Big Al Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 The first outing of the new season on duck. My shooting is still not at a standard I am happy with, but getting better. Trying out a new steel load - RC 34g 3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Thank you kind Sirs! Ted still has his moments, but is coming on. I was forced to start working him too young (due to me not having thought far enough ahead) so he has been learning on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Many thanks for showing you video, looks a very nice place to be, in wildfowling terms very plush with the stone hide and lead teathering point. atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Very good sport. Where are those ducks going? Are they flighting inland to feed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Many thanks for showing you video, looks a very nice place to be, in wildfowling terms very plush with the stone hide and lead teathering point. atb It is quite luxurious! I wouldn't call it wildfowling - I'm one of those awful purist types - it isn't even salt water. Ted gets as excited as I do when the season comes around and I set up the lead as a precaution. Thankfully I didn't need it. One drawback for the dog is that he can't see and almost every retrieve is blind.

Big Al Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Very good sport. Where are those ducks going? Are they flighting inland to feed? It was a morning flight so the majority were likely going to roost. As well of lots of bays and inlets suitable (especially when it's windy) there are many other smaller loughs rivers and streams a mile or two away. The water level of Lough Neagh is controlled by man and the level has been lowered a number of times in the past 150 years. The exposed land can be a rich wetlands (and farmland.)

Paul taylor Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Enjoyed that thanks. Looks a great place to get away from the world that does. Good shooting and a cracking dig👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Thanks lads. I used to be a proper foreshore wildfowler but since I moved house Lough Neagh is simply too close to ignore! I enjoy shooting with good companions but I enjoy shooting alone just as much. Sometimes I prefer to be alone, apart from the dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
