FOXHUNTER1 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thats an amazing flight for 2 hours , well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky gipsy Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Thats a lot of geese from one flight to be sure. I'm glad to hear that they will not go to waste, and presume that after such a red letter day that they will now be left to come back to the stubbles in peace for a long, long time. PLEASE don't let anyone else refer to the sporting shooting of the magical pinkfoot goose as "a serious ganda cull", they are much more worthy of more respect.

Good job the stubble has been well protected this morning. May I ask how many guns accounted for this bag?

samyw Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 If there doing damage just like shooting a lot of woodys or rabbits but if just havering a flight at them to many for me but it was between four guns so not to bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 There'll be plenty of people on this site that could shoot a 'large bag' like that on geese if they wanted. If it was really crop protection you could have shot a few each and after that just taken one bird out of each subsequent skein that came in. That would still have kept the birds away without shooting too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
