  10. Advice on the Tay

    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

  14. My 1st Stalk

    in Stalking & Game Shooting

    Posted

    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.

    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

  24. Wildfowl Fighting Fund

    in Wildfowling

    Posted

    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
