Walked Up Rough Shooting with Spaniels

It has been a strange shooting season with so many days cancelled. I was lucky enough to be asked by my local gamekeeper to join him on a walk about day on the last day of the season. It took me a while to get my eye in and I think Ted has gone rather feral during his time off so it will be back to “boot camp” for him this summer!

I could watch your wee dog all day . Next best thing to being out there .

[@jackhall1696]

I love your videos and sadly I didn’t do much walked up shooting over the lockdown but it’s good that you have. I hope that your dog is well prepared for the next shooting season and I think that you a really good dog trainer because that is a brilliant good gundog

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Thanks Jack...we will have to go back to some basics with Ted but is was good to see him enjoy his day as much as I did. Cheers Nick

I love your 2 dogs Ted and Percy great characters

Best sort of shooting spaniel side by side and massive cartridge bag great to see ted

[@stuartwelford7562]

Terrific video. Ted is really persistent on difficult retrieves. You're a lucky man with your dogs.

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Thanks for your kind words, I still have my "heart in my mouth" when Ted is out on difficult retrieves but he really knows his job and can't wait to get him up on the rabbits later this year. Cheers Nick

Love watching Ted work. Hope you're keeping well Nick.

[@Pettycordgundogs]

All is good thanks Dan and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers Nick

I heard lots of laughter, I think if dogs could laugh Ted would have been too, 😀. Awesome finish to the season.

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Thanks Howie...it was a rare opportunity this season and one that I really enjoyed. I did have a chat with "Ted" and I am sure he will be back to normal for next season! Cheers Nick

[@darellkettley6622]

That looked a brilliant walked up day!! Ted seemed to love it 🐶 great watch well done .👌👊

[@wayne59]

Always enjoyable watch. Hope percy fit and well great to see ted again. Stay safe.

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Thanks Wayne Percy is fit and well and should get a new video out this coming week. As they say "watch this space" cheers Nick

[@AMBMBLUE]

Who needs a lab?! Ted is a fantastic dog in a real world video. Percy has a lot to live up too - I'm sure he will get there.! Thanks for all the training tips. I'll persevere and hope my Milo gets there.

Good end of season shoot, looks like you had an enjoyable if wet day.

Great video to end the season

[@markundrill6480]

Great video great to watch 👍

[@oaklindphoto]

Lovely work there mate!

[@davidcaul7836]

Great stuff just one thing just think you shoot to early with your first shoot that is why you hit most of your birds with your second barrel love the video keep them coming

[@Pettycordgundogs]

Hi David...I think you are quite right I do tend to go quickly with the first barrel and I think this doesn't allow for the shot pattern to open properly, especially as the chokes are quite tight on the gun. I think it has become an instinct because we shoot in so much woodland and I feel I need to get that first shot away quickly before the bird gets away amongst the trees. Could save my self a fortune on cartridge's if I was to slow down! All the best cheers Nick

[@neilbrailsford1888]

Wow. Well done. @Nick what camera are you using?

Go Pro Hero 8. Cheers Nick

[@terrymortimer4402]

Brilliant end to the season. Hope you weren't carrying all those birds you shot all day!!

[@lylepetts8469]

I’ve watched a few of your videos, how you get any enjoyment pillowcasing things on the end of your barrel is beyond me, your dog works well and yes before you say anything I’ve done a fair amount of walked up/rough shooting, some of then I wouldn’t bother putting the gun up to

[@georgegreaves9779]

Why the need for negative comments? This is clearly an end of season walked up day with everyone having a good time. If they are safe shots then why the need to comment about pillow casing? If you only shoot 40 yard screamers out rough shooting then fantastic and good luck to you, leave others to enjoy their sport how they see fit. As someone that can't get out at the moment, these videos are fantastic.

@@georgegreaves9779 the whole point of game shooting is sport, I’ve been on so many beaters days etc when people just blow them up Cus they can, I’ve just never seen the point

Wow your a barrel of fun Lyle Petts, note to self never to give you an invite 🤭🤭

@@robertmitchell9415 what Cus I mock shooting easy birds? And question how you get any enjoyment out of that, alright mate 😂

@@lylepetts8469 good luck to you sir! I'm sure your a awfully good shot and could show us all how it should be done, until then we will keep plodding on just enjoying the day out with good company 😘
