  1. Aya 10g matador. Fixed choke Sling loops Great condition Barrels painted to protect against the salt Originally bought from tidepool wildfowling Will come with cartridges £600
  2. Browning b2000 semi auto 12g Solid built Belgium gun, not plastic. Great condition. Fixed 1/2 choke. £300 Any questions, just ask. Based in Plymouth.
  3. These are a mix of correx and plywood.
  4. Dug out my old home made decoys from back of garage yesterday. Gave them a wipe and was up at first light for a nearby stubble field. 51 crows on the deck, 6 to pick later in next field. Home for 9am and breakfast.
  5. I grew up on a farm in the area around shep whites and Lincolnshire marshes. My dad bought a hammer action 12 bore from one of kenzies shooting partners. He used to tell us stories of their trips out. I remember having to get rid of the gun when they tightened up on licensing lol.. The year I got my first gun, and got a police check, dad sold all his. A different era.
  6. Either try removing the membrane by cutting it off or use smaller cubes of meat but nearly frozen. Super cold meat does make a difference. I try to remove silver membrane as much as possible before grinding.
  7. Its about 50 per cent game. There is rusk in there also. 👍
  8. Its simple enough to do .. i only have a grinder from lidl.. comes with the bits you need to make sausages. We had some sweet chilli canada ones last week my partner made. She did a good job to be fair lol.
  9. Having a freezer clear out and made these for friends who wanted to try game. Sausages for the bbq. Canada goose, pinkfoot, mallard, a lone widgeon and pork. All in one yummy sausage. Made three coils worth.
  10. Still for sale. Great price for a fantastic gun .
  11. Hi guys. For sale is my titan air rifle.. the diving bottle has already been sold. I simply dont have the time to use it. Happy to send more pics etc. . Thanks for looking.
  12. Thanks. Appreciate it.
  13. Im glad it's all worked. I look forward to getting a new pup, next season now though, dont want to rush it.
  14. I have a post in the wildfowling section that explains what happened to Willow, title Sad Loss. On looking through my camera, I have found footage of our last flight together in Feb this year. I was planning on gathering more clips this season and making a decent video but it was not to be.
  15. I have found footage of her last flight. Not much shooting in it but its a flight all the same. Will post in the video section.
  16. I have a lurcher who is anxious when left so it's extra hard at minute as he doesn't have company. No other shooting dog though. Will get another one in the future but not yet. I think those who don't shoot, dont have the same bond. She used to sit there every Saturday morning, in rain and wind and just listen. She helped me through a divorce and other personal issues (always women related!) by just listening. I get her ashes next week so can say goodbye properly.
  17. Thanks for comments
  18. Thanks for comments
  19. Sorry.. . Didn' mean to post twice. Can this be removed?
  20. An old dog, i can kind of understand. But 7 isnt old. I've had a rough few years with divorce etc and she was always willing to sit in a muddy creek or reed bed and just listen .

    Sad loss

    For those that know me, I shoot in the south west but travel all across the UK for my wildfowling and shoot with a number of different clubs.. I have a number of wildfowling videos on YouTube and if you type in sjb685, some will come up. Unfortunately, have to give it all up for awhile... on Sunday my 7 yr old lab, the most amazing wildfowling dogs I've ever had the pleasure to shoot with, looked slightly off colour in the kennel. We did our normal walk, she swam in the river and fetched a few dummies out of the tide, wagging her tail joyfully each time she returned one. On the walk back..i noticed her stomach was swollen but not affecting her. I thought fat cow has eaten the other dogs food also! Next day, we repeated the walk, swim etc.. she just didn't look right so popped up to vets... We sat there and waited. She wagged her tail, looking at me as if to say, theres nothing wrong dad, why we here. Vet called us in. I explained why we were there.. they took her for an ultrasound to listen to her belly... I was called into another room and told her belly was full of blood, she was bleeding out and wont make it till morning. I broke down in vets and obviously was saying what are you talking about ?? Shes fine.! She had a tumour on her spleen that caused her to bleed internally. Too late for surgery and I needed to say goodbye. An hour ago she was in the river swimming.. she was so desperate to please , always willing to work , would do anything you asked, right till the end. Holding her still, looking into her eyes while the vet injected her was the hardest thing I've ever done. Im waiting for the ashes but will scatter her across our favourite marsh Rest in peace Willow and always make the most of every trip out with your companion as it may be their last. She was my best friend, never offered advice, never criticised, just listened.
