Lloyd90 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Anyone used them over recent years? Are they still recommended and good? Is September in Orkney any good on the geese? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambam1962 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 My mate and I went up to Montrose Shooting Breaks for 5 years on the trot, and always shot the 1st week in November. We always had good shooting and Ian Gill was great to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambam1962 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 We would travel up on a Sunday and shoot for 4 days, and return home on a Friday. The 4 days shooting was £340 + £250 each accommodation in Edzel . We had a bungalow which would have slept 6 people and only 2 of us in it. Just bear in mind you have to have some where to dry your clothes after a day’s shooting. We had people shooting with us, who was staying in a hotel in Edzel and had no facilities to dry their wet clothes. Please note the last time I shot Geese in Scotland was 6 years ago. It was definitely a great experience and thoroughly recommend if you have the opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Can’t comment on goose guides but geese tend to build up from early October. September may be a little early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, with Raymond you really do know what you're going to get, he knows his game inside out, nothing like the wannabe's . . . .

Never been before sorry You can shoot lead inland over stubble etc, as long as it is not a pond or wetland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
