i have noticed a few like this an go to chase them to get them moving and they dont budge.chaped a few over the head last night. looks grim. we onlt put 900 birds down and this pen houses 600

guys we have a prob at our shoot,we have been finding dead or dying poults that have clear liquid coming from there mouth that smells awful,and they are all painfully thin,we got our birds the start of june and all was well then we got some bin end bird that hadnt feathered well or grown that well that we released 3 wks later. these batch were not treated for gapes as the first 900 were,we only got a 100 of these bin end birds. and all the dying ones are at the same pen we released them at. some of the dead bird are well feathered and a good size but all very thin. what can this be???

well i have had my wee dahatsui terios for a while now,my mate has one also,and before i had mine wee done all the lamping in his,and wee took it into places you wouldnt dream,good for getting turned in tight spaces,good turning circle for getting through tight gates. we have had the terios up to its neck in mud and still pulled itself out,with the dif lock switch,its and added bonus to use if u do get stuck. and this is with normall road tyres. id recommend this,though my only trouble is,for other types of shooting,pigeons,wildfowling. it just lacks a bit of space,this is the old model im ref

what to do is,if theres not alot of water lying around,flood your fields and get the duck coming into the flashes,where they can dive for the grain and alot of it will come to the surface also,if you are not allowed to flood the field then wait for a bit of rain till you get some flashes,chuck a few deeks in and sit on your malllard call and pull some in. thats only if theres duck in the area,your best bet would be wild duck though reared mallard will rarley move from the comforts of there own pond,where they are fed every and are as fat as butter.

fowling is a sport that can be quickly given up,being muscled out by local guns who will always know where the birds are and where to be for a shot. these locals are the people that you want to try and be friends with. 5 seasons ago i ventured back into fowling starting from the bottom,walking miles and not getting a single shot or lucky to see anything. you have to keep at it,try and get in the mix with locals see what the birds are doing. the trouble is you have to really study the shore yourself and work it out for yourself,not alot of people will let on where the birds are feeding and t

mossberg 935 mangnum semi auto? what kind of loads were you putting through this for shooting a few pigeons? as this is a magnum gun did it not struggle to cycle the lighter loads??

im interested in this please pm me

because the duck prob have full bellys and dont need to come back until morning,there sitting on the river through the day and flighting off at night most prob.the time you will get all your duck coming in is when the flashes and ponds have frozen over and running water is all they can find. you could try pushing them off in the morning in hope they will come back at night,but i think the majority of the duck will go to fed flight ponds or mabie not fed flight ponds as they have been sitting feeding on your grub all day. try not putting that much feed down so that they rush to come back.and tr

get a firearms and buy a decent rifle

thanks very much for your time,some very interesting stuff on here that i will come to good use. cheers

32 g steel no4 for ducks over fed flight ponds will do you with 1/4 choke,for geese off the shore try remi nitro steel 1 9/16 oz or 1 3/8oz but these are loads for a 3.5" shotgun. ive yet to try the hevi shot but alot of people swear by it, so if its a one off trip why not just spend that little extra on the hevi shot for the geese. steel will be fine for the duck

well there is talk of putting 1000 down next year with the shoot captain on early retirement will be up there most days looking after the shoot,but as you say 2000 acres will just swallow birds. and with other shoots surrounding us its easy to have them wonder? would anybody advise putting a mixture of ringneck,melanistic and blacknecks to see which birds hold better???? there is alot of the shoot that we never even touch as we dont put hoppers down, so the birds in my opinion will just keep on wondering over our boundries to the bordering shoot and find there hoppers,but as somebody said du
