marsh man Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 The real danger was the thing i was pulling out of the mud! I am sure he would have done the same if the boot have been on the other foot ( so to speak ) ...............Or would he ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fal Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 lol this made me laugh, having been stuck in the mud myself! Even though the tide could be hours away, it's still scary! I sacrificed a whole thigh wader to get out! I went back to dig it out at low tide, I'm too tight to have left it there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guttersnipe Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Well done on both firsts - what's next on the list.... Its amazing how strength sapping the mud is once it gets to your knees, brings back a few heart stopping memories - not to be underestimated on even the most innocuous gutter. keep up the reports though - good reading.

fenboy Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Sorry fenboy ,it only can be ticked of the list if its in full plumage I still want a full plumage drake Jules but I can now say I have shot a pintail, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6.5x55SE Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I still want a full plumage drake Jules but I can now say I have shot a pintail, Indeed you have FB and on Jules principal he has yet to shoot a Whitefront lol I'm sure with the effort you put in a full plumage Pinny will grace your hands. Keep your ears to the ground IF they get hard weather Holland-Germany and Belgium as going further North in your new club will/would give you a very good chance of a Speck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenboy Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 To get most of the species on the shooting list in two seasons is remarkable , with just the Whitefront and maybe a couple of the lesser known duck ( if you havent already got them ) your wishes are nearly complete . You will then have to tick off right and lefts on the different duck and geese , but what you call it with a three shot auto, I don't know. Getting stuck is a warning to new members and people who don't know the area well , get used to the marshes you intend to go on in daylight and not to venture out by yourself in the dark unless you know the area well and you know where the dangers are . I still need a foreshore Canada marsh man which is a possibility on some of the marshes I am shooting and of course a Pintail drake in full plumage will be most welcome. I have shot Golden Eye, Tufted and Pochard though that was some years ago and inland and I think it would be very difficult to do on the foreshore. I did vow to never shoot another shoveler but might make a exception for a drake , though it would be the dog that got to suffer eating it rather than me !

muncher Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hands up, I have still to shoot a full plumage speck and even though I have shot a whitefront it still doesn't feel complete without the bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
