Having sourced half a ton of barley and the mallard ducklings are soon to be released, i'm wondering what's the best feeder type and where to get them?
Any help appreciated!

Hello, there's no barley but I might be able to help with some wheat and wheat chaff, the wheat is not clean but still ok for feed, just need to shovel into bags, it's spillage from grain dryer, it needs shifting ASAP
Thank you very much for the help and your kind offer, just spoken with the tennant farmer on the Estate and he will drop off half a ton Thursday morning.

No, not yet

Not had any TB down my way, thanks God for that!

Best practice says you need to isolate any carcasses with signs of TB and call DEFRA rural services imediately, at 0300 020 0301

I'm just about to release some mallards on one of my permissions and i'm looking for couple of hundred kg of barely or wheat, as close to Oxford as possible.
Anyone can point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

As above, Ian will give you the best price and next day delivery... I'm a happy returning customer

They are absolutely rubbish in my Blaser barrel, RWS on the other hand, are brilliant.

Recently swapped for 110 grains Barnes TTSX in my .270 and is more forgiving on the shoulder... It knocked over from foxes and munties to the biggest Sussex fallow bucks without a problem...

Very sad news indeed...
I knew Graham personally, he was the one who took me out for my first proper wildfowling day on the Wash back in 2014...
I will miss him! R.I.P .

Hard wired is the way to go... You can ask your dealer to fit it for you like i did.
It set me back £350 front and rear from my Toyota dealer.

I think Toyota is the way to go from now on, as from June 1st they coming with 10 years warranty, transferable to the new owner as well if you decide to sell...

From Natural England that's why i suggested the OP to ring them. Yes you can shoot them 12months of the year but as i posted they have a season which when it ends 31 January you can then shoot them under the GL but it's not just the case ( not saying the OP done this ) eg whilst carrying a gun a pair/Skien of Canada Geese fly over and you can legally shoot them. So rather than be misguided just phone Natural England i personally know plenty taking pot shots at Canada Geese are breaking the law FACT. Apologies to OP i was/am trying to offer sound advice not derail his thread or start a Bun Fight
No one is taking pot shots, the canadas in question are being removed from a private fisherie at the owner request due to causing a lot of mess and damage around, perfectly legal under the General Licence.

Having never shot , or wanted to shoot a deer with a rifle , or caught Pike for that matter I couldn't say how bigger a achievement this would be , I have shot plenty of geese in what we would class as the shooting season but never shot any in March , also it might have put a few members off in answering seeing a small deer with a large part of it's belly missing .
So for some members it was a dream come true , and for others maybe it was best to keep there thoughts to themselves.
To make it clear , that small deer it was an adult muntjac doe, invasive species and very destructive for the enviroment, same like the canada geese, and they got no close season.
March, August or January, it makes no difference to me as the landowner wants them gone. If i'm not doing it, he's going to bring someone else in my stead.
As for the belly, nothing was missing, just a slighty bigger than usual exit hole on a perfect heart and lungs shot , that deer was dead before it touched the ground.

I find it disappointing that your post, covering three different field sports, has so far only received six responses.
Other threads covering such irrelevanvaces as 'woke' and Harry and Megan are receiving much more attention. Pity.
Thank you for your kind words!
That's alright, i'm not so important... Just wanted to share my experience with like minded people...

That's a rather large hole in that muntjak!
What did you make it with?
Edd
I only lost the rib cage, other than that , perfectly fit for consumption.
The .270 left an unusual big exit wound , it does happen from time to time.

Had a cracking morning few days ago on one of my permissions, went out for a muntjac, and after shooting a doe, swapped the rifle for the fishing rod.
Managed 3 jacks in about 45 minutes, and just as i was packing up a pair of canada came into land on the pool, so ended the morning with a left and right ( shotgun always ready whilst around water )
Superb morning and one happy landowner !

Nice pictures. How close were you when you took them?
I was stalking in Oxfordshire on Monday and saw another Roe buck in velvet that I reckon was bigger than that. But they all look bigger in velvet than they really are. I shot the doe that was with him.He let me get close to about 25 yards , before he started moving away slowly.
I’m not shooting roe on this estate, unless injured or poorly...
I did shoot 17 muntjac from last November though...

DPD is really good around my area, but i was impressed by UPS yesterday, when they managed to deliver a double metal high seat next day before 1PM...
