fenboy Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 My first season wildfowling has been a steep learning curve and as such my total for the season consisted of just one wigeon . I decided to give it a good go in the last week but had another 3 blank flights so it was down to the wire on the last day. Fortunately help was at hand and I was taken out by a fellow fowler with a great deal of experience who went out of his way to ensure I had a few shots. My shooting was unusually wayward , its not so easy stuck in a small creek and I fluffed my first few chances . I then managed to get a hen wigeon which was soon followed by my first ever cock bird . So the season ended on a high for me . Already looking forward to next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontbeck Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Big bags and wildfowling don't belong In the same sentence. Each year at Lindisfarne the average visit produces half a bird. That means you have to visit twice to shoot a bird. Wildfowlers accept that, it's not a numbers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man shares his success after a long hard season of trying to get under the birds, and it has been very difficult and you come out with that?
