oxfordfowler Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Even if the count does start - it's so close to the end of the season to have much effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anser2 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I would think we are in day 5 or 6 of the count down. The frost and snow covered most of England and Wales by Tuseday. I expect vol restraint early next week. The long range forcast does not look good with low temperatures and snow forcast until next weekend. A mate and I had a good bag of wigeon , mallard and teal this morning. One wigeon was a little light , but all the other duck were fine. Wigeon are usualy the first duck to show signs of the effect of cold weather. I was out on Monday with a friend shooting pinks on a flooded inland marshland. We took 3 each and sneaked off the marsh letting the late arrivals in undisturbed hoping to get a second flight later in the week , but the next day all the splashes were frozen and the grass under deep snow moveing them out of the area. Typical! There was a time when we prayed for cold weather for wildfowling , not anymore. Short cold spells yes , but not prolonged cold. We still have a long way to the end of the foreshore season Oxfordfowler. Edited January 19, 2013 by anser2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 There was a video on the site explaining how the ban works but the sound quality was poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
