Opening Day

Victoria · Opening Day

Our opening day dawned very cold with snow on the foot hills (our mountain obscured in snow cloud). The daily bag in our province is two cock ringnecks a day...within two hours we had our bag...Gaston flushed another two and we saw a hen. Gaston will be three at the end of June...he is hunting as the breed was intended - his persistence and thorougness is breathtaking! Have orders for rump feathers from a flytyer and tail feathers from a friend who is a fashion designer...I have yet to convince her to design proper shooting apparel for ladies!

Well, the season drew to its all too rapid conclusion with wailing and gnashing of teeth yesterday...now the dreary slog until next time. Hopefully, our wet weather will settle to allow the hens to work on the next batch...vive le Breton, vive le Faisan!!!!!
