  1. Brexit resulted in a replacement of immigrants who look like us and have values like ours, with those that, errr……don’t.
  2. Goshawks were illegally released to establish our current population so the practice is nothing new. Likewise no doubt for Euro Eagle Owl, although less successfully
  3. Perfectly justifiable. HM government should have the highest quality material even if just for the image.
  4. We need some immigrants, probably lots of immigrants. But they should have been given a guest worker status of a fixed term, after that see ya. No passport, no right to stay indefinitely.
  5. I kind of missed read your post. There is a West Yorkshire wildfowling club, of the same name. They shoot south shore of the Humber, which is north Lincolnshire, not sure if they have any shooting in West Yorkshire.
  6. West Yorkshire doesn’t have any foreshore, so there will be no wildfowling clubs. But might be a syndicate or two shooting inland areas so worth asking around.
  7. Not surprised the geese wouldn’t commit when you are behind a bit of nesting like that first morning. Cannot see the whole hide, but geese would have noticed it if it was all like that. When you were tucked into real cover the geese committed is how I read it? sounds like a very good trip, and it shouldn’t be about shooting a truck full every flight anyway.
  8. Never, dedicated footie. But I have followed fox hounds on foot, likewise Mink hounds and Beagles. Even been know to whip in a bit. ******** to that
  9. I love fox hunting, just wish there was a lot more of it. Trails are painfully boring unless you are in the mounted field out for a gallop. Only thing better than a good fox hunt would be a good otter hunt. Got to turn the clock back a long way for that though. Tally Ho
  10. Alarm at 17:30. Always snooze for 8mins. Six paces to lovely hot shower. Get dressed. About 40 steps to the office for a shift handover at 18:00 but usually detour to the galley to pick up a coffee. Then back to the galley with my colleague to continue our ‘handover’ official shift start at 19:00. Nothing happening in my department so in the cinema for 19:30 to watch a movie. Go through to 07:00 on shift. switch over day today, night to day shift. Bit of a killer for the body clock to adjust to days but I find taking melatonin helps me a lot. Saw daylight today for the first time in a week.
  11. Saves you right for shooting it
  12. Saw little trick on a YouTube video for a quick conversion from grey goose to Canada goose decoys. Cheap black socks! Run over the head and neck of the decoys, splash of white paint on each cheek ( I guess white tape would work), and hey presto, a Canada Goose decoy. They certainly looked convins from a moderate distance.
