Small family party's been reported since mid October and definitely picking up momentum now. 50 in a regular haunt in Norfolk and last Tuesday when i was as about to climb and pollard a tree a 9 then 30 Bewick's followed by 52 Whitefront flew direct overhead heading towards Welney.

Harry my advice is scouting scouting and more scouting. When i decoyed very regularly i always try ( unless who i was guiding had never shot wings cupped paddles down Geese ) i would sometimes be two fields away on the flight line also get in early kills your geese and let em feed. Sorry mixture of both feeding and head's up . Hence my long winded scouting comment. Good luck what ever Species' and county๐

Correct and a little detail many seem not want read or understand is from 1st September till January 31st they are covered by the Wildfowl act eg NO use of FAC Shotguns but from 1st February to 31 August they can shot under a General License

Yes John keen as ever. I've successfully used a 20 Bore for Geese on numerous English and Scottish foreshore. Yes still a Member of GYWA. and will be heading in that direction within the next two weeks to start the Wild Goose chase ๐ Ken ( op ) a 3" chamber will do you just fine . Gamebore RC and Fiocchi have all worked well for me personally i go for pattern and penertration using 3 or 1 shot. Having said that i reload most of my cartridges. Good luck what ever you choose to use ๐

Evening John. If geese could talk they would certainly be moaning/warning their family and friends about the bloke with a 20 Bore using 15/16oz Steel Cartridges to very good effect Sunday morning ๐คญ๐

Try putting Steel shot in first and tss on top as that is supposed to give tighter patterns ๐ -
TSS Goose Load - Youtube
6.5x55SE replied to CumbrianWildfowler's topic in Bullets, Cartridges and Reloading
Very interesting ๐ I personally use 1oz in a 70mm for my 12ga . Not sure but i got some small load steel wads that hardly use any packers. My 20ga 3" case and 15/16oz load . For my brother i load 13/16oz in 28ga. Whilst i agree absolutely eye opening what tss can do when placed in the right ๐ BUT my biggest gripe so many today think load tss and it turns them into 100yrd George Digweeds ๐ก๐ก My honest opinion if you can't kill geese cleanly at range you have no right to be Spray and Praying with tss. Watched your video and have subscribed to your channel Thank you for sharing and taking your time and effort to produce ๐ค๐ -
100% each winter small/odd Skien of European White front ( and Greenland White front ) are around Lancashire with Pink feet. Yes I'd agree Suffolk Norfolk Kent offer better chances even those areas you need luck good goose id skills and proper wildfowling weather across the channel to push numbers over to increase your chances.
