I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE IN NORTH EAST THAT CAN GIVE ME A GO [don't mind paying small fee] If your a member of BASC they have a permit system you can buy and get taken out on the marshes for some Wildfowling. I love being out on marsh with my dog, if I'm lucky enough to get some in range and get one or two for the pot, fantastic. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figgy I know exactually what you mean, nothing better than being out there, just you and the dog. Maybe a few bangs and a nice retreave.

Does make a difference we you get a young bird. I put the older ones through the mincer now. That's half the chewing done for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.philmypower. Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Superb video ! Really,really enjoyed that Thanks buddy, look forward to viewing some of yours this season. Then longevity of this thread is certainly complementing the shooting, both steel and camera! Cheers Chris. Does make a difference we you get a young bird. I put the older ones through the mincer now. That's half the chewing done for me Is their an easy way of aging a bird before biting in to it, as I understand it's something to do with their feet?

wildfowler.250 Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I just go by general appearance. But they say the ones with "forked" tail feathers are the younger birds and the adult birds have straight edges to their tail feathers. Also heard anecdotes like,"if you can snap off the lower beak easily, it's a young bird" and "if it's easy to tear the webbing on their feet it's a young one".

I'll have a closer inspection on my next outing. I'm sure their was a thread on aging geese last year. Would be a lot easier if they were all ringed lol ( that is a joke before someone jumps on me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffryn Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Yes very enjoyable, good viewing as yours are Duffryn - when do you start listing your vids again! Thanks. I've left the camera at home for the last 3-4 days (no time to edit). I've got some more time now so will start from this weekend Thanks buddy, look forward to viewing some of yours this season. I'll be doing well to beat yours - some serious competition ! Hope to start filming from this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
