We got up at 06.45, had coffee and rusks, then went out to walk up game birds over pointers.
Return to the lodge for lunch around 12.15.
Out to shoot pigeons on the sunflower fields from 13.00 until 16.30 and then hunting game birds again until dusk.
We picked up a few ducks on isolated pans (ponds) and had a dedicated day snipe shooting and wildfowling on some big lakes.
Kiri was great at the brai - we ate some of everything and Alan shot a wildebeest to provide a change from birds. We did not eat meat other than what we shot all week.
A really good bunch of guys. One guy (Alan) shot faultlessly with a 23" barreled vierling (four barrels - side-by-side 16-bore with a .22 hornet above and a 8x57R below. Who says short barrels don't work?!
Life is short, we need days like these! A few more photos here
