flyawaymac Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Arrived home last night after a long drive back to Exmoor from Holbeach, my son (Scott)and I had spent 3 days on the permit scheme out on Sheps and both scored our first Wash pink. This is just a brief thank you to those guys from Spalding and Holbeach Wildfowlers who helped when ever they could to point us in the right direction and a particular thank you to AYANO3 (Graham) who did his utmost to put use under geese, a credit to the sport. thank you Gents P.S. can now put a face to the name Big Mat (not pretty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Well done , that's why I did not get one down there tonight then , you had already shot it !! Whats the secret to getting Graham to put you in the right place , I need to know it , let me guess you bribed him with a breakfast ??

ayano3 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I am pleased you had a nice weekend on the wash guys. Just don't tell anyone you shot the pond in Fishpond Lane Holbeach . Thanks for the breakfast bribery does work, Cherry Cake Stu ?? did you get in the tin on Monday too Mick said Matts mum made a good cake. Hi UK, obviously these guys could shoot straight Keith/Scott, Pleased you both got the reward for your own efforts, we sometimes take for granted the fact that the marsh is only 15 minutes from home. Let me know when you book again and I will sneak down and sit close by you . Edited November 6, 2013 by ayano3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 I always thought ponks were protected as they are so rare , they have been known to cross breed with the pink though and I am not sure if you can shoot the resulting pinkponk cross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
