Some very good advice there & as said you have a huge dilema & she is not obediant mate as if so she would stop to your whistle & you wouldent have a dog go 200m away. The method RS uses with running in opposite direction is good but more done with a pup that keeps its head down or wont listen. so you walk away or hide from the pup to build insucurity but with a 9month dog you will need to run away from her. I presonally would go right back to basics with the sit/stop whistle in a controled enviroment & get it down to 100%. Once sitting instintally to whistle i would change a

Well done teal are very good to eat & shoot top sport.
-
I bet they taste like chicken!! Sorry yes i like them a bit like duck so to me very good but you get old geese ie 15yrs old + so they could be tough.

I picked up a good tip from a trialler who got it from wendy openshaw & for a wet dog get a leather or synthetic shammy as it soaks up the water & is very compact to carry & drys them quick.

sounds like montrose to me Yes it is Montrose & there is a count of 51thou in now & you can shoot your pink limit with ease & fowlers are getting them in half a flight.

I know what your saying & greed did kick in a wee bit as i took my limit & plus the 1 i got returned to me so had 6 & is basically a record for me. I never bother the geese much in my area due to them getting hounded. In a month fae now you will struggle to get a goose on the mud flats of the basin & my family & i are big eaters of the game i get & iv given a friend 2 of the bigger geese thats what he wants for lobster & partons .

I had a morning on thursday at my local marsh with plenty geese in our area. I was heading out to a shoot so kept to the edge & had a right & left with my newish beretta semi-auto. I then moved onto the mud 100yrd or so out & got another 3 pinks by 6.45am & was at my limit. I had hit a young pinker which fell dead into another fowlers decoys 300-400yrds away. He made his way to me when he saw i had packed up at the edge of the marsh to give me my young pinker which i said for him to keep but he had enough & had shot a greylag too. So i thanked this nice wildfowler up from m

v-max replied to john robbo's topic in Deer Stalking & Management
I shot a buck very simillar on monday to yours a nice 4 pointer but his head gear was well intact. On the ground i shot him i have to take them as i see them & he came in at 40lb clean very good condition for his age. I am in a very good medal area & our big lads quite offten cast from now as iv seen big 6 pointers 3rd week in january & clean 2nd-3rd week in febuary. -
Im in Montrose & our montrose basin is moving with geese i recon 30tho + & a few duck showing up now. I aint been out much but have had a golden eye & a hen wigeon on the 1st & plan to go out on the basin tonight & tomorrow. I cant beleave the amount of geese in & think they are well up on numbers than last year at this time its just moving with them.

Binocular Magnification
v-max replied to Bobba_fett's topic in Gamekeeping, Conservation & Shoot Management
Hi for the hill you want to cut wait trust me so for the normal hill-keeper stalker is 8x30 swarovski slc to spy & a spotting scope to look in detail for stags. Any decent 8x bins will do & 10x is a bit much as the eye can only handle 7x. If they are for in your rover etc then 8x42 would be very line to go down thats what i work but work lighter 8x32 when stalking. -
Come on Tom you new it was a greylag why ask???. Well done on the goose i havent shot any yet this year.
-
Hi i know spence & his FTCH dog & it was a very good dog & size. I also seemed to produce good pups i cant beleave he isnt studding it no more it was a cracker of a dog iv seen it work & some of its protogee.
-
I have just had 30-40 come over the house tonight comming into montrose basin saw my first lot beging of the week.
-
Sorry but dont you mean a strong woddler as iv never seen a duck run sorry couldent resist. Well done to you seen them on laid crop quite a bit & its easyer for the dog rather than the water ie river/sea. A wounded duck can be a pain on water diving from the dog much rather pick them on land.
-
My diks not little just ask your mum ...not bad hopefully buying a new browning cynergy black ice tomorrow Are you at home??? & have you got what you were after ticket wize??. It was your wife that told me about the little toy you have but you make up for it with stamina & willing ness to please. I take it your going for the black ice with the pink composite look it will suit you. I have just seen 22 pinks that i would say are new commers tonight walking the dogs so it looks like its them comming.

I had a BSA CF2 in 243 & 222 & they were great. I used the 243 all the time & had no probs with the poi after 4-5 shots. My dad now has my 222 & its not seen day light in years & was very accurate i loved the stuzens. My mate had a manlicher 243 & that moved about a bit so he got rid of it but it was a very nice rifle.
-
Very good but i need it camoed up as not to scare the ducks comming in. I bet you hear that sound alot when you are shagging with all the air getting in by your little d**k vulva man. Hows tricks any way???

using a .243 sound moderator for .22-250
v-max replied to JackWard's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Hi you mention the 8x57 i used to use a 8x57js but as for your mod answer the magnum rounds are a whole diffrent ball game & you need to state that when buying the mod as a 30cal mod would not be fit for a 300 win mag dispite being a 30cal too. Alot of mods state there use on web sites for cals ie can be used up to 300 win ultra mag or for up to 25cal etc. -
Nice well done the pooch looks an old pooch what you think of those dog vests would you recomend for dogs out on the massh/rocks of our coast??.

There is about 130 canada geese & odd local grey/pink but other than that there not started comming in yet vulva man!!

Hi i was out this morning & slept in a wee bit getting there at 5.35am but all was quiet so not much movment. By 5.45 i was in my spot & after 5min a few mallard was comming up & the shots gave the other shooters position away so it was fine to know where other fowlers were. A pricked mallard pitched in beside me so i picked it with my dog & offered it back to the fowlers 100yrd or so below & opposite me & told to keep it. So no shots for me & im 1 mallard up. I had 1 teal / 4 mallard & 1 golden eye come by me but i felt they were not safe to shoot due to being

I was looking at some on rifles at RG-rifles & they were very nice indeed & felt good. Im going to get 1 next time im there as i have had trouble finding 1 i like they were £34-£36 cant remember nor the make of them. They were like the £34 1's on bushwear you mention.
-
To be honest i havent been looking but have heard the mallard on the river near me & there is a few going about mallard/teal. We have some canada geese in but they wont hang round much once the shooting starts & im out in the morning tomorow for the 1st cant wait. Dont think the duck have done to bad this year breeding & expecting a few second brood stuff maybe so might still be early yet for them.

Send it back to be re-purged with nitrogen is your only option really & if its a swarovski etc they will do it free for you or they normally do.

Sound Moderators, are they really required?
v-max replied to andyf's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
For the .22rf its not heavy & i think its 6 & two 3's with the mod & mine is always on the rifle. When it comes to the cf-rifles then yes the balance goes all to pot but the positives of the mod to me out way not having it on & i dont like the boom now. As for balance i recently looked at some custom rifles & must admit they balanced so much better that it shocked me & they were not heavy rifles either. I dont know if it was the actions its self or the MacMillian stocks but it felt unreal to me my tikka 695 felt heavyer to me any way.
