  3. There are bloody thousands of them that pour into our fair land every winter........most of the, never get seen.........so enjoy shooting and eating them
  4. No eastmoor is still very much alive and kicking. Its a secure unit now for very naughty boys. The main buildings are no longer used just the new secure unit at the far end. It holds some of our countries finest up and coming maniacs
  5. Unlucky mate, mine did her hock ligament last year, completely severed it. Had some serious surgery at a specialist vet, all screwed and rodded and eventually she was as good as new. The secret to her recovery was cage rest mate and lots of it. Good luck
  6. Says you're 26 on your profile you little tinker
  7. Teal-do them now.........pheasant-do them next saturday............woodcock-do it next saturday but leave guts in
  8. I agree Wag, too many dogs and people are lost. My pond is shallow for the most of it. Take care
  9. Had a good flight weekend just gone on frozen pond, half a dozen mallard and same amount of teal shot. I have feeders and the birds are still using them, duck prints all over the ice betrayed their usage.
  10. Great flight inland last night, 6 Mallard and 5 Teal (including 2 to one shot ) Couldnt pick one of the mallard which landed on a patch of ice and the dog wouldnt fetch it. Still its being chilled till the ice thaws

  12. When i need to check my stock mate i tend to use Gill net, wait for half hour, the floats will start jumping around and you know you're in. Can take 30 -40 fish easy, all released safe and sound after checking

  14. Pleased for you, i lost my Cocker 6 onths ago to cancer...........went just like that, weight fell off her in days. Cometh spring cometh a new pup
  15. Shot 5 malard last week at flightpond. Chopped legs off and froze carcas but reserved the legs for something special. Marinaded in salt, thyme, garlic and bay, for 48 hours and then slow cooked in goose fat in aga for half a day. Stored sealed in fat and the re roasted tonight with some beetroot and spuds and elderflower jelly.............a little salty but well pleased...............Feck Napoli have just scored.
  16. Look at some of Mackems threads in relation to 'unusual methods' to catch trout, he nows his stuff and is a loss to the site even though he was a down and out rogue

    flight pond

    could be a number of things, duck found better food, have you shot it ?, bit of water come down ? Keep feeding mate and build the numbers back up. If it was that easy it would be no reward, gotta earn the right to be out at the right time to shoot the birds.
  21. Manchester United and Fergusan have been a smug set of pompous, aloof, swaggering set of tosspots for years. I for one am glad the wheels are coming off

    I've never tried 'the used piece of bogg roll on a pole' trick whilst decoying geese, how does that work then
