  1. The only restriction was a small area on the SE corner on a Monday and Tuesday but the rest of Findhorn could be shot with no restrictions to restrictions at all. Hope that helps
  2. Hardly confusing. The shooting was to stop only in the SE corner from 10am as dictated in the summary. The other areas on Findhorn bay could be shot throughout the day. The only interest was on the SE corner. As Wildfowlers you would think we would all stick together for the best outcome but clearly that has not happened. When this goes to council the risk of losing the bay has increased ten fold.
  3. Ok here goes. Haven spoken with the council it is categorically from the season on going to be the way forward by the Summary from the mediation meeting. The chairman had confirmed that BASC and the Forres and Nairn Wildfowlers was represented by a local member of both parties. This can be confirmed by Peter Boulton. ALL parties who partake in hunt and shoot of Geese on Findhorn bay MUST and I mean MUST follow the rules set out from the Summary. Now I understand BASC have came back to people saying that nothing has changed on the Bay I can tell you this is NOT the case. We must ALL follow the ruling or risk losing it for ever by a total ban, now I must say that again WE WILL GET A TOTAL BAN IF THE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED. So please please please keep this in mind as we have worked to bloody hard for this to be lost now. Also I would like to apologise now for some of the language I used I've the last few hours as I was a wee bit stressed so I'm sorry if it offended, I have never met most of you but regard you as friends and that I don't want to jeopardise so I'm sorry
  4. Hi folks, just a question to see if there is anyone on here that still doesn't have the new summary on the requirements/rules for shooting this coming season on the Findhorn
  5. Your right we could and again I have. I just need to be sure that everyone is going to do there bit this season and every season there after. It's not just my neck on the line it's everyone's as this fight was too long and hard to lose now. Yes I'll be on the bay and yes this topic will be the fore front of conversation
  6. A permit system would reduce the guns allowed on the bay per day to 5. Goose limits per gun per day would be one and there would be a bigger reduction on the shooting area. Permit wouldn't work in all fairness as no traveling gun would be able to shoot the bay thus impacting on the local businesses coz as you know over the winter months they depend on the Fowlers. This was a meeting to allow all Fowlers the chance to shoot the bay and not just the locals.
  7. You lads are the ones that made me do it, I've met some crackers on the bay and hope to continue meeting them. Aye nea abidy will agree with what has happened and frankly at the moment it just seems to be the 1 so not to bothered about it if I'm honest. This wasn't about just keeping the shooting, it was about standing up to the Antis and showing that we weren't going to sit back and see what happened. Weel weel ah noo and see yee ah at the bay fir a shote oh them there honkers
  8. The Antis have agreed to continue with the terms set from the mediation meeting on 8th June. They also agreed to give us piece while we carry out our law abiding sport and we agreed to not shoot a small area on Mondays and Tuesday's. They were warned by the council that if they continue to be antisocial towards Fowlers then they will lose the right to have the small area to themselves and it will be handed back to the Fowlers. 2 days after the mediation meeting they tried to retract from the agreement and that I had 3 options. One of which was only having 5 guns on the bay/day. Only 1 bird/gun daily was another. We informed the council that we were removing from further proceedings and will not be going to any further meetings hence now the Antis have agreed with what was decided. Find it funny that above comments regard GOOSE SHOOTER WILLIE as a local hero and at least he had the guts to say what he felt. Maybe next time he can sit in the meetings with the council and the Antis to try and keep shooting on Findhorn instead of hiding behind an alias.

  10. Folks, I would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you. I was the one that ran the petition for the Findhorn and only just started on this forum and seen all of your posts, comments and signatures for the petition. Humbled by all the help youse all gave. Thank you
