    I'm selling my Schmidt bender stalking scope. As above 6x42 German made reticule 2 (centre post and cross bar). It shows the usual marks associated with a hunting scope but the optics are crystal clear. This is a standard ring mounted scope not a fixed rail. Ideal scope for a stalking rifle. I will add pictures later. Asking £290 shipped. Thanks Mark.

    You wont go wrong with either if you stick to those 2 makes. Been shooting fabarms for 5 or 6 seasons. Guy i shoot with has had his 7 or 8 seasons. Another few of my friends shoot them too. Never had a problem with them and we're very hard on autos. Cycle everything from the lightest trap loads to the heaviest goose loads. Great handling guns. Nothing wrong with benellis either although i have seen them jam on lighter loads. To the best of my knowledge fabarm dont make an auto which is 3 1/2" chambered if this is an issue for you. Atb Mark

    I have 2 brand new baby mojo mallard drakes with stakes, new type with magnetic wings. Never out of the box. I brought these home from america last year. They were 2 combo packs of a baby mojo and a floating mojo. I decided to keep the 2 floaters for myself and sell the 2 babys off. £75 each. £4 p&p

    Agreed Mik. 36 gram 5's will shoot geese every bit as far and every bit as dead as 56 gram 1's + faster onto the next bird due to less recoil. Anything short of full choke is for girls!!

    The canadas are spreading out well. No shortage of good canada calls out there. I'd go for one of the poly carbonate calls like zinc, primos or buck gardner calls. All will call geese when you get used to blowing them. 20 snow's would be a nice sight. Id settle for 1, preferably at 25 yards with his feet down!!

    Buck gardner double nasty would be my choice for a budget mallard but there are lots of good calls out there. Haydels, duck comander calls both sound well in the right hands.

    Banagher in co.offaly i assume. No lead ban in the south yet as far as i know. Stick to the good old lead as long as you can. Do you know what type of geese you have? Down there i imagine there grey geese of some sort, either greylags or whitefronts. The later are protected. For greylags something like 40grams of 4 or 5 will do your job well. Rc's, B&p's or noble sports are all worth having. Rc 40 semi magnums in 5 would be my choice if you can get your hands on them. Will advise you on calls when i know what type of geese you have.

    Being from Ireland i can shoot them all with lead as long as its not over water. B&P 36g 5's or 6's will do all. No need to carry 5 different boxes of shells!!

    Quite easy to tell the difference. A snow goose is only about half the size of a greylag they have many different plumage phases but an adult will be pure white with black wing tips. 1st year birds are a similar grey to a greylag but have a white head. You would be much more likely to see them in with a flock of pinks then greylags. Domestic geese being originally bred from greylags call like greylags. Snows make a 2 note call similar to whitefronts or pinks.

    Are you on facebook?? Look for William Wykes. Pretty sure its wigtown he shoots. Good fella, we had him over at the divers last year. Im sure he'll answer any questions for you. Atb Mark

    Greys generally fly early, with the exceptions of very frosty mornings, mornings with heavy fog or in and around a full moon, they should start to arrive at your feed fields at the first crack of daylight . They are the wariest of all the goose species so make sure your well covered up. They have a habit of flying high so good cover overhead is a must!! As far as calls go dont overdo it. There really easy to overcall. If your not used to blowing a call at them dont try to reproduce the skirls you hear them make as they fly, they make a soft gaggle sound, say ha ha ha ha ha into the call and le

    If they start to ferment you'll have drunk ducks!! Twice as easy to shoot. You'll know the ones that have eat them, they wont be able to fly!!
  14. remi700
    Well done again men. First greys showed there faces here yesterday. Give them a week to settle in. Hopefully get a whack at them next saturday.

    Scaup, pochard, tufted, goldeneye, widgeon, teal, mallard, gadwell, shovelers, pintail and we also get canada, greylag and pinkfoot geese.

    I found this in a widgeon a few years ago. Seen an article in a ducks unlimited magazine explaining what it was afterwards but i cant remember what it was!! I wouldn't eat it anyway.

    Sometimes they work great but sometimes they don't. Depends on the day you use them. I've seen ducks committing suicide over them and days they just ignore them. Anything which raises the visibility of your decoy spread has to make a difference. Stay away from wind powered ones. There nothing but hassle. Go for mojos. Been about the longest, they work and parts are available. Atb Mark

    Good going mik. Shovelers are on the list in the uk and N.Ireland.

    Good to see. I put up 6 the tuesday before the start of the season. Then i done the mountain on the 12th evening and never seen a thing. Just the way they go!

    In N.Ireland it is illegal to shoot any bird or game on a sunday. You can still shoot Non feathered vermin. In the republic you can shoot anything on a Sunday.

    Thats the american way. They call it magnum mania! The only problem with heavy loads of steel is the heavier the load the slower it goes. Thats ok if your shooting 1000s of the same round week in week out but if your going in cold turkey working out lead to ensure clean head and neck shots wont be easy especially not at range. 63gms of steel must be an amazing amount of pellets though. Similar pellet count to about 140 150 gms of lead!

    Shoot noble sport 56g 2's and 3's for years at geese. 3 years ago we started to shoot b&p 36g 5's and 6's and we've been having twice the kills at every bit as long of range and further and thats nearly all canadas and greys. You'll certainly have no bother shooting greys and pinks with 36g loads! Put them through a good tight choke and put it up the front of them. Anything behind the neck is a waste of a cartridge! If you have to use steel lighter is better. See if you can find anyone that homeloads if you don't yourself. 30grams of steel doing 1650fps is alot more effective then 36grams
