I used them in the 70"s bought them in lotts of 300, thay came in boxes of ten in a tin box ,you got a tin opener with every box , if you had a good day on the pigeons 100+ you were a bit shell shocked at the end of the day, ps,, autos dont like them used to pull the brass off .

Get in touch with B>A>S>C thay will tell you the name of the wildfowling club contacts in the area you req.

my daughter worked in the lab & had told the chief vet about it , he had only herd about it but never seen it,It is common in the US in mallard,it is thought to be past on through foxes ,ie the fox eats the dead affected bird then it passes through the fox with no affect on the fox ,so if the fox drops a heap in a wetland area the duck feeding in that area can pick up the bug and it all starts again.

I shot one about 12 year ago at lindisfarne,first time i had seen it in over 40 years of wildfowling sent it to the DEFRA lab.

How much dose he require & how often.there are a lot of stalkers in northumberland who can supply still in the skin deer.

You dont say how old your lad is or how big he is, I have a single 12g hammerless if you want it,if you use the trainer loads it should be ok for him,just come & pick it up,

I would not use duck decoys unless thay have a lot of white on them,I have used the poly trays off chicken & meat you buy but peg them down at one end all so you will most likely have to lie out in the field as the birds tend to drop in well away from eny cover,lie in tram lines were a face vale & face feet first in direction of incoming birds,eny birds that are shot put out as decoys belly up. good luck.

If you can get crushed barley it doz not re jermanate,it floats,& the ducks love it,also rotten spuds,keep your spud peelings over the week & put out at the week end,feed little & often.

finely made it, 61yrs old into stalking,wildfowling,& pigeon shooting.
