Walked Up Rabbit and Grouse Shooting over Spaniels

Although not strictly a COT video this weeks film is a recent trip to North Yorkshire to give "Ted" my young cocker spaniel some further experience on hunting rabbits in the heather and bracken of the moors. I also had the chance to try for a grouse which has been on my bucket list for many years. I must apologise in advance for my very awful shooting but I was feeling a bit "under the weather"...talking of which we were trying to shoot in gale force winds as we were battered by Storm Ophelia...hence I have reduced the sound volume on the film...Please subscribe for more shooting and gundog videos.

Ted about folded himself in half a few times ........ don't you just love that! Man those rabbits lay tight in the heather .... thought the one was going to run right up the back of Ted, using him as a springboard! Crazy action .... great film coverage ...... doesn't get too much better than that. Take care.

Mrs R is spot on about the video. Some great scenes, Ted looking through the bracken, rabbit jumping over him, and of course the Grouse.

[@troydroberts88]

That TED is something! I could watch him work all day, such drive, you can tell he loves working.

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Thanks Troy...he has been a dream to train and I am hoping his hunting just keeps on improving.

[@troydroberts88]

Nick Ridley when that hare jumped over him I was sure he'd at least flinch, he held great. Has to be reassuring he will hold when you need to take a shot.

[@SpanielshuntingtrialingNZ]

Nick that was your best video yet, loved the flushes, laughed when the rabbit jumped Ted and when you missed getting the double, it happens to the best of us.

[@rsturbo6958]

[@waynecarberry]

Excellent video. you have some control on your dog. well done on shooting your grouse its also my bucket list to shoot one

[@edgerat]

A real proper video, I love the countryside!!!

[@OllieMort]

What a brilliant video & that dog is something else. That flush on the rabbit where it turned 180 degrees was something else. It's safe to say your shooting on ground game needs worked on lol.

[@matthewt372]

That dog has a seriously good nose on him. Pleasure to watch. And a credit to you

[@natekoh8970]

What a cracking dog you have!

[@petercresswell5402]

Fran A becoming a bit of a TV star 😉

[@chrischanning4773]

That grouse was also a great shot

[@forcomgee9087]

Nice slow motion footage of a double flush on rabbits by the Cocker at 8 mins 17 seconds in

[@castrolgtx5064]

Thanks....

[@timkelly633]

Great stuff as always. Ted's doing a great job, just like his predecessor. You're having a good start to the season! How's he on ducks?

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Ted worked well nick have you retired harry from working

[@adamfurby7687]

Really enjoyed that cheers nick thanks for sharing it with us. Would love to do some walked up stuff like that. Would it be to much to ask if you buy your days or shoot over some of you perms mate ?

[@Pettycordgundogs]

adam furby Hi Adam....we buy some days and are lucky enough to get a few invites. Our bought days tend to be on the boundary’s of larger shoots but they are difficult to find as we do not want a load of birds as for us it is all about shooting over our dogs and the bag number is irrelevant.

[@adamfurby7687]

Nick Ridley would be the same for me mate bags irrelevant, shot a walk one stand one last weekend with max my ess and I enjoyed the walked drives more than being pegged out got to stunning cock birds and hare all day but went home happy. 👌🏼 again thanks for sharing it with us!
