For me it was a somber hunt, while Da was laying in his hospitable bed waiting out the inevitable ,I refused to leave but the rest of the family ganged up on me to go home and rest...I did,or at least tried - and just couldn't close my eyes, even though I had been up for couple days .
There was only one obvious thing to do,grab Heiko and my parker 16 VH and head to a favorite piece of ground ,I kept the cell phone on me just in case ....well in a short hour's walk I put up twenty birds and dropped I recall 7 ,the stress of the past few days was lifting ever so slightly , until I checked the phone and seen I was out of service ...in a panic I beat it out ,to where I regained signal and quick call reassured me he was still here .
I thanked the skipper for the quick shooting and day I will never forget
