Upnorth Uplander extended an invite to both Petros_MK and myself for opening weekend, who could refuse?
I noticed no one else has done a trip report as such, so I think I will just throw a few pics in here and let them speak:

The double-up cock - fierce debate raged as to who shot it, especially after my shooting partner missed one earlier - Autopsy revealed both #5 shot and #7 shot present

Well done fellas
Fantastic lot of photos and it looks as though everyone involved is as happy as a pig with its face in the trough.
Only one bird came in,and its still out there:wtfsmilie: Missed the bugger,bit of light rain falling tonight, big pond tomorrow if its pissing down as we have a roof over there.

Plenty of potential poultry pie there Duxbac
There sure is Rushy,the older birds are breasted and the younger Geese are plucked and roasted in a oven bag with stuffing or put into a steam hangi where the meat just falls off the bone.
