aister Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 We have had some excellent fowling weather up here the last couple of days, gale 8 gusting higher with snow and a hard freezing. I took a couple of days off work so that I could take advantage of it since I haven't had many duck this season. Yesterday I went for a walk among the dunes at the back of a beach which has a burn running through it and some open bits of water that for some reason stays open when everything else freezes over. Its a good walk of about 5 miles and there is always duck when its freezing. It was tough going through the snow and I had to keep stopping for shelter every time it snowed but I managed, after plenty of missing, to bag 4 mallard and a teal. I have had a real struggle hitting ducks this year. After seeing plenty of ducks there yesterday I went back this morning and did the same walk again. I bagged a goose in the first light before I set out walking, could of had more but I was a long way from the car and was hoping for duck. I set off and when I got back to the car I had the goose, a mallard, a wigeon, brace of teal, a very tired lab and sore legs. Well worth it, it is always more satisfying when you have worked for yer bag. Happy hound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
