  3. Pm replied, There isn't big hills or valleys to walk, it's easy terrain, no need for dog, we have 8 beaters that do all the hard work with their dogs, extremely nice people and passionate hunters. Regards Mark

Its a a good day out and reasonably cheap day per gun, compared to other places that organize woodcock shooting, the day normally its planned as follow: meet at 9am, to be on shooting land by 9.30am, number of guns allowed its normally 6-8 per day, we take turns in walking, normally 2 walk with the dogs and the others stand in points that keeper says its the best. Refreshments half way thruw the morning and lunch included in the price. Bags: that is difficult to say, in the past we shot 25 woodcocks 12 snipes 8 pheasants in a day, missing loads of birds , as you know these birds are not relesed, they migrate from russia norway and so on, this year on the second day was the best shooting we ever had, missed several that went up with the dogs and I think the guns where getting used to the way the birds were flying, if there is not many wild birds normally the game keeper decided to take us on his grounds where they keep pheasants/partridges. Personally I think that 1 woodcock its worth ten phesants because of the difficulty in shooting them. The Challenge its the Snipe, its the most difficult bird to shoot, its unbelivable how fast it can fly and the way that it fly, the first time that I shot one...after many many attempts...I was well chuffed and keepers and beaters made it feel special. I personally think that for £125 per day its very good, especially if you check the current prices on this site, theres a bloke asking £350 per gun for a 100 birds driven shooting and that is average...but you shoot on pheasants and I don't find them a good sport at all. How many cartdriges to take...I normally take 2 boxes of very good n6 loads for woodcock and the pheasants and some black gold n7 for the snipe. We will do one snipe and duck drive, please take some steel cartridges or non toxic. Please Pm me for any further info or bookings Mark
  5. You very welcome DD, looking forward to meet again. Thank you Mark
  6. Hi all, Myself and Passionforangling, were long due to go out, for a bit of wildfowling, we been checking a couple of places that we have been in the past, a few ducks and one night while visiting I hear the hoink hoink. We decided to travel south of us for an evening outing, hoping for the goose to show up just before dusk, knowing how ego is Passionforangling to roast them. We arrived at the designated spot by 5.30/6 pm, got comfy and waited.............. At 7.40 pm, I looked at Passionforangling and said....did you hear that....usual look from him, its in your head Mark, but within 30 seconds, it wasn't in my head, we could hear them, coming low and to wards us, within a few moment a skein of geese, was approaching....about 20. We managed to bag 2 on the first skein, after 5 minutes a smaller skein came in, but Passionforangling was chasing a goose....ahahahahahaha no gun in hand, but I was ready and begged another one. We were really happy with the result, especially the hoinkroaster, that was telling me how he was going to cook them....long journey home Regards Mark
  7. You can book a single day if you like, I always advise to do the back to back to get all the chances offered, by different grounds. Mark
  8. Hi E.w., We have circa 800/600 acres, scattered around Criccieth/Phwelli,a mix of bogs and woodlands, belonging to an estate, we normally manage to do 7-8 drives, by mixing the options of ground that we shoot on. Regards Mark
