I met a fellow over drinks on Friday last. The normal small talk picked up considerably when he told me he took up training a Visla during COVID. He only got his hunting license to help train the dog. He was hoping to find other guns but wasn't having much luck....
Well.....
One thing led to another and I cancelled my Monday meeting to go hunt with Pax, a two year old Visla. Life is short and meetings are boring! Anyways, had to help a fellow out
It was muddy, I slid inelegantly into a river. My shooting was marginal having not used my O/U in a bunch of years. That was annoying because I was extremely comfortable with that gun before, and dropped a lot of birds with it. But I redeemed myself with the last bird. The pheasant flushed behind us in a great flurry. I was able to turn onto it very instinctually and dropped it cleanly. I looked like a pro with that one which is all that really matters
We bagged a few chukars, a quail and that pheasant over the course of the morning. Great fun and I am very thankful for the opportunity.
