  1. could be a tracking problem if on the front or camber problem I would get a 4 wheel alignment done as I have had same problem, all sorted now

    Wash trip.

    plenty of duck about this morning and several small groups of pinks and some of them decided to play the game, and if the wind had helped us we would of all had a bag limit, so yes there are plenty of birds about if you put in the effort.

    Mixed Bag

    Well done that man excellent write up.
  6. Sorry I cannot make it Kennet I am working, had a great day last time out with you, friendly and relaxed shoot, hope you find some help.
  7. I slow drill down to 400rpm and lube it with thin oil very little pressure to start with.
  8. you will do very well, seeing that gamebore cannot be bothered to load them and imports are drying up £38.00 for remington sportsman steel if you can get them round here
  9. I love morning flight just being on the marsh as it wakes up is magical, only thing that tops it is a flight under the moon
  10. Well and truly hooked, just wait till you hear the pinks you will totally lose the plot

    Prologic

    prologic waders are total **** and the company is cr*p aswell their chest waders will have you sweating as bad a neoprens and the boots are bloody freezing thrown my away. you have been missold got to trading standards.
  12. we have had pinks land on the playing field in the village were I live in very thick fog and that is 40 miles from the coast, they spent the night making that low humming noise they make when they are not sure where they are.
  13. My name is to do with a reputation of showing excellent phesants as I am a gamekeeper, I shoot along the bottom of the wash and we did not see any geese along that part after end of november and 800 is not a lot considering the size of the wash, in norfolk we still had 45000 in Feb on a small coastal roost, but you still missed the jist of the conversation anyboby who respects the geese will not take stupid shots at them it just pushes them away they move else where, and I am not getting in to a **** measuring contest with you about how many you / I missed.
  14. fenboy that's why I said self policing members get involved and stop it. And that is the reason we have geese all season on our marsh and the wash loses them by end of November.
  15. we don't stand for it in our club you get a warning then you are out no excuse, if the officials want to stop it they can, see what part area of the marsh it is happening on get to that access and all members who are at that access are told any more high shooting and you are all banned for a month to start with, it soon becomes self policing, what ever happened to compulsary marsh warden duties where members had to check members on the marsh access points. I remember travelling up from Oxford to do it with my father.
  16. if the geese keep getting shot at on the wash at 100 yrds plus and being shoot off and decoyed on there feeding fields they wil soon **** off like they do ever year. so called wildfowlers just cannot restrain from pulling the trigger, makes proper fowlers sick watching cowboys open up on them. and I don't care who this comment offends.
  17. Modified choke which is about 1/2 choke is all you ever need
  18. I have loaded a 43 grain alliant steel load with 39 grams of steel B in a 3 1/2 inch 12 bore cheddite case and have had consistant results at pattern plate and geese with half choke and moderate recoil, but now running out of alliant steel so looking for a diffrent powder, lack of good powder and the shortage of 10 bore cartridges is like a conspiracy against wildfowling in this season.
  19. take a couple of planks off a pallet on stand on them take the nails out, that will help and its bio degradable
  20. over priced to get in and to expensive for stall holders to attend and why hold it at the busiest time of year for anybody involved in agriculture or gameshooting with the harvest coming in or poults turning up would of been better mid June.
  21. could be a tawny teaching young birds to hunt they just tend to take the heads off, then mr buzzard comes along and feasts on the carcass.
  22. No my dear you just need to find the right person to help you out who knows what to do, I had 2 very good blokes who helped me out on my shoot and one of them was YOU !!! have a look around on here, if I lived closer I would of given you a hand.
  23. use to feed flight pond with malted barley from greenking, ponds were always full of ducks not so many now as we cannot get it, so yes ducks do like malted barley

    Pinks

    shooting geese over stubbles is like taking candy from a baby, the last few seasons it has been going on in north Norfolk and to see skiens of pinks going inland only to hear 10 to 20 shots ring out 2 minutes later and watch the geese fleeing the area after a few days of this is totally wrong, most of it being paid for by chinless tossers who go out with the keepers before a days pheasant shooting no respect for such a magnificent bird and I bet most are shot with lead. and yes I have shot a lot of geese but all below the tide line where field craft and knowing your quarry and the weather is the key to success. so if you really want a go at the pinks book a week or two on the wash do your field craft get under there flight lines in the right weather up to your nuts in mud and water and if you are really really lucky you might just might get a pull at them and when you have worked so hard for a pink and bagged a pink then you will might just realise what wildfowling is and it is not shooting them over stubbles. Tin hat has now been put on so ready for incoming.
