We are lucky to be about on our own shoot several times a week. Usually it is to feed our Ducks and Pheasants or it may be to check release pens, laying pens, feeders, drinkers, traps or it may be to control Rabbits and other Vermin. Sometimes we find the time to do a bit of shooting and here are a few of our pictures.
