big bad lindz Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Looking forward to my first year wildfowling! 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!!!! So Cosd, Did the Mrs get a big fat jucy duck for her birthday ?? or something better ?? My WFW did not moan when we sat down to our first goose of the 2012/13 season for Sunday lunch (goose wellington) although she was a bit grumpy when I got up on the Saturday morning I am back off shore for the next two weeks so I will be missing out on the early part of the season, but I am off to Orkney for 10 days at the end of the month so I hope to make up for some lost time. Cheers BBL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaniel Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I did manage to get out on Monday evening....thought i was in a good position when i spotted the greylags feeding on stubble, tried to call SP3 but my shooting phone would not allow me to make any calls......maybe my phone card is out, well its been running a £10 top up for 2 years....lol anyway geese did appear but a bit further down where i was standing and across the conservation area at Frampton. Heard a couple of shots earlier in the evening but the geese got left alone this evening anyway Did get a nice bite on my cheek bone and it still hurts now and my face is swollan, ahh wildfowling dont you love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silver pigeon 3 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 But what about all those mallards, did they not appear ? Not 1 mate, heard 1 call from inland and that was it, geese all decided to fly a completely different direction to how they have been the last 3 evenings too. If it was easy it wouldn't be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildfowler12 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 (edited) I managed 3 more ducks today, that takes my total to 6 mallard and 1 gadwall, i've had a few opportunities to take some geese too, but I decided to leave them until another day, as i didnt fancy carrying 15lb honker's off the marsh in this heat!! I have to say, I'm looking forward to the cold weather setting in. Fowling in the sun is not great! All in all, a steady start to the season.
