  1. Did you book as individual gun or are there people who you have shot with before attending. Just if you have idea of others shooting.
  2. Possibly the ground that used to be Sinclair's holbeach st johns area
  3. Yes really like a good christmas morning, watched the pinks come to feed on a field as I was on my way to the marsh to walk the dogs. Always seems all is right in the world walking the dog's along the sea wall on a crisp Christmas morning. Have a great day everyone.
  4. Maybe England should have a vote to see if it wants to be joined with Scotland?
  5. As you say I take care of all the shooting on the farm but my pigeon man, who shoots through me is retired bit like a service, all done on the provision if just us we do the whole lot, like you say when we started he had others but not reliable or committed.
  6. Many scenarios here in my view, coming from farming family and a shooter, I myself have to let our local pigeon man go before myself, as to to be blinkered, if crops are being damaged/hit hard I view it from farming prospective get them shot while they're there, what if the sunday shooter doesn't make it,birds don't turn up, weather is against him, the opportunity is lost. The end of the day it's out &out pest control. Just my view.
  7. Yup I'm in with that, been happening over 1000s of years like boiling the kettle the temperature accelerate nearer the boil over a shorter time.
  8. Not a Facebook er any other way to view her hard work.
  9. Soil fixer, some varieties are grown before potatoes to help control, soil pests. I would say some fields are behind being cultivated due to the wet conditions
  10. Norfolk is full of shooting estates, contact them more you put in more you get out, listen to instructions be polite, and tidy
  11. As a wildfowler and vermin shooter, mainly if the slightest rumble starts they will be the first to shout.........WE all need to stick together, but don't recall other areas running to help fowlers. Just a thought
  12. Give it enough publicity, and it will be impossible for there to be any kind of unbiased trial. Problem solved for him
  13. Thanks for posting, always look for your videos. Nice bit of ground you shoot over there, great habitat
  14. This is exactly what I mentioned within the first 10 posts on this subject. Put just sky around a object and it is a lot harder to judge than distance along floor or tree.
  15. Floating feeder on a pallet seen them used in Sweden. Make the feed hopper at the bottom 2" so a bit of 2x2 can be used to shutter it down a bit if needed,as it sounds that it needs to be available but not too quickly so its nearly out when you return
  16. Ely is a good club or was years ago with some nice washes. Holbeach wildfowlers has vacancies and has a large wash at earith
  17. No, not a fan of parting with my hard earned
  18. Just up the road to me
  19. Think there is a older thread about this. I have a sac mod on mine
  20. Hi. Some good fowling to be had that way on the ouse washes.
  21. Not saying they aren't available, but how many shooters know what a bird at 80yrds looks like. Have seen people try to judge distance of a pigeon decoy and are miles out, now surround it with sky and it's even harder.
  22. As above or shredded paper from pet store, yes gets wet but dries them quickly and they can scratch it away, until it dries
  23. Good reading this thread, so much truth said , Your dog will get invited more times than you. My first dog was brought fully trained and increased my invites vastly but also showed me what to try and achieve in your dog. First thing is to sit in my book. Also dont rush the dog, it will all come together if installed solidly, very hard to put right poor training. And enjoy each others companionship, you are that dogs protector,and best friend no matter what hard to get those qualities in a human being, but standard to any well looked after dog.
