Partridgehunting in September 2004.

Mellstaby is typical grounds for partridge. The nature is perfect for them to survive in: nice fields, plenty of food in the edges and sugarbeets. Well, I would like to live there if I was a partridge...

The pictures below are a small part of 19th of September, just a ordinary huntingday in Mellstaby, our own huntingground in the very south of Öland.

Babben is pointing... and retrieves her partridge.

Babben, full speed ahead in the sugarbeets.

The sugarbeet-ground is rather BIG!

Carma on point... but unfortunately the hunter missed! But who cares, there are more birds in the grounds!

Carma pointing again, Petter and Nicke shoots one partridge each.

Carma retrieving the first...

... and here comes next!

Time for next situation.

That´s all, folks!
