Amy and Jay go hunting...

Afternoon all,

This morning, saturday, me and the missus took Jay and Amy to one of Jay's favourite walks. We took him to the Rabbitfield. This is a field where Jay does his best to control the rabbit population by killing them all. Normally in witer there aren't a lot of rabbits about.

This morning though as soon as we got in the field we saw a bunch of hunters on the other side of the river. So after the dogs had a run around and a few dumps they became very interested in what was going on on the other river bank...

The first few shots had them a bit worried but when the first shot bird landed on our side of the river the fun started. Some of the birds weren't quite dead yet, so they had a good time ensuring that they were dead... hahahaha....

Here they are charging back after trying to get at one that fell in the river...

Here is one of the guys taking aim on a pheasant cock... He did get it...
One of the men shooting shouted across the river if we wanted anything we could just pick up what we wanted. Jackie picked out a nice partridge...
I think this was the frst time that Amy had been near a hunt and she seemed to enjoy it big time... Both of them didn't really want to go back home... Tomorrow we are taking her to another of Jay's favourite walks, Bridgestreet Forest. Should be good for a laugh or two as that place is full of deer...

OK, gotta go, off for a curry in a bit,

Cheerio,

Alex.
