Pick your empty shells up

[Des Cochrane 0]

This greylag was shot by a group member out with Des Cochrane and Alan Croston Loch Leven area. The spent shell fast over its bottom beak had appeared to been on for a long time as its beak had grown over the sides.

The plastic colour had lost its pigment and the underside was heavily scored, the base metal was missing probably rusted off. Alans lab sam retrieved this goose and at the time Alan thought it sounded like a neck collar rattling. The goose was in fair condition but could have only fed by at least half an inch of its beak remaining.

That's disgusting!!..

 

See a lot of empty shells strewn around the floor round here, p'raps it's too much to ask to pick 'em up?

Unreal, of course the offending shell could be from anyone anywhere from Iceland to France but there is no excuse.

 

I picked up a shell of just about every known no-tox brand on the tideline at Montrose last week. I lost one of my own having shot 5 but I took home 15!

 

Why on earth did the goose attempt to investigate it!

i dont see why people cant just put them straight in a bag/pocket after the shot, thats what i always do.

My problem is shooting 3.5" out of an extrema, they fly 8 feet! But I always go back to look for them and my scitty lab chases them and if not I can ask him to sniff them out!

 

But I always make sure I take home more than I fire whether I can find all of mine or not.
