cock grouse 15 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I’ve shot on the Solway for 20+ years but have never shot under the moon. Has anyone got any tips they’d mind sharing to help? Best time /tide etc? Thanks for any reply’s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baz2 44 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Plenty of nice. White cloud and a good pushing tide works for us 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Baz2 44 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Yes, round here tide pushes them off roost, and they lift and go for a feed. You need the cloud tho... Or they can be 30 yards above you and you just can't pick them out 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cock grouse 15 Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I know what you mean about the cloud, thanks. I’ll give it a go if the conditions are right over the next couple of nights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MIK 4,763 Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Just let my dogs out and there’s plenty of geese moving about tonight 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cock grouse 15 Posted December 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well l made the 1hr 30min trip up last night and bingo! Lots of geese moving about, most too high or wide but one skein came close enough for e to drop one. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaylord Botsford 0 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Capturing a big moon is not easy alltime, in a certain time we can take a capture. But instead of big moon capturing, its better to take a photo of half moon, I have captured once. But sorry to share with it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
