At Canouan we look forward to the onset of winter. We spend every other Saturday at the New House Shoot in Downton, Wiltshire. It is a small private shoot, with usually no more than ten guns. Not a great abundance of game, but enough to keep us all interested, and working hard. There is open land, woods, and wetlands so we find duck, pheasant, partridge, rabbits, and occasionally a fox or two. It's great fun, and we wouldn't rather do anything else.
