ayano3 Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 It's not that long ago we didn't have our own little area on here but thanks to the mods we now have our bit. The numbers posting have gradually grown and we see new names coming along and joining the interesting debates and topics. I find it brilliant to listen to many views and thoughts from all parts of the country, and abroad too. It's good because I have had the pleasure of meeting some of you and shooting with you. I can't recall any negative comments since we started up, which is a credit to everyone. So for all the above comments I think this is maybe the best thread on here. Thanks to the moderators for creating this area for us, we told you it would be worthwhile. Your thoughts please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Yes ditto that, I'm starting out my wildfowling career and whilst I'm not sure I'll ever be as hardcore as some people it's a fascinating branch of shooting and has many disciplines which I think cross over to many other types of shooting. I supported the request for a separate section and I really think it's paying off. And I shot my first duck last weekend, using none other than an AYA No.3!

silver pigeon 3 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Without doubt the best section on PW!! And at the moment it seems all the idiots and whingers have not found it, or not interested in it. Long may it continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) No,it's rubbish compared to Off Topic which is by far better than the shooting things with webbed feet and fly as fast as one of Richard Bransons hot air balloons,but are easier to shoot. So there. Just thought due to a lack of whingers and idiots on it i would take up residence and add some sanity.

poontang Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 By far the best section. You can always tell when the 'fowling season is about to start as people ask all sorts of questions about quarry, cartridges, guns, equipment, and safety on the marshes. We're regaled with stories of trips out in the mud, the rain, the wind and the snow. We talk of long walks and the haunting calls of distant geese in the early morning light. The whistling of wings as the ducks pass by, in range but out of sight as darkness falls on a cold winters evening. We talk of all the other sights and sounds only an early morning trip to the foreshore can provide. On the other hand you always know when the game season is about to start...as everyone wants to know the best tweed to wear!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Croc Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Wildfowlers are a different breed completely in my opinion and that of a few people I have spoken to, and that we have the cream of all the Shotgun Sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry P Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I think the best thing about this section of the forum is the number of potential new fowlers it seems to be introducing to the fine art of wildfowling. Like most fowlers i'm happy to be sat alone on mile after mile of foreshore but the sport needs to encourage and introduce new people to the marsh if its to continue. I've enjoyed reading about others trips to the shore and look forward to more and more as the season really gets underway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler12 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I have to agree, I don't think I've posted in any other section since the 1st! I particularly enjoy the 'Wildfowl 2012-13 Season' thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoggy Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I haven`t been a member of PW for that long. But one of the reasons I did join was because of the seperate Wildfowling section. Although I occasionally do post in other sections and i do enjoy shooting the odd pheasant and pigeon, wildfowling remains my main interest and always will be. At the moment I`m concentrating on shooting my inland washes, but still have lots of banter with the coastal boys. In such a short amount of time I`ve already made new friends and contacts. So for me the Wildfowling section is the best!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbird Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 All shooters love their hobby and many are keen to share, and generous with their time and knowledge, not least wildfowlers. That is perhaps why they are so often keen to help newcomers to enjoy the sport they love so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpk Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 We have been needing a Wildfowling section for a while. I for one am glad it is here. secretly we are a refined bunch, although a little muddy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washwildfowler Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 a well moderated wildfowling section goes a long way, it's great to see this section getting a lot of support from people who actually get out and go wildfowling but as always you got the odd arm chair fowler lol ... great section long may it continue ... regards WW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windmig Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Hi, my question may not be politically correct vis a vis pigeonwatch but considering that you are numerous and dynamic, why don't you create a wildfowling community in a place more adapted to our hobby ? It is quite hard to find you on the web... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 There is the wildfowling forum but its quite hard to find on the net!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 It's good because you can see how people are doing around the country. It's interesting to know how birds are moving around and what people are getting. However i have to say that the majority of wildfowlers I have met are very secretive! Can't be giving too much info away now can we Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windmig Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 You seem to be effectively secretive whereas in France, we share more spontaneously our observations ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
