JDog Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I have a golden rule and that is.....only one outward journey. Get a suitable bag to carry on your back which will taken nets, cartridges, a battery for your rotary if you have one and decoys. A fisherman's holdall can take the hide poles, floaters etc and a gun slip will take your gun. Never moan about about having to make two return trips as it means that you have shot a fair few.

ozzy518 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 I had the same problem. I considered various options: Use a Sherpa - Too many immigration/language issues, Use a donkey - Took up too much hide space. Finally arrived at the solution - DRIVE. If i can't drive to the spot, i dont shoot it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Here you go - My fowling troller. Good for marshes and fields. You need to pull - Not push! Edited February 5, 2013 by Grandalf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzy518 Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Or a plastic kids sled type of thing. Just pull it across the field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 You can get a wildfowling sled which is good, a lot deeper than a kids one and goes over the water mud ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/b] Agree. There is no way that any of these barrow contraptions will work in most situations. Either the ground is not suitable to drive over. cultivated, seeded or crowing crops or the crops are growing or too thick to get through. All this leaves is after harvest when the ground is dry and stubble. My ground is only like this for about a week before discing and reseeding. Try getting one through standing wheat along a tram line. You might get ten yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Ello Mary Poppins" style Probably likes the bottle as well. Try pushing a barrow through standing wheat like this. OR driving a vehcle through it. Anyone found doing it through my crops will find their rear end on a one way trip through the gate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Denny Essex and myself spent the best part of a year on a mission to lighten our kit. sounds silly but wherever we could save an ounce we did. We changed nets, decoys, batteries, number of cartridges we carried, seats, bags the lot. I managed to get my kit down to 10kg and Den even less (but he's a lot older and weaker than me so he had to ). That didn't include magnet or hide poles, but did include everything else: 12 FUD's with red stakes taken off and new rods made for them 2 x 4m nets Tent pegs Clips for the net multitool 60 cartridges (always more in the car when you need them) Bucket seat Turbo flapper Flapper remote and receiver Magnet speed controller 1.2amp battery for the flapper 2 x Hyperflaps and some odds and **** like spare remote batteries, cord, etc etc The main component for getting kit to your hide, and getting back on track to the OP question, was a good rucksack. Changing from my big carry all bag to a rucksack that fits all of the above was key. With just 10kg's on your back properly secured makes long walks much easier. Fishing tackle shops have a great selection with loads of pockets so everything is organised. Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deny essex Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Best way I found to get my kit across a field was to rope some un-suspecting newbie to carry my kit as well as his on the pre tense of showing him how to decoy and shoot.
