    Goose call

    I'll take it if it's still going, send me payment details please
  5. That's where I meant,... Penrose....not Pembroke as I wrote ,sorry....
  6. I was in same boat couple of years back, and got put off by reading aggression issues....iv since seen two locally... And there both fine, my next dog will probably be a chessie, look at the Pembroke website...
  7. What is the realism of hunting with guns being banned? Is it something that could potentially happen? Iv already been on the receiving end of one ban, my true love was lurchers and coursing, which I no longer do obviously, having your sport taken away from you isn't a nice feeling fellas..
  8. I fully agree with that 10 year rule, in all aspects of life... Folk should have plenty of experience before being a figure of authority on the subject
  9. Iv bought myself a gold 10 for this season too... Looking forward to getting used to it... That one of yours looks a tidy bit of kit
  10. I'm brand new to fowling and don't really understand what this thread is all about, could some one give me a rough idea please, thank you
  11. It seems a bit of a flaw in the goose, the slow maturing bit, in certain places I suppose it could be the downfall of them if everyone was trigger happy......
  12. Luckily for us up here then, geese are no where near the levels of being a nuiscance yet(I think) what sort of level do they reach before being put on general license ?
  13. Is there any other birds which have a slow maturity process??? I understand a lot of places have geese in problem proportions but a summer cull / general licence would have a bad effect and thin them out dramatically wouldn't it?
  14. A summer cull around here kent would eradicate geese, we have a couple of reservoirs and park lakes were they are in small numbers ( maybe 50 on each) at the minute there flying low all over the place, you could pop them off very easily....
  15. That makes sense thanks fellas... We don't have a massive amount of geese round here, be nice if all these young birds that are here got chance to pair up and breed over next couple of springs
  16. Hia folks, during the spring I always presumed that all animals had young, on one of the local reservoirs there are a lot of geese without ,my mate is down there regular and I think he said there are 3-4 clutches of geese, yet 30 others are just swimming around doing there daily thing with out young, is this normal?? Could it be that the majority are young birds nit yet sexually mature???
  17. Iv been counting the days down since the end of last season,, I keep texting my mate asking "how many sleeps?" Weather round here at minute is perfect cold,wet and windy, only problem is it's end of May..haha... Guarantee it will be piping hot on 1st
  18. Your a lucky fella, plenty of pigeons, and 3 months in sun.. Have a nice holiday
  19. Got 18 last week , and 27 week. Before with air rifles= 750(i think)
  20. Looks a fair old lump, think I'll get one of these as my next dog
