Nick, great video. Real world rough shooting. I find that if you can catch them early on the muntjac they soon learn to ignore them. We have loads here in herefordshire.
Thanks Nick😀. A good account of a typical hunt. Our dogs make mistakes, we make mistakes and if we didn't enjoy the good stuff, a good find and flush, a good shot and retrieve we would take up another sport. Those Muntjac look like oversize Rabbits in the video, how tempting for Twig.
All the dogs seemed to know it was the last walk-up hunt of the season! They all wanted in on whatever action was about! 😅 Good approach : enjoy the day and fix the issues later.
Thanks for your kind words. This wasn’t my first woodcock this season but it will be my last! In fact Twig also flushed a couple but I couldn’t get a shot, they are the most testing of quarry for dog and Gun. Take care cheers Nick
Thank you for your kind words. I don’t think I would change breed, I like the character of the cockers although they can drive you mad sometimes 😂 My first gundog was springer and I enjoy watching all gundog breeds but cockers just make me smile. Cheers Nick

They are a bloody nightmare! Her Dad “Percy” was just as bad but we got him sorted….guess what I will be doing over the coming weeks 😉 🏃 cheers Nick
Loads of dogs called ‘come here‘.😂😂
And yet they can all differentiate between the sounds.
And none of them know their names 😂
Really enjoyed the video and its always good to see when things go a bit wrong 👍👍
Thank you …I have always been willing to show when things go wrong. Cheers Nick
Nick I thoroughly enjoy your videos and I hope your Mom’s health continues to improve!! Ted, Percy, and Twig are terrific dogs!!
Thank you, Mum is a lot better now and thanks for your kind words about the dogs. Cheers Nick
Brilliant stuff quick recovery to your mum

Thank you, it was a good day and some memories made and they can’t be taken away! Cheers Nick
Super film Nick, det er hvad gundog er altid noget at arbejde med😀
Great video Nick thanks for sharing, just a quick question what mode of shooting car do you use now?
I have a VW Caddy now, cheap to run and easy to get stuck on the mud 😂 Maybe time for another Landrover ! Cheers Nick
Thank you Nick! Glad to see you're alright. Praying for you and your family. Is that you first woodcock this season?
Thanks for your kind words. This wasn’t my first woodcock this season but it will be my last! In fact Twig also flushed a couple but I couldn’t get a shot, they are the most testing of quarry for dog and Gun. Take care cheers Nick
17 minutes about the reality of some of those days you have.
Warts and All! Cheers Nick
Love your videos nick, will you ever swap to pointer / setter/ springer ?
Thank you for your kind words. I don’t think I would change breed, I like the character of the cockers although they can drive you mad sometimes 😂 My first gundog was springer and I enjoy watching all gundog breeds but cockers just make me smile. Cheers Nick
