joe soapy Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 you are very fast to condem this, might be right ,or might br wrong. But the most popular tread on here is the punt gun build!!. I remember when the first pair of canada geese arrived here, was very pleased to see them nest and produce 12 young. Not nearly so happy now that there are 300+ of the things eating my grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Welcome to pigeon watch CW but be prepared for the long & lonely road of exposing wrong doers & wildlife criminals on this forum & not too mention the insults & ridicule you are likely to get from small core of persons on here but do keep up the good work because too many just bury their heads in the sand & pretend every thing is all "" Hunky Dory ! "". You are not preaching to the converted so ignore those comments , there are those in the background who read this forum & say little or nothing & a lot of them are what I can only refer to as the " small w...y numbers boys who are never never never satisfied & always want more simply to boost their pathetic egos . Some of the things that have happened here where I live are down right disgusting & these are the very things which will in the end undermine us & bring us all down , but be warned & as said its a long & lonely road being a wildfowling & wildlife guardian & a conservationist on pigeon watch . Will PM you . Nice to know you hold us PW members in such high regard polestar We put up with your almost constant whining about Italian shooters , pogo stick shotguns etc,etc.etc,etc I think you are just one of those who likes the sound of his own voice and that everyone else just needs to shut up and listen. the video was put on before and was universally condemned but that is still not good enough for you is it ? nope you want us to still to have to listen to POLESTAR and his rantings. What should we do ? hold a witch hunt and burn at the stake any member who has shot more geese than you or I find exceptable ? or perhaps the moderators will be good enough to ban anyone with a name that sound remotely Italian I admire the fact you will stand up for your beliefs , but just as I tell the Jehovahs that turn up on my doorstep from time to time , I don't like have someone else's beliefs shoving down my throat .

Pole Star Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) See what I mean CW ! strange thing is I did not mention the things you claim Fenboy this is a public forum & it is read by all & every one, the Italians the police the RSPB & not to mention the antis & the numbers boys that will bring us all down . So why another attack on me ? you must surely agree with me that those who bring us into disrepute need to be converted ?? . Yes I am all for bag limits but only with guarantees from the government & the RSPB that it will not be the thin edge of the wedge , whats more it is high time all goose guides were licensed & submitted bag returns . Have a nice day mate . Pole Star ps no offence Edited November 4, 2013 by Pole Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hear hear fenboy. I personally would like to hear from Contemporary-Wilfowler as to his personal experience of wildfowling, which wildfowling clubs he belongs to, other types of shooting he partakes in, whether he is an RSPB member and see his profile completed in full before I consider that he is anything other than a stooge. Call me a cynic if you will but I am also manganimous and if he proves his shooting credentials I will be the first to hold my hand up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony G Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Maybe after seeing this video my posts regarding foreign guests shooting 300 pinks in one day will be believed ! Does anybody know where this video was taken as I've just got back from Aberdeenshire myself ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I take it badly what I have highlighted , perhaps its because as I have said despite the damnation the video has created you are still not satisfied and the same as you Italian crusade you are now like a dog with a new bone You have turned rubbing people up the wrong way into an art form polestar , yes I agree that something needs doing but I am not naive enough to think that bag limits / laws etc will stop these people , they will not give a toss , they are motivated by greed . What bugs me is that these people keep getting referred to as "wildfowlers" they are not and never will be wildfowlers , they are simply people who shoot geese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holloway Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 The bottom line is the guide responsible is very likely known to forum users somewhere... the subject has run for a long while.... and no name has appeared ,probably never will .And as the mods rightly point out they havent done anything illegal ,it is at least reasuring to know that such things disgust so many of us. It is widely said that such films as this on the web will be the final nail in wildfowlings coffin. The guide could be a forum member for all we know.....someone from that area must know who it was.!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I see little that can be done , if bag limits were enforced with law they would be ignored by people such as these, the guides who are happy to let clients shoot this way will not care as long as they are getting paid Unfortunately changes in law will only ever affect the people that will obey the law , the changing of the law regarding lead shot for example the true "wildfowler" has taken it on board , but the shooter of wildfowl certainly has not in the vast majority of cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Well I think the registration & licensing of commercial goose guides would be the best start ? Anyone agree ? . Perhaps but remember even the guide in the video has broken no laws so how will it work . Perhaps making it illegal to shoot wildfowl for comercial gain ? but that would effect shoots that put duck down too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
