  1. must say I have a soft spot for domesticated polecats - they cause are a nuisance out in the wild, regularly see them as roadkill out east but we don't have any in the west. Mink is another story. Having had many nights out in Grimsby, its an easy place to get a sticky end!
  2. Thanks for posting CaptainB - a great job and fabulous to not just make the product but to have also created some of the tools required. Now you need to make a buck skin one having shot and tanned the hide....
  3. She certainly looks keen and is a very bonny dog - i hope it's the first of many geese to come
  4. magnificent - unequivocally autumnal
  5. Great Pics Dave, No 3 has it for me - a fantastic place at this time of year, miles of sand to yourself.... not a scouser in sight
  6. Great job, make sure you post the wallet pics when you're done
  7. Cheers Trickett - great gun as described, pleasure doing buisiness
  8. Bit confused as the add says the advertiser isn't a PW member - if it's your gun Trickett I'm very interested and local, if it's as it looks then I'll have it - I'll send you a PM
  9. deer stalking headnet with mouth opening for calls when its warm (also keeps off mozzies) then when its cold a cheap ex army peaked beanie with fleecy neckercheef/scarf/ring - best of both worlds, small peak to keep rain out of eyes and warm, won't blow off. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mens-Woolly-US-Army-Military-Combat-Hat-Cap-MASH-Jeep-Peaked-Knitted-Olive-Green-/141904529962
  10. I'd agree with Penelope, the "fumbled swap" is usual with the sxs but I do on occasion take two guns, depending on location/conditions. With the steel proofed S/A it's an easy call of 31/2" No3 steel for either duck or goose as opposed to my preferred 23/4" 5's for teal and 31/2" 1's for geese. Saying that i've shot teal with 1's and Canadas with 5's this season. Get practicing that "two spare/alternate cartridges grasped in the knuckles of your left hand whilst shooting" something i've never managed to achieve even off the foreshore...
  11. Brilliant gesture Fenny and an excellent cause - i'd definitely come if i was closer, well done
  12. Great pictures Fal, very evocative, great looking dogs - the ducks will come.. the wigeon and pinks have been with us in force for the last two weeks, a bit of cold as you say, and they'll be heading down your way... have a great season and keep posting the pics - love taking a few photos, its my only way of convincing my wife i'm not completely mad, getting up in the dark and returning filthy but smiling!
  13. As said its location rather than detailed layout that's important - also depends if you are rigging them separately or on a "mother-line" - don't get too hung up on it, it's just to get them within shotgun range, they don't have to land in among them - although its nice when they do. One thing i always try to do is make sure they are fairly clean and don't touch/bump each other.
  14. We shoot under the moon but as said, it tends less focused in a specific "flight" and thus spread out and "hit or miss" - like all my shooting. General consensus on our marsh is that more ducks are shot on the "back of the moon" (Waning) - I was out last night, beautiful but not terribly productive which isn't an issue when its still, clear and 18 degrees, its different when the Pinks arrive.
