No shortage of curlew where we go and licenses for limited numbers of barnacles have been issued for last season and this all be it only 20 per farm for those concerned

Only 300 yds away from farm yard for us if you only want the geese but a bit further if you want a chance of the ducks too

Pm inbound Atb r72

Pm sent Atb r72

Had this light for almost 12 months and rang to see how much a replacement battery was and as I said I was impressed with the initial service provided and even more so now Atb neil r72

Great write up and well done to you both and a bonus bass too

Dont know if anybody has dealt with Mike (the shooting party) but ive got to say jow impressed I am with the service. Firstly ordering me scope mounted light which only took a couple of days to arrive. Just gone to put the battery on charge for tonights outing and the possitive terminal fell off the battery !!! Quick phone call to mike at the shooting party and his response was "dont worry i'll get a new one in the post for you on monday" thanks for the service and thought that this deserved a shout out

I would also be interested in joining this club if anyone would be kind enough to pass details on it would be much appretiated Atb r72

Picture posted on talk from the field under Over the moon Took a while to find him and was lucky with him but when I got him someone else had already taken him back because they couldnt handle him, he still has his moments but very few and far between, taking longer to train than a pup would but only to be expected needs to steady up and direction training then he'll be reet get some experience this season then just keep him going through the off season to get him right for next year

Called on a perm tonight to try and get Evin his first retrieve and boy did he impress We got there and straightaway the duck were flighting up and down the river we positioned ourselves on a corner of the feild where two rivers meet and up came the ducks Bang down goes the first but straight into the fast current the dog didnt even see it one lost Over comes another couple the dog watching intently Bang Bang down comes another this one the dog sees and without hessitation is in the river a good 25 yd swim and he picks his first ever duck his first ever water retrieve come to think of it his first ever retrieve (other than dummies in training) A short time passed then in come a couple more Bang down goes another and off Evin goes again very quick retrieve this time from about 30 yds in the river well done lad big treats and wait for more A little while later and Bang Bang down comes another this time going through the bottom of the trees on the far bank away goes the dog and back he comes with the duck in mouth The last one was an easy pick from the edge of the field but was still flapping another first for Evin the boy done me proud 15 months old from a rescue centre and ive had him only 4 months which I think makes this even more impressive A big well done to Evin

Called back to a perm where there have been a lot of canadas feeding for the last week only to find the river had risen a little with todays rain,no geese but plenty of duck flighting coming in all directions but due to the current we had to pick our shots so the dog could mark the downed birds hitting the water,now bearing in mind he has only done dummy work so this was his first retrieve and he not only retrieved one he made three stunning retrieves complimented by my shooting companions as being difficult retrieves even for an experienced dog. He made me so proud and just goes to show what can be done even by a dog that I have only had for 4 months and came from a rescue centre he is now 15 months old and has his first four ducks under his belt yes four that was three from the river and one on the edge of the field that was still flapping so to say im over the moon doesnt come close great night great retrieves and the dog is now curled up with me on the couch
