oman Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hi folks just seen that you are both from Armagh I myself am from Armagh. Just looking some information about shooting on lough Neagh is it a local club that operates the shooting on the lough or is private individuals. Just looking some information if you could pass it on as I would love to shoot it some time in the future. Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie mac Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Went out this morning with two other guys, their was a fairly thick fog and a frost on the ground, heading out in the boat it was hard to keep the tree line in view so we would know were we were on the lough, you don't want to drift out into open water and get lost in a thick fog, but we got up to our hide and unloaded our gear,back out in the boat and put the decoys out mallard and teal and some black and whites,it was starting to get light by that stage,their was a few ducks flying but nothing coming into the decoys at first ,then a couple came in for a look and all three of us missed not a feather hit,that happened a couple more times,then we started get our eye in and to our surprise we hit one then three came in and we dropped all three,we missed some and hit some more, we ended the day with 7 ducks they were all divers no mallard showed today at all.

duck hunter Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 hey, its pretty easy to travel to scotland with a firearm.when i booked the boat (p&o) i just informed them i would be carrying a firearm,on the day of departure i had to be ther 90 mins before sailing we had to fill in a form and show our permits its only a 5 min procedure, if travelling to the south u will need a european pass to travel with ur gun but to shoot u wil need a southern permit.
