rimmie Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) Listen I'm not one of these usual trolls on here,that love moaning but shooting into a flock ? 2 wounded geese seems a bit much to me. As I say I'm not a moaner or a fowler but I wouldn't personally shoot into a big flock like that. Your first shot was lovely, great shot and smashing dog !! Please don't think this is an attack, just an observation. As said I'm not a fowler, so this could be the way it's done ?

Please don't think this is an attack, just an observation. As said I'm not a fowler, so this could be the way it's done ? Come off it! The first bird was picked out from the tail end of the group. The second shot was hardly what i'd call shooting into a flock. I'm sure just one bird was expected to fall, but two came down.I have done this a few times, myself. All birds were retrieved no problem. The man did nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmie obviously hasn't done any fowling before and just doesn't appreciate what a great piece of shooting this was. Using a shotgun, it's always possible to hit birds other than the intended target, but he didn't "brown" the skein and try to clip them all. No wrong done.

muncher Posted November 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well i remember my thought process on that flight . first shot i though the only shot on was the outside rear as it was only one in range took the shot , bird dropped , thought that was it , then they bunched and curled towards me and i realised a second shot was on picked my bird and shot two fell wasn't intended just happened . browning into bunches normaly done by novices ,and normally results in misses.

FlagUp Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Good shooting and dog work right enough. I got a surprise when you shot over your dog's head! Not something I would encourage unless you were very confident he wasn't going to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlagUp Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 Are you being serious? His dog can't fly! At about 2 minutes into the vid the wounded goose was shot again at ground level. Not really the done thing in my experience and I certainly wouldn't want any newbies trying it at, for example, a pheasant shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherwayup Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 (edited) ... please excuse the dogs placement ... Is there are particular reason the dog was outside the hide? Is that your normal place, but the dog is covered etc. Just wondering. p.s. Your Evening Flight video is awesome. My heart would be in my mouth if that lot flew over me.

muncher Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 yes, i dont like my dog in the hide, normaly put a net over her or if there's some cover she will go and hide up and come when called . I'd just got back from holiday and hadn't any sleep and just lost ot for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from that reply i would say your not a wildfowler . ducks geese on water are hard for a dog and if safe should be despatch on the water dont like to risk losing a wounded bird .

So would u have risked the goose getting away injured if u know a marsh environent u would realise things can soon be lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A perfectly normal wildfowling technique to avoid losing wounded birds. I once shot a mallard that disappeared completely as soon as it hit the water. I waited for it to surface but it didn't. I watched and watched and eventually I saw a small stick (turned out to be its beak) moving slowly down the shore. Two shots saw the now dead mallard popping up to the surface. I can only assume the mallard had been doing the back stroke just under the surface - I've never seen the like of it since! Great shooting - 3 for 2! Thats the kind of economy I can associate with!
