I use 4 Duck Commander calls and find them great. I've got the Triple Threat, Ole Raspy, a Duck Picker and the Original Commander. I've got 2 Primos teal calls too. My son uses Buck Gardner calls which also sound great.

I bought Pro Logic gear off of eBay this year. Absolutely brilliant and warm. Only cost me £100 for a fleece lined parka and pants. It was in Max 4 advantage

Myself and my young lad headed out first thing yesterday morning with no joy.It was the worst morning flight of the season. in the evening we met up with 2 lads that we've been shooting with all season for the last flight of the season. A mate of mine tagged along too. We split up,myself, m mate and my son setting up on a flooded field and the other 2 boys going onto a callows on the opposite side of the road. A pair of mallard got up as we headed in,no shot. We had teal and widgeon flying in over us but were too high. My lad dropped a teal but it kept diving and the springer couldnt get it. T

So nobody organises goose hunts in Northern Ireland? Does anyone know of any wildfowling clubs that I could contact please?
-
Hi lads, I'm wondering is there anyone in Northern Ireland that organises shoots for geese? There are a few of us that shoot together all the time and would love to do it as none of us have shot 1 yet. Also, what are the legalities of taking your gun across the border? Thanks in advance Jimmy

Retrieving using a dummy launcher.I'm trying to steady her and not have her flying out as soon as I fire a shot,hence the lead.

Andy, she's 9 months old not 7 but she is big. J Davies she's doing the same now. If there's no fresh sent, she won't go in. She flushed and retrieved another cock this morning when I had her out for a run.

Cheers lad,totally agree with you.Need to steady her up a bit.She flies out too when I fire a shot.I've started putting her lead on her and standing on it to stop her taking off.

I've used the 12g Black Gold 30g 6's and I think they're a great cartridge.Some killing power in them. -
Thanks for the advice lads. Took her out for a run earlier. She rose 2 teal off a drain. I shot 1 and it dropped the far side of the drain. Sent her across to retrieve it. Took a bit of time but she found it. Couldn't be prouder. Her first retrieve of a duck

I've tried running her with my 3 year old springer bitch but most of the time she keeps trying to play with her, biting and toppling her over. She did follow the springer into light cover this evening. Happy days

Hi lads, Was wondering if you could give me a few pointers on how to get my 7 month old lab to hunt cover/ditches. She will go in a small bit now and then but not all the time. I know she is still young,does it come with time or is it taught? Thanks Jim

Springer,all the talking is like Philuk said,a bit of encouragement for a young dog.Its her 3rd or 4th time out in the field so she is still learning.I dont intend hunting her this year as shes only 8 months old now.

Been a while since I put anything up about Jess. Shes 8 months old now.I found I had been doing a bit too much with her and she ended up just doing what she wanted so I went back to basics with her. Today is the first time I've had her outside of the garden in a month and I could see the difference in her. She was steadier and listened to me more. She was eager to please. Here's a few videos I made today.Beginning to hunt nicely.

Remi, let me know if there's anywhere myself and a mate might go up there for a crack at a goose. Not much round me here. Mlk what extended chokes do you use?

Spotted a few ducks knocking around the other day while I was out for a walk. Can't wait to get going again. Wedding anniversary today and the wife bought me a box of Stormfront decoys and a couple of Duck Commander calls . She knows the way to a wildfowlers heart lol.
