jok 3,257 Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 Odd. I was going to post. Had a knock on the door the other morning. Here you are Jok. A nice brace of mallard which my wife and I are having for Sunday dinner. I agree with you in that, I open the forum every day but am still stunned at the lack of new content. IMO.

jok 3,257 Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 Bearing in mind this is the Midlands, driving back from the pub I was slightly staggered to see what I thought was a stork. I mentioned it to the lads and have been informed it’s a white egret. Apparently there are quite a few around the area. Jok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aled 482 Posted December 18 Report Share Posted December 18 (edited) Went out last Friday on the marsh in West Wales, ducks everywhere....all around 300metrs away! None came in to my decoys. Sadly! Did however see 4 rabbits on the marsh, not sure if club rules allow me to shoot them. Edited December 18 by Aled Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackmag 6,093 Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) I didn't get out boxing day due to family reasons then a couple of days fog knackered things up so went tonight out with the lad again we went to a pond I have been feeding for a month or so but haven't shot it but with the amount of grub going I expected a good flight for him got there nothing on it which is usual then dogs marked a freshly eaten mallard we was sat there when the dogs started growling up walk 2 lads from next door who I have chatted to previously when feeding got talking they tell me there waiting on the ducks and they had previously been saving it for 2 quests they invited up as they had seen how many ducks were coming and between them had nearly 40 shots the other night when i said its because im feeding they said they were on there permission whilst shooting as the pond is about 20 yards of the boundary hedge is it me or is that bad manners as I wouldn't dream of pulling a stunt like that Edited 12 hours ago by Blackmag Quote Link to post Share on other sites
