Something special being on the shore in those conditions.Makes you realise how fast those old ducks fly.Gives me plenty of excuses for missing.

Nice to see a variety of duck in the bag ,the hide looked a snug fit.

Thanks for another great adventure.

Thanks greylag.  It was great to be there. As we walked down we stopped on a number of occasions to simply watch the hundreds of wildfowl in the sky. It took a while for us to realise that we were there to shoot!

The hide was very snug - especially when two cold wet labradors also decided it was the best place to be.

On a different day I would have moved to the hide 40 yards to the right out in the water but I didn't fancy wading too far.

There were no decoys out. They would have blown away, anchors or not.

Top class Big Al some fantastic ducks buzzing about 👍If you had put decoys out they would have still been in the middle of the big lough lol Dogs didn’t seem bothered by the weather 👍👍

Cheers Gerry.  The dogs were very cold after it. The oul fella (Ted) was hobbling badly Saturday night and Sunday,  but he's grand again now.

I might semi retire him soon.

Wildfowling in a storm is something special, your video certainly captured that>
To coin a phrase from a well known film, "we need a bigger hide".🙂

😂😂

We definitely do need a bigger hide. A bit too snug! Thanks for the comment Cranfield.

Good video. A day like that makes the cold, the wet and the mud worth it.

Cheers. It was a really wild one alright! The ducks had the after burners lit and it gave us some explanation for the misses.
