Spaniel

Never managed to even get out last season, so hopeful this season will be a good one No trips booked so staying local on our club land this season, but no doubt will start planning a trip for next season 2021/2022 some where up North

Just purchased a fathom 15 reel and that cast and retrieves a treat using a daiwa supercast and a channel special rod Going to get a 2nd fathom soon Fished SB Avonmouth and new passage so far some cod are starting to come Have a look fb bristol Severn fishing Scotland wildfowling this week and then back chasing the cod in a fortnight time can't wait

I have purchased a code black goose for my xtreame 2 and will be using it for the first time next week but last weekend I bagged a nice canada shot at around 45yds using beretta 1/4 choke 36gms 3s so wondered why I brought the code black lol only time will tell

We are off to Scotland Monday wildfowling on the tay around error and Tayport plus a morning on the stubble at montrose on a guided flight which we are looking forward to. Are there any other areas along the tay which we should look at visiting while we there next week Thanks ian

Been chasing them down in the Severn near bristol just one small one to date but back chasing in a couple of weeks

Not to bad to the start of the season so far I have had a couple of teal a hen wigeon and my first canada on a low water club Marsh Next week off to the river tay and a morning on the stubble with montrose shooting breaks so looking desperately for my first pink

going to be an evening outing on the 1st hopefully getting under the quackers and maybe wait until the weekend to attempt to tease the Geese

Is BW bay affected by the new plant at hinkley at all guys Do you want to take me for a trip then..lol

Only been the once and back up there this season but we did have a long wonder north of Tay bridge around the large cove just pass tayport, better if you google it but it was a long walk around the shore Looking at where errol is on google map I would of thought as long has you can get access to the river frontage you would be ok but the rocky outlets which stretch out into the river seemed very popular last season, just got to watch the tide times/heights although we were told the river is slow coming in, but better not to take any chances

Shearer I think may just do us proud

I been ready since Feb 22nd lol

Thanks guys more target shooting and like you say just keep learning as much as possible

I was invited out last Saturday on my very first stalk, got to say most of last Saturday I was just conscious and to be honest nervous of taking that first shot at a deer. I have joined and been down the local target club for the last few months but still having not shot a deer before I really did not know what to expect, its a bit bigger than a duck... Evening stalk was excellent got taken around a few different fields and spotted a good number of Roe Does about, spotted a nice Roe Buck against a hedge but he quickly decided it was best to move on.. We were watching a buck and doe in another field, but it was a few fields away and the evening light was fading away when we spotted a doe not to far away from us but she kept taking a look behind her, thought it may of been young ones so decided to take a walk to have a look. Well the doe was met by a buck but they decided to go for a run across the field, thought we had missed our chance and decided to head back to see if we could get down to where the other two were in the field. Well we just came pass the hedge line and we spotted both of them in the field, so after a bit of crawling and at that point getting soaking wet from the wet grass, I was given the sticks and riffle. It seemed like an eternity watching the buck through the scope just standing face on until it decided to move broadside, first covered by the long grass and then finally out in the open, the shot was on.....my knees were shaking and my heart was thumping, so a couple of deep breaths to try to calm myself down and I finally took the shot, it dropped instantly and my first Roe Buck at 175 Yds. I was then shown how to field dress the deer and when we got back carried out the final dressing of the carcass. So in all a very enjoyable all be it nervous 1st stalk.

quite good over the weekend just giving a couple of pips on the call kept a jackdaw happy for a while in the back garden I just let him fly away and then gave a couple of pips and he came back over again....for the crows well they just kept calling back

I go down a riffle target club at present and to be honest I am leaving both eyes open when viewing down the scope...god only knows if it helps but I am hitting the target in the 50yds in door range, actually got a few shots in the same hole the other week,

had 20 crows on Saturday out with son in law (not club land) which was a nice day out, seen a few bunnies but could not get close enough with the air riffle on them. Applying for my fac end of this month, then got to get a piece of farmland I am aware of cleared as Mr farmer got Bunny and Deer problem on it...happy days

I don't know not a bad bag there young man....

any particular calling pattern to use while working the crows ?

Thanks for that, I seem to get a pretty good sound out of it with the sleeve on to be honest, but thought I maybe missing a trick just getting the hang of the grrrrr sound lol

Hang on....are you suppose to take the rubber tube off the call then ?

If you look close by you may see some big game moving about lol

5th pic down is excellent, you done a good job with all of these

Personaly I feel that all wildfowling clubs in the uk should work together in any way possible to secure not just the land they already have but to secure additional land Not sure what organisation would be best to hold a fund as mentioned by the op but the money would have to remain within the UK Obviously there would have to be some method of applying and a system created regarding payments

Can't beat a good single malt but my pro lem is that I drink it to fast and the bloody price seems to keep going up
