madhunter Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) You want to shoot 7 days a week and will travel anywhere, you must have loads of time on hand and money, wish we all could be like that to follow our hobbys and past time. If your that mad and have loads of money to burn, then contact the guides but as previously mentioned inshore shooting ends at the end of the month and I dont know of any guides that will take people out on the foreshore, usually by invitation to local club areas and by the sound of some of the posts you wont be getting many. A more softer approach may have been better. As I live in the north of Scotland I have been approached by many PW wildfowlers usually via a PM about the shooting up here and I am more than happy to point them in the right direction and to meet up with them as it is a long way to travel and I have been assured by the guys that I have been in contact with and meet that If I ever travel down south to give them a PM and they will be glad to take me out on there local foreshore or marshlands. As said good luck with your search finally a response from someone with a mind, thank you big bad linz, i've only been on paid inland shoots once, so i just wanted to have another go before the seasons out, thanks mate Dear Madhunter, I feel that you have been a little unfair to a lot of good people on here, I well know that withing the forum there is some difficult people to deal with and sometime myself too, thats passion for our sport for you.....but to say... "but as soon as anyone gets in to wildfowl territory you get a bunch of illiterate ******* bullying and trying to attack you, i think its bad for this website, and bad for the sport in general, i'm surprised the admin let people get away with it ", that is such an ignorant and rude statement. I recently discovered the attraction...romance...beauty and passion in wildfowling, a couple of polite post and pms later, and I'm starting to get invites, help,advise and very good laughter with some really nice people from the forum...and yes...wildfowlers, I don't want to mention names...theres is to many. Arrogance its a beast that sometime its not easy to tame....you failed at the start of the training brief. The more you react, back answering, been rude and ignorant to wards members, the more you will lose some great help,advise and invites, sometimes we need to take a step back...think for five minutes and count to 30, before opening the mouth, and sometimes we have to man-up and apologize for our behaviour, like you in this case. Mark i havnt been unfair to anyone mate, if a newbie is simply asking questions, and getting a response like this, this website will be dead faster than anything, i didnt ask anything except, if anyone was offering a flight, simple thing, not rocket science. and my statement about people being rude and bullying, is a fact, im new to this site, and thats how i feel, so good luck pigeon watch, and terry p. i wasnt looking for someone to take me out and sit me under a duck for free!!!! i was expecting people who sell flights to get in touch, that was the whole point of this excersise Edited January 29, 2013 by madhunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madhunter Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) I've said it before and i'll say it again, you really havent got a clue what you are on about! If you treated people and the sport with a little respect you'd find the the wildfowling section is one of the friendliest on the forum! Take a look around and you'll see people being taken out for flights by other pw members and people just generally being friendly. I hope no one takes you out on a marsh and quite frankly it sounds like you would be a disgrace to the sport! Have a little respect for people and the sport/quarry and you might get somewhere... yes big mat your right, people who have little respect, like the people who hit out at newbies on this website, when all they ask for is for anyone selling or offering flights, take a good look at yourself!!! sounds like you just described yourself!

TJ91 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 If you are new here, dont go off like you have. Introduce yourself, let people know where you are, what you shoot, your experience and POLITELY ask if anyone could help you out with a flight as you are interested in fowling The NEED to shoot a duck or goose will automatically put you in the bad books of any true wildfowler as that is not what fowling is about. If you dont like a comment...ignore it, just wait for the advice you are wanting The more you argue the less help you get. If someone comments that you have come across in a bad way, explain to them (POLITELY) what you want and why..dont have a dig and moan. There is ways of doing and saying hings and this isnt the way.

