    Hi all what guns do you use for wildfowling? Pics would be great and if you state barrel length and chamber length what non toxic shells you prefer and sizes etc I've been out of the game for about 6 years now used to use an f t baker 10 bore 32 inch barrels 3 inch chamber gamebore no 1s for geese tungsten matrix and 12bore aya no 3 28 inch barrel 3 inch chamber used various different cartridges.

    Looking at getting back into wildfowling but want a gun I can use as an all rounder

    Not really wanting a 10 bore any more mate I shot with an ft baker hammer gun for years. Would prefer an all rounder gun that I can use for everything can't justify having a 10 bore sitting in cabinet for the marsh. Most of my duck and goose shooting will be inland over flight ponds but have always fancied taking a trip in Scotland and was thinking maybe be it would be wiser to get 3.5 chamber. Surely steel is the way forward? 25 tungsten cartridges are like 30 quid now

    Decided last night that this morning is try for a muntjac or a fallow pricket from my new high seat alarm was set for 5.oclock got up and dressed had a quick cuppa coffee and set off for the high seat was about 5.35 by the time I was sitting in the seat wasn't there 2 mins and could see a munty buck grazing as he crossed from the right hand side of the meadow to left along the ditch that devises the chicken farm with my permission but he was on a mission whistled him twice but wasn't gonna stop and he made off in the shadows. Was thinking I'd missed what possibly could of been my only opportunity as it can be hit or miss here but within another 15 mins another munty buck making his way in exactly same direction as the last but stopped to have a nibble on the bushes giving me a chance to get a shot in was about 120 yards the shot was slightly lower than I'd of liked but still did the job. Defo need to get a moderator sorted out as reckon I could of possibly bagged another
