Instagram star Dan Thor has been invited to a lovely driven partridge and pheasant day by his friend Fred the Gamekeeper. He’s decided to leave his usual Miroku in the cabinet today, and he’s shooting an old favourite Browning 525. The wind is playing havoc with the birds, and Dan is out of the action for some of the drives. He finishes on a high, though, with some lovely shots at partridges and pheasants against the setting sun. And he has a trick or two to play on his mate Fred at the end of the day, too.
