Moving to a different country is mega when it comes to getting everything in place to shoot over your dogs, find access to grounds and hook up with likeminded people. Today Mavis and I made a start (it being the first day of the season) by shooting our first duck, with a new gun, with the first shot and giving Mavis her first live bird retrieve 😁 A fabulous sunny day when hunters could be heard from dawn to dusk and which followed a huge mid week rain storm which in a timely way had swelled the rivers and filled all the ponds. Yay! The surprised face says it all 🤣