pigeonblasterian Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 so the seasons coming to an end, does anyone know where i can shoot a couple flights in the next couple days, theres 2 of us, will drive anywhere thanks all Just be aware that if someone does offer to take you out there may be no geese about. I paid £50 for a flight a couple of weeks ago near Harewood house and never saw a goose. To say i was disappointed it putting it lightly. It was the first time i had been on a goose flight and felt let down. I felt as though i had been put in a field and been charged just to stand there. I think the place had been shot too often and the geese had gone. So be wary but good luck to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try for once reading the thread instead of reading into it what you want and spouting rubbish. I'll be totally up front with you I'd help anyone and have done many times in the past but your chances of getting a flight with me based on your posting on here is pretty much zero. Your not new on here a month or so ago you tried the same thing and got the same replies but then you claimed you were asking for others and concerned with youngsters coming into Wildfowling. I'm still not sure if your trying to wind people up or are just dim to be truthful. Either way you won't get any help the way your going. You can come back and portray me as unhelpful or what ever you wish, quite frankly I couldn't give a toss. The only person you will be harming is yourself. If you want to be a Wildfowler or just shoot a few duck your either going to need deep pockets or a change of attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry P Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 exactly I see aswell as getting no takers you also don't get the fact that I having a joke about your last thread. Look fella you have called us illiterate, scroungers, unhelpful etc etc, you've been given all the advice you need. GO AND JOIN YOUR NEAREST WILDFOWLING CLUB. You asked is there anywhere I can go wildfowling, how vague is that, no where did you mention you were looking for a guide to take you out, but i've mellowed in my old age and am willing to believe i've got you all wrong so perhaps if I may, this is how I would have asked. Alright guys my names*******, I'm new to wildfowling and after some advice. I'm looking for some help in finding somewhere to go for a couple of taster flights, if it comes to it i will pay for a couple of guided flights, is there anyone you'd recommend. I live in ***** so the closer the better but i'm willing to travel. Any help would be much appriciated. Cheers ****. I feel sure this have got better results fella. But seeing as you've continued to slag us off and moan perhaps your bridges are burn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about that fella, if you want to try fowling again try and get your hands on the basc permit book, lots of clubs that offer permits and many of them are guided in the cost of the permit. Or before booking another guide ask on here for recommenations, having said that you could have just been unlucky and the geese just did not show pal. As has already been advized many times if your keen to try wildfowling find out where you nearest club is and try and join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mat Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 yes big mat your right, people who have little respect, like the people who hit out at newbies on this website, when all they ask for is for anyone selling or offering flights, take a good look at yourself!!! sounds like you just described yourself! You seem to have forgotten that i gave you all the info to find flights through basc some time ago. You just don't get it do you? Try for once reading the thread instead of reading into it what you want and spouting rubbish. I'll be totally up front with you I'd help anyone and have done many times in the past but your chances of getting a flight with me based on your posting on here is pretty much zero.

If you want to be a Wildfowler or just shoot a few duck your either going to need deep pockets or a change of attitude. At the end of the day the guy is a loon who does not know what he is talking about. And this is coming from a guy who got into wildfowling through pigeon watch and has had no end of help from fellow wildfowlers this season which has been my first season, which i believe is down to having the right attitude and some respect! Sorry to hear about that fella, if you want to try fowling again try and get your hands on the basc permit book, lots of clubs that offer permits and many of them are guided in the cost of the permit.

ayano3 Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 I think the bit that sort of spoilt the chance was when you said you need to shoot duck or geese. I will explain to you mad. I take people out and even take people from other clubs who shoot the same ground. But I do this because I want to pass on my experience to other people like people did to me. The first thing I was taught was respect. Not just to the person showing me their marsh craft, but to our quarry too. You will find up some of the most helpful people if you show that respect. We have no given right to shoot anything, we work very hard to even see birds...to have a shot is a bonus. If you take something home make sure you enjoy the meal as it could be the last one from the marsh. Maybe your a good person. But you just didn't ask in a very good way. We are all approachable people but we don't invite people who we think wouldn't be able to continue our traditions on. You mayIhave burnt your bridges but a better approach ...as the one above...would have more than likely secured you a flight out somewhere.
