wag 13 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 me personally prefer morning flight nothing like the sun coming up and the tide pushing hard and lifting all the waders and gulls off the mud flats in there thousands you carnt beat that sight and sound of it especally when you start to hear the wigeon whistling in there packs regards wag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest k9wpg Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 (edited) me personally prefer morning flight nothing like the sun coming up and the tide pushing hard and lifting all the waders and gulls off the mud flats in there thousands you carnt beat that sight and sound of it especally when you start to hear the wigeon whistling in there packs regards wag Im the opposite mate evening flight , hiding on the edge of a flash dog at your side couched down youve been feeding every other night on the chance theyll come.. checking in early morning for muddy footprints to tell you they have been ..then the anticipation builds ..your dog at your side stirs shes hears them before you..her ears prick up with there distant calls...the first whistle between you and mates as they come..the first shot ..dog goes out you cant see it in the black of the fields your relying on her to find it, she at your side again with the bird and shes awaiting like you the next wing..

v-max 2 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Hello it swings in round abouts & pending on place.Wag has stated real hard wildfowling on the coast/estuarys/mudflat's & they are tideal based for shooting.I think K9wpg is talking of a flight-pond which you feed which is best shot on an evening & are fed & sucsessful if worked right & shots garenteed.Pond's are easy to monitor & work as it takes little effort compared with that of learning flightline in certian wind's over many year's of being out there & very little garentee of taking a shot on the coast.

wag 13 Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 sorry i did not read the thread properly too . but i only count coastal shooting as wildfowling if your shooting inland on ponds, rivers etc. then to me thats just inland duck shooting and for costal wildfowling i would most definately say morning flight is the best with a tide pushing. regards wag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never thought it for a minute mate,but you raised a point there "you should know the variations in working dogs from trialling" What do you mean by variations?

v-max 2 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Hello sorry for the confusion on what i put with dogs but your trialing dogs are more polished off in obejence compared with joe bloggs doing a bit beating etc.I have seen so many good dogs & very obejent like a trialing dog & more that just know how to fool there owners & like myself with my cocker he is great but know he could be better but he dosent damage drives & im happy.
