As mentioned earlier by my son Nmb we are definitely going ahead with our syndicate shoot this season, restrictions allowing. I contacted each of our 25 members (full and 1/2 guns) in mid march and gave them the opportunity to stand down this season with a guarantee that their membership would be renewed for the season 2021/2022, without exception each made it clear that they would be re-joining this season and would be happy to pay a large percentage of their frees by the end of April, this they all did without exception. We are now a medium sized self keepered syndicate shooting over 4000 acres in the north east of Scotland with members from all walks of life and have been shooting for over 35 years. We have ordered and paid a substantial deposit for 2800 pheasant poults, ordered feed and are looking forward to our season whatever it may bring. We have contingency plans in place to cover social distancing, transport and feeding should restrictions still be in place. We also plan to hold our one let day of the season as planned although as yet we haven't advertised it. I suppose what I am trying to say is that we have to be positive, to us our syndicate is more than just a day's shooting, it is about the camaraderie, being out in the countryside, lasting memories and friendships and the determination to carry on our traditions, bag size compared to this is irrelevant. I wish every body a great season and please keep safe, we will get to the other side of this horrendous pandemic. Murray F B

Hi folks, Posted the above but didn't add the text, We had our final syndicate shoot of a fantastic season yesterday, a 60 bird day on our last day is testament to the hard work put in by our members. Work in preparation for next season starts now. I am sure NMB will be posting a full account of our day in the near future Hi , Steve is a long term member having shot in the syndicate for a number of years and hopefully many more to come. really pleased with our season and plenty of plans for next season. all the best Murray

Sorry for the very late notice. Picker up's required for tomorrow 11th Jan. Banchory, Aberdeenshire. Please message or call me (Murray) on 07970 829944 if interested Murray

Hi, we are a small syndicate based near Banchory Aberdeenshire and are looking for a couple of experienced pickers up for this coming Saturday 16th Nov. Our expected bag will be in the region of 80 pheasants and possibly a few partridges. Please message me or give me a call on 07970 829944 if you are interested. Thanks Murray

Hi Rob525 You would be more than welcome to a day or two stalking foc with either myself or my son Nick (NMB, posts regularly about our syndicate shoot Quarrybrae), only problem for you would be the travel to Aberdeenshire. you could possibly combine it with a day on our pheasant shoot but this would obviously be during the doe season. I have never posted anything on pigeon watch but my son probably makes up for that with his regular posts. all the best Murray
