  2. Gun for wildfowling

    in Wanted

    Posted

    The guy I spoke to on the phone seemed a really happy chap and made you feel welcomed.

    Tbh he did say don’t go buying all the gear till you’ve been a few times just fishing waders Or even just wellies and a gun. Just for the sake of a couple of quid I’d rate not worry damaging my current gun.

    Have you already got a gun Marcus ? , if you have then use that until you get to the type of fowling that you intend to carry out  and with you living in Chesterfield , what type of wild fowling do you intend doing , inland , coastal , flight ponds or decoying geese , the reason I ask is most guns are suitable by using the right cartridges and only taking on what you are shooting out if they are in range .

    I use a 2 3/4 all the year round for everything , for duck I mainly use 32gm and for the odd goose I shoot now I keep a few 36 gm in my inside pocket .

    I shot most of my duck and geese with a Midland side x side 3 inch although 90% of the cartridges used were 2 3/4 and very rare I felt under gunned .

    No one gun will be suitable for all types of wild fowling , but one gun will be suitable for most .

    GOOD LUCK. 

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes I’ve got a Miroku mk38 that I use for clay shooting. I’m going to Spalding so I’m assuming it’ll be coastal.

    I might just do that then what cartridges do you recommend? 
    like I say this is totally new to me so any help much appreciated. 👍 

  10. Getting a working dog and working full time

    Been thinking a lot lately about getting a pup to train but unsure with working full time.
    What do people do with there dogs when at work all day? I have a Partner that’s self employed and her salon isn’t far so she could pop in and check on the dog but I feel is that enough. 

    I’ve had working dogs all my life when living with my parents but my dad was lucky enough to take his dogs to work with him everyday or my mum was at home full time then as well.
