wigeon jim Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 You might have been one of his guns that managed to clear a once very good goose farm near me, the geese never went near that farm again for almost 10 years due to over shooting, Jim.

theinvicta Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 Sorry but the guides up my way are vermin. They drive around chasing the geese and flashing cash at farmers. They then spoil the shooting for some local shooter who has been helping the farmer out all year, by shooting his pigeons, crows, rabbits and foxes. I know many people that ended up being asked to pay for there shooting because of guides offering to shoot a field. Sorry, but certain guides had been in flashing cash at a few of the farms that I shoot last year and luckily they got chased. Sorry if I'm bitter, but shooting should be done by trust and loyalty and not by poaching ground at the expense of another shooter. I'm not prepared to name drop on a forum, but If I have offended anyone with my rant, then i have got my point across. Safe shooting and some day we may meet in our travels.

Penelope Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I must admit I didn't think much of the man when I went with him in '89'. A bit full of himself and condescending. He wasn't too impressed when my party said we preferred being guided by his employee at the time Sandy Aitkin who was a much nicer chap.

After morning flight, he would join us for the famous wildfowlers pub crawl through the town. The story's he tells are priceless and a huge knowledge of goose shooting. My opinion still does not change on goose guides as they are all vermin and have told him that often over a few rums, but as a person he is a great guy.
