greenshank1 407 Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I was out this morning doing more training with my young black lab Corbie. It was a cracking morning with greylag moving out in the bay and quite a few mallard going to and from the shore. See attached pics 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

greenshank1 407 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Cheers Mate Aye she is looking not too bad at the moment. I am waiting to hear back from the local farmer to see if I can shoot his fields for geese and the greylag are coming and going all day I can't wait. I am giving her plenty of training as hope to have her beating for pheasants on a local shoot starting in a few weeks but one day she is brilliant and the next like she is crazy and real puppyish so time will tell.

remi700 99 Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Thats the job. It' will be another month before i see any greylags here. Headin to lough neagh saturday. Got a couple a fellows from up there a good day at the canadas two weeks ago now they have 400 scaup up infront of there hide. Should have a good morning. Fairly typical though took a drive round yesterday evening. Found 2 separate fields of canadas ready for shootin. Have to work tomorrow and we can't shoot on a sunday.

greenshank1 407 Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 Scaup !! We don't get any here. We get loads of wigeon but only when it gets cold and lots of mallard but scattered about in small groups. It will be interesting to see what weather we get this winter and see how many woodcock come in . Last winter hardly any and the two hard winters before you were genuinely tripping over them. I am hoping for a hard winter and plenty of woodcock as they would be great for the dog to work. Good luck with the canada's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

remi700 99 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Finished up last Saturday with 24 Scaup and 2 Tufted. All shot before 8am. It was a hectic hours shooting. Stayed on in the hide and took a mug of tea and a few photos, ducks were still bombing into the decoys. Could have shot 100 easy by 10am. Got some fantastic photos! Hopefully heading back this weekend for another go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
