pavman Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 nice bag pavman do you eat the snipe or give to a friend The snipe and widgeon will be eaten sunday, roast pots and all the trimmings, yum yum Mrs P will pluck the goose (she is better than me) and it will go in the freezer for new years day It really was hard work, i must have walked at least 5 miles each day with maps and compass taking notes and just sitting with the binos looking for flight lines, started at dawn and leaving just after dark, i really was getting some grief for being empty handed for the first 3 days, but thats Wildfowling, you have to learn the marsh and how the birds flight over it, great to have new land to shoot will look at another new bit today, pavman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pavman Posted December 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2006 Guys the gun is not the new Extrema II thats still on order! Its the Escourt with half choke fitted and Heavy Shot carts 40 grms number 3, I set out to get under the flight lines of the pink feet geese we have crossing the marsh, you need some punch to drop them. But as with all best laid plans they never came over me in range. Then shot over deeks on a splash and called a greylag in with my pinkfoot call, ho hum a goose is a goose, the widgeon where expected and the snipe was a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
