fat man 4,741 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Well lads how did the morning go for anyone at the ducks.We were out at 4.30 and at our chosen pond by 5.15.Things were very slow to start with ,but as the morn wore on it livened up and we came away with 9 mallard shot and 8 picked up.1 was dropped into a river and although the 2 labs worked hard to try and find it they failed,but a good morn,roll on this eve.Good shooting everyone,and most important,stay safe.

gene66 4 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 First time on the marsh for me, came home with a 1 Canada & 1 mallard, but as Wag said " plenty about but very high ". Still a brill morning and would have gone just to watch, 2 in the freezer is a bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dave1372 83 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 Out this morning down at the bay by Dunbar and missed some geese but bagged a mallard and two teal, so not too disappointing as I am a bit rusty on the shotgun front after spending to much time on the rifles. There were a couple of boys on the bay that bagged about half a dozen geese and teal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
