    Hello all, this will be my first post on the wildfowling page. I would like to get into wildfowling but dont know and one who does it, or where on the coast you can shoot. Im a gamekeeper based in south west scotland and know a fair bit about driven shooting but nothing about this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello all, Im looking for some advice. I have been given this 17-18 month old pointerxlab. it was given to me because he guy who had it to many dog on the go and she wasn't geting the time spent on her she needed.

     

    anyway she walks to heel come back to the whistle and everything but i had her out running at the back of the quad bike the other day and i fired a shot at a crow (thining nothing of it) and look round to see the dog going full pelt the other way, if i hadn't had the bike with me i would have lost her. Im a grouse keeper so we are busy shooting this time of year but i thought i would take her to a shoot day on the lead and the sound of shots far off getting louder as she got into the butts would help. she didn't show any signs of fear and i thought a few more days like that would sort the problem out.

     

    but yesterday i took my .22 (modarated) out with me when i was walking the dogs to see what she would do if i fired it next to her, when she was running about with the other dogs i fired a shot into the ground and she didn't bat an eyelid, then i fired one when when she was walking to heel and she clamped down then ran back to the kennel. i tryed it again today making no fuss or anything with all the other dogs walking to heel to and she still slunk back to her kennel.

     

    Ddo you think if i do this every time i take them out she will come round and i can build up to taking the mod off and work up from there?

    cheers for reading, Tom

    alright folks,

    I know this post should be in the "Wanted" forum, but i tried and didn't get much feedback.

     

    Thing is i had to put down my last wheaton/deer/gray, he was young but had the makings of a good dog. it was gutting, i'd put alot of time into him and he was a bonny dog.

     

    so im looking for another pup, I'd like a Wheaton/deer/gray but i'v not heard of many others so i would settle for anything big hairy and game. maybe a deer/gray or a wheaton/gray, if anyone knows of such a littler in south/middle scotland could they give my a PM

     

    Thanks for reading

     

    Tom.
