Only thing is it only occured to me last week after arranging to go out Sep 1st, it's the wife's birthday that day!!!! In the early morning just as you awaken tell the soon to be WFW (wild fowling widow) that you are going to go and get somthing special for her birthday dinner give her a kiss and cuddle (or something else if you have the time as the tide waits for no man) and then hope and pray that you actually manage to bring something down otherwise it will be a stop at your local supermarket on the way home for a ready meal and a big bunch of flowers. Good luck BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniel Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Hopefully i will get the decoys out on monday and give them a good clean up. I got to get a ciuple of poles for my gigantic flying honkers, well they dont really fly but there again in a strong wind i bet they may just take flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 All set to go, I spent the day touching up my Texas rag decoys, cleaning my calls/whistles and packing my bag for next week. I just need to rig up some of my ducks I think it's great that this section of the forum has become more and more busy over the past week, not long now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is it only occured to me last week after arranging to go out Sep 1st, it's the wife's birthday that day!!!! Where you shooting Cos? Inland I assume - over your way? I'll be up and out at the sparrows ****... and will be back home for a local charity clay shoot for 10. I think last season we were done by 7.30/8. I'd get up early, drive there, shoot, then come back and still make it to work on time (apart from when the car broke down on the M1) Plenty of time for SWMBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its 2 knots head & foot with the stick up into the head is this correct do I need to tie them onto the stick in any way.

Cheers, BBL It's hard to explain mate, fold them into a triangle but leave enough hangover at the bottom edge to fold back on itself and staple. Then tie a knot at the 'head' and another knot at the corner below, NOT at the foot. Then you slide the stick through each knot and tidy it up abit. I'm sure you can find some instructions online.

Cornishfowler Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Dunno if this would count as my first session, as I'm too young to shoot not on my land. So I shoot ducks on are pond! And I cantb wait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Well the first morning on the wash was a disaster, I had arranged to meet other people there bright and early, the dog was all keen as she had noticed me load some of on gear in the car. Flask was all ready to be topped up and cartridges sorted in my coat pockets...heavier loads in the right. Light in the left. But when I woke up I was 2 hours late.....in a blind panic, I was in a cold sweat thinking how do I contact the ones I'm guiding for their first flight....the alarm clock had remained silent Or had I turned it off on auto pilot like I do work days....the alarm had not been set as its not even the 1st yet.....bloody hell its only Monday...guess I'm dreaming of the marsh already. Literally ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poontang Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've just sorted and cleaned up the decoys. Had a sniff of my jacket, seems ok so shouldn't need washing 'til next season. Scraped a load of mud off my waders and just need to repair a few holes in them... then I'm ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
