Ah you do , had a old fox red lab , walks down from his house near the bus stop.

I'm up at the weekend , chap up the lane from tarbat might be interested in that , you will know him 👍

I had a really easy book to follow written by Eric begbie, think it was gundogs for beginners, really enjoyed training my dogs with the steps in the book .

Go the full hog mate , they is a Browning waterfowl on guntrader , buy cheap buy twice as the saying goes . All the best for 2019

Try Barton upon humber wildfowling club, that's run well I did join it a few years ago. I found them very friendly and a helpful club , only reason I dropped out was that I rented some duck flight ponds near my house.

You can get the data off clay and game for £1 , easy transaction just pay through PayPal, and it comes as a PDF.

My mate has just purchased a greener boxlock non ejector 8b from the states . He didn't have any problems , think he paid £1500 tax to import it into the UK. Had no issues at all and it came very fast .

I tried it yrs ago in a very old 10b , I used the Winchester card cup system and wrapped it to protect my barrel , as I couldn't use plas wads nothing would fit down the barrel . Yeah it worked but I don't think I could get it going fast enough , maybe a plas wad might have helped .

He is probably thinking a cold snap up north may fetch a few to his borders ?

Most I've seen in a good few yrs on the northern firths , shores are black with them at high water .

Picked a interesting wad up yesterday on a sandy shore, it was a 3 1/2 clay and game wad , (un slit) with 5mm steel shot still embedded in the base of the wad , and it had perforated the wad badly ! I always try to pick my wads up and empties, and others if I find them , the less people see the better .

Anything American army goretex , I've got a us marines digital woodland camo jacket. Really expensive to buy , but they do turn up on the bay in the UK and at a fair price . Uk troops fetched them back after Afghanistan.

I might have some once fired cases kicking about , if they are any good to you ?

Have you up graded to a 10b tom ?

Just come back from a week up north , weather was great ! Nice to wander out with no leggings on or big jackets . Geese must have felt the same , very late coming off the shore , and early back to the shore . Really nice steady flights , it will all change this weather can not last forever, clocks change soon, days will be shorter .

Luck of the draw , it could be you this year!

I've seen them often over the years on your doorstep , never in numbers , seen a pair on loch fleet last year with the pinks . Only place I've known them shot by people I know is on the humber , both years when we had cold weather 2010,2011 seasons .

Two good sized skeins flew by today over north Notts heading down to the wash , and a friend of mine has already bagged one today up north . Game on 👍

That's what I thought , I can assure you he wasn't selling me any .

Not done rhino , did half a dozen 12b mammoth, and they was spot on the published speed over a f1 chrono.

Ah got some from some another place , had rate laugh with clay and game yesterday! They have nothing in stock these days , I was only an hr from the shop , and they had some powder I wanted . Told me I need my shotgun cert now to buy gunpowder , probably understandable these days in this country .?

A lot of folk have with no joy, he blocked tarbat off with bales one year, the guys in campers ruined it shooting under the moon , I was their, that was the final straw. i just travel light these days and walk the extra miles , he is watching mind, I’ve seen him out , as he does shoot himself .

Spot on that , his Mrs is crackers she stopped me on several occasions, but we are on talking terms , I still walk down so do alot of others .

Have you tried kev up your way mate? Gaep UK
