wrench to give a dog away, it was not a nice drive home at all and the house seems a lot quieter without her.


I do hope that at some stage she is able to have pups as I would love to have one of her off spring as do need a trained up gun dog to replace Charlie who has retired from the front line. He even struggles now on a decent walk. It would be a great pleasure to train one of her pups so fingers crossed.

Here's to Cody.
