None of my neighbours know I shoot. Once I was carrying my gun it’s slip to the car and a neighbour asked me if I’m going fishing so I just went along with that. I guess a lot of people seeing a gun slip wouldn’t automatically think gun.

My thoughts exactly. Just thought I’d double check to see if anyone has any thoughts. Thank you @HantsRob

FEDERAL BLACK CLOUD 3" 36 GRAM No2 STEEL Apparently these shells can be put through any choke? It also states this on the box. Does anyone have any experience using these or know how this is the case?

Sod’s Law, you see them off season! Hopefully you get a few more appearances come September! @Big Al

Enjoyed watching this. Thanks for sharing @Big Al

Sounds amazing. Really enjoyed reading this!

Family own a few KIAs from the Sportage down to the EV6. Never had a problem lovely cars especially all the new models.

Very sad indeed

Very good to know. Thank you.

Has anyone used the acrylic greylag call from A1 decoys? If so how have you gotten on with it?

@PeterHenryi think that’s a very good idea tbh. I might try it as well if I get any decent pictures this coming season. And seems I already follow you too!

@SuperGoose75 agreed you need those type of characters. The series wasn’t bad don’t get me wrong the ending was just horrible. @Mice! as I said above the programme was good but the books were just too good. At times it was a difficult read but it added so much depth and life into each character. I don’t think he’ll ever finish the books and if he doesn’t I really do hope Brandon Sanderson can finish writing them as I think he’s an amazing author who will do the serious justice!

I’m massive fan of GOT, the books are much better than the series and I’m hoping he can finish the books with a better ending (but doesn’t look likely he will even finish the next book!). I’m yet to watch house of the dragon but think I may wait till all the episodes are released before I sit down and give it a go

Recently bought an Igenix portable ac unit. I think it is 9000-10000 btu isn’t the most advanced thing out there but does the job. Given the heatwave we’re having again very glad I got it!

All this bird flu sounds worrying. Now this may sound like a stupid question but if you do shoot wildfowl how would you know if it is infected? Are there any obvious signs to look out for?

I have a marsh not too far from my home and whenever I go to work I can normally see a lot geese but these last few times I’ve gone into work they’re not there anymore. It does look like the birds have gone to other areas for the time being

I was just wondering with the heat waves and the lack of rain we’ve had down south, how will this effect the wildfowling season? This is only my second season wildfowling so intrigued to see if anyone knows if this will have any make any difference to the start of the season?

They do have one in place but it’s been difficult to get something sorted with my mentor so thought I’d try this route as well. And also it’ll be good having someone to go out on the pigeon days as well. @Penelope

Thanks for your response @Pushandpull Unfortunately doesn’t look like I’m going to get anyone taking up this offer. I am also happy taking someone out who has some knowledge but may not have access to any shooting areas.

Hi guys, I’m based in Thurrock (Essex) and am looking for a shooting buddy. I’ve posted this before and have had some response but due to having our first kid and then getting a new phone and loosing all my numbers wasn’t able to pursue anything. I’m looking for someone who knows about wildfowling and is willing to teach me the ropes. I’m part of a wildfowling club and have access to a lot of foreshore but as I’ve only mainly done inland shooting I don’t want to venture out onto the foreshore on my own. They also give access to pigeon shooting. I can take guests with me for a daily fee that the club charge (which isn’t much), I’m happy contributing towards this if it means I get to learn and meet good people. The club does have a mentor scheme but I can never seem to arrange a suitable date/time. If anyone is interested drop me a line and we can discuss further over the phone. Thank you in advance.

Many thanks tightchoke

Hi guys I have an ATA Sp black sporter 12g and was wondering whether anyone would know where I can get extended chokes (steel proofed) for it? Many thanks in advance.

Hi guys, following from my last post. Does anyone know of any reliable goose guides in Scotland? I have details of some in Orkney island who I will be contacting but would like to see if there are any that are not around Orkney island. Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I was wondering whether anyone has been to Scotland for goose hunting? I know I’ it’s a bit early but I’m planning a trip to Scotland for next season, I’m from London so thought I’d look into it well in advance. Would like to know if anyone has been and how it was?

First time out shooting geese yesterday and I must say it was a day I will never forget! In total we shot 16 grey lags and this was all down to how much effort fenny puts in prior to anyone getting to ensue he knows where the geese are and how they’re flying. The feeling when you get to the grounds and you can hear hundred of geese honking. Then the wait starts until you finally see hundreds of geese flying overhead is just mind blowing! Even on the pigeon Fenny would constantly drive round all his permissions to find the best possible place for everyone to shoot. Highly recommend these days to anyone. In summary great shooting and great company what more could you ask for? Thank you again Fenny for an unforgettable day!
