  4. Top result Edenman πŸ‘ hope to see another Moon flight wright up with the up coming moon 🀞
  5. Yes i had a Winchester 23 supposed to be 1/4 and 1/2 choke but kept fluttering Geese and Duck down with the 1/4 choke got it checked out it was True cylinder so moved it on. I to wish you the very best when you get yourself out πŸ‘
  6. πŸ‘πŸ‘ Man of my own heart Aya no 1/4 choke Eley 1-5/8oz 3's 1/2 choke Winchester 1-7/8 4's ( our 3's) but like yourself plenty of the 2's . And now same choke's and mainly Steel 3's and 2's 😊
  7. Have a very good New Year 🍻🀝 i wish you many flights with success from now till February 20th . Next time you post make sure you're successful spot can be seen by Pictures and give a detailed description πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ only joking keep posting and knocking em down πŸ‘πŸ‘
  8. Can't speak for others but in no way was my reply a Dig at yourself for posting your excellent results in fact it was the opposite. It was refreshing to see you Threads and i personally enjoy/enjoyed reading yours. I'm sure you would agree in general us Wildflowers are a lonely secretive bunch and when we do post ( as you done) we give nothing away. πŸ‘πŸ‘
  9. Totally agree πŸ‘ 🀫
  10. Edenman excellent results well done to you both πŸ‘ what a way to end 2023 i wish you the very best of luck to the start of 2024. 🀞
  11. Excellent results well done πŸ‘ Just my opinion but for myself Moon Flights are the very best sport to be had . Have a good Christmas and hopefully a few more moon flights over the Christmas period
  12. If you let me know when you are thinking of going I'll check tides and weather for you and point you in a safe easy direction for you to have a flight. Well done for asking questions rather than going blind and getting in trouble. πŸ‘
  13. As Pushandpull. Contact one of the club official members who would sort you someone to guide take you out. Failing that do a flight off a gradgebank ( as you are not allowed to shoot from the seawall ) then explore the area after flight is over. Don't ever cross a creek you can't step over be very aware of tides . Gate 4 and 5 offer very easy access onto the marsh but be very aware those two areas will flood behind you on decent tides ( not for the inexperienced wildfowler ) . IMHO you are far better learning the marsh yourself than being guided because a few years ago ( not saying you would do this) i took a member out who would have had a excellent flight had he shot well. The very next i noticed two lights up down across and back in the marsh . Although not a big tide where these two was walking about i knew they would be safe but stuck on the marsh. After my successful flight I walked within 20 yards of guess who Yep the novice I'd taken out the previous morning now with his mate. After I'd given them a good talking to i guided them to a point with care, chestwaders and plenty nerve you could wader this creek to my side and just to make a point i made them wade two more Creeks wet absolutely covered in mud back at the vehicle the one I'd guided the morning before admitted he was desperate to get at the Geese and thought he knew enough after one flight oh really First he had walked right instead of left. Then crossed creeks he could not step over got lost and was walking around in circles. Had he taken notice of the previous morning walk left etc you don't even step over a creek. No life is worth a Goose or Duck respect the tides weather and marsh at all times.
  14. Evening Mark good to see and hear you are okay after your fall πŸ‘ Well done getting a Pink well deserved 🀝 I myself had not one but two incidents (1) Crossing a wooden none sided bridge over a very large creek thankfully only my ego was dented i to was rewarded by shooting a Pink. (2) cut my middle finger with a Stanley Carpet Blade now that did and still does smart . Shot at a Pink 6 days later hurt like I'd cut it again and started bleeding. 😭 But as us hardened Wildfowler' s do carry on chasing them Geese. Have a good Christmas keep knocking em down πŸ‘
  15. Well done Dave πŸ‘ always good to get the first of the season in the bag early. Several around south but no big numbers yet. Have a successful season.
  16. Personally I'd email Swarovski as they sent me free of charge rubber for Scope and Binoculars in the past πŸ‘

    Pinks

    Another 80+ Pink's arrived during the day Friday 8-9-2023

    Pinks

    I agree about some of the bird's and mammals in fact for two days till they was rescued a adult with calf Dolphin was in the Ouse River at Earith 3-4 miles from where i live. Most geese eg Barnacle Snow Egyptian which breed in the wild now are from Stately Homes the odd Pink White Front are reported from collections. Before I'd ever shot a September Pink and was keen do so i spent many hours and miles trying to achieve my ambition ( I refused to go to Scotland) finally i shot my first and second ( R&L) on September 5th several years ago. Now I leave them alone after i successfully helped Conor and a few friends achieve this ambition. A good number of Pinks migrate straight from Iceland to Lincolnshire and various Norfolk winter haunts. I'd bet strong money within 3-4 days those 43 Pink will be in deep Norfolk and each day the migration will pickup pace. Obviously these are my personal findings and opinions of chasing Geese for over 50years all over the British Isles. Good luck to one and all chasing Geese this just remember in your excitement get them in range keep calm shoot for the Sooty Head πŸ‘

    Pinks

    Received a phone call last night from a landowner that i have permission to shoot. Geese are back. 43 in total feeding on stubble. Due to hot weather and causing no damage they are safe from me well until last week of September

    Pinks

    In my opinion worse. Having used a 20 for best part of 50 years on geese it's not the type of shot or bore it's the idiots spraying it around which really boils my pee
  21. Good result Mark and making good use of the old AYA πŸ‘β˜ΊοΈ
  22. Gas Seal any date would be very good thank you. Andy H thank you downloaded but won't open
  23. Would anyone be willing to share any trusted 8 ga Bismuth ITM and Hevi-Shot load data please or point me in the right direction. Gun is a English SBS nitro proof. Thanks in advance
  24. Excellent Simon well done πŸ‘ myself and Conor spot with Thermal but take the shot with NV. So many times I've thought get a thermal scope but as yet held back one do to price the other being able to 100% ID and place a accurate shot at range when needed. Must admit seeing your video it did/does look a 250 yrd shot would be safe id and accurate shot ,πŸ€”
