why i hate stubble paddocks

becoming a habit aint it??:yaeh am not durnk:
had over 300 geese on the wing last night there were 70 on the ground when i walked in, bugger.
ended up going it alone as noone could make it on short notice.
right reasons 1]virtually no cover
2]with so much about the slightest thing puts the geese off and they go 2 paddocks away:pissed off:
3] dont use the straw in the paddock unless its only from the top of the pile?the stuff under/in the pile is yellower and sticks out like a dogs bollocks.
didnt shoot the big lots and took 2 out of a group of 4 so hopefuly tonight they,ve settled back in and we can figure a better plan for cover and decoying:yaeh am not durnk:more to come hopefuly

Good skills with the camo job tonight

Ha ha ha ha on bloody geese?

sit against a trough with a camo net over your legs and dont fire till the first one touches down.

and a good set of decoys helps too

funny as hell watching them look at the decoys and start to smell a rat

i have had some success approaching parries and squawker birds up wind so they have to fly over you. if you can get within 60m or so then run out upwind of them they have to head toward you to get up and if it's a good breeze the don't go very fast

Geese have wicked eye sight, not sure about any where else but here if they spot you they know somethings up and it becomes very hard to get anywhere near them

unfotunatly run and gun aint an option:pissed off:
no troughs in these crop paddocks pits might be an option ?
main problem is i dint think we are the only ones having a go at them.we heard rifle shots scatre guna and some shotty action so theres no wonder they,re cagey as.
we had one little lot come in from the side late and picked off a couple of those.
we set up one way so they,d be coming into the wind ,so naturally the wind died completely and they landed behind us.
we swapped around and the next birds landed exactly where we switched from:wtfsmilie:
oh well if it was easy everyone be doing it:thumbsup:

mine the bloody paddock and get ready to catch anything remotely resembling an edible part of a goose or parrie.the flying rats though doubt if thered be anything left.PS good earmuffs &an understanding cockie may help too.
thelast option is to skina goose out and sew muzila in it then get him to flap round the paddock like a horny wee lassie to bring the young dumb&fulla cum ones in!

excuse my ignorance but humor me please.

If you had a reasonably ballisticly efficient round sub sonic and suppressed so all they would hear is the projectile hitting the dirt, shooting from a couple hundy away would you be able to pick a few off or would the whole lot Piss off at the first shot?

They piss off pretty farkin quick. I have got two with the rifle out of a mob once, and the 2nd was on the wing (Yes it was safe).

as the man says,most geese now are bloody wary.if a couple fall over in their midst -theyre generally off faster than a tomcat with methanol dripped round its a...e

You would have to put your hands in places that hands shouldn't go:sick:

muzz was in fine form last night,gigleing like a schoolgirl when we cleaned up a mob of five geese and when we had mallards bombing right into the goose dekes.
we must of seen some 400 hundred geese with about a hundred or more wanting in on us. problem was they all wanted in at the same time bloody spine tingling and frustrating all at once.it all become to much and when a pair came in closer than the mob behind it,after the 3rd circle, we snapped and dropped them .the mob of five must have liked muzzs aftershave and tried to land on his blind but flared enough so that i could help in knocking the whole lot down.we got some video of a mini duck tornado but as it was quite late the after action pics didnt come out to well under headlight illumination.suffice to say it was bloody good fun.soon as i figure out how to send pics from this bloody new phone i,l post something up.
ps muzz remembered his boots last night after thursdays revelation that spiky stubble and sandals aint ideal:D
