@@tomom2011 🤷‍♂️ I just try and emulate what I hear. I mainly try and emulate a sitting wigeon’s call. Hope that makes sense.

@norfolkfowlers1973 it obviously works! You're clearly plenty successful. I was listening to American TH-cam videos before realising that they have a different species. Good job as their wigeon are much harder to imitate

@ just a fantastic species to hunt but we just don’t have the open water the NA fowlers do. A lot of my shooting is over splashes at last light and I just can’t record that.

@@williamelliott4472 😂

@@keithhaynes8079 many thanks. Go pro seems to have died so need to sort that little issue out asap.

@@Winston-oo1lu course I am mate. Recognise the coat? 😂

@@Ca_Tule_Ninja that’s a good question. We have very few guides in the Uk and I’m not aware of and waterfowling guides within 200 miles of Norfolk but there’s some in Scotland. You probably can get over insurance issues quite easily for $30. I don’t know how you’d get over shotgun license requirements but I’m sure there’s a way.

@@TyphaDog by the time the birds move here it’s dark so they just wouldn’t see them but i do use decoys on morning flights.

@@roberthay8706 thanks. You’re right, I just needed to get out, the birds were an unexpected bonus.

@@crazyferret9409 100%

@@cheshirebowman4465 thanks. Hopefully some better ones to come.

@@jasonsetterfield627 thanks. Just goes to show they can still be used. The black bismuth were bought by my father so they’re probably 10 years old and still do the business.

@@stevenward6453 thanks. Hopefully better videos will come out later. Need to get some better cameras but I do what I can.

@@stevenlord782 thanks. They’re all so different. Absolutely gutted to lose Merlin so early but Zulu’s done amazing. Don’t think any dog can replace Merlin on water retrieves though 😢

@@CumbrianWildfowler I’ve no idea how to change that now. I think I did mess around with it a few years ago. I’ll try and find the guide and have a look at it again. Ta

@@norfolkfowlers1973just TH-cam it. It takes about 5 seconds. Video mode, then scroll through the 3 modes from wide to narrow. It’ll make a big difference to the finished stuff.

@@HuntinginLebanon94 thank you.

@@paullynch6718 well I forgot my Greylag call for a start and sometimes it’s nice to enjoy the quiet. I’m on the Broad next week decoying, and I will definitely be using calls.

@norfolkfowlers1973 good man love the vids keep it up

@@baba-hx5td another coming soon. Hopefully better luck ones will come out later.

@@CumbrianWildfowler thanks. It just takes so long to edit etc and I haven’t had access to my computer with the editing software on it. Plus I keep misplacing the GoPro. I’ve got to that age 🙄

@@theessexhunter1305 yes it is, agreed. First time in 40 seasons I haven’t done a first morning but night before 1st it didn’t drop below 19° here.

@@norfolkfowlers1973 I was out foxing last night....like getting off the plane in Spain just so ####king hot lol

me and my brother went out on the 4th for the night flight.was that warm fell asleep for a couple of hours plenty of Canada's but nothing near me. always next time though.

@@roberthay8706 you just have to go sometimes and hope for the best. At least it saves all the plucking!

@@theessexhunter1305 yes too hot at the moment. Having to do birds that day and get them in the fridge asap.

Yes have some I’m working on. Just have a few editing issues to iron out 😭

@@norfolkfowlers1973 nice one Just joined a wildfowling club in Northern Ireland, enjoy your videos Could you do some equipment videos

Tungsten Matrix by Kent in a 1 or 3 shot, 36gm load - not made anymore so I have a few left and will then have to use Bismuth. It will take magnums but we were advised by a gun smith not to put magnum loads through it anymore.

Beretta A400 Extreme mostly, that’s the cammo one. A400 light in 3 inch. I pretty much only shoot 3 inch shells now. And occasionally I’ll take out my old man’s Thomas Bland 3 inch sxs. Thanks for the comment. 👍

Thanks I’ll check and let you know. It’s quite an old basic model. I probably need to upgrade and would use a couple but it takes ages editing this stuff as it is. 👍

Just checked and it’s a Go Pro Session. Was about £160 when I bought it three or four years back.

Spot on. 👍

I think you’ll find I was filming us missing Pintail not shooting them. Also, it’s 100% legal to shoot this species and their world wide population is not under threat. Pretending we don’t do what we are allowed to do makes no sense. If they are removed from the quarry list they’ll never come back as nothing removed ever does. Thank you for your comments though. 👍

Yes even better when you don’t expect it. Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks. Really appreciate the subs and likes as I only really do this for friends but it keeps me motivated to spend the time editing and publishing 👍

At times it can be slow, but it’s awesome when the ducks want in. I also love the variety, as you can potentially have every species turn up in later months 👍

Great question and typically it’s when we have a big tide, the sea water goes over the green (vegetation) and the birds can dabble picking up all the seed. However, each estuary is different and I have some spots that shoot better at the bottom of the tide than at the top. I also have areas where the tide coming up doesn’t do anything. Learning your area of salt marsh is key and you’ll need to spend lots of time out, during different tides and weather conditions to learn what is best for each area. 👍

Well thought I was on for a blank for a while. I’m sure you’ll get on to some soon. Need this weather to cool a bit as not really howling weather 😥

I will try my best 👍

I did reload many years back using hevi shot but had issues with my Mec and steel got better so I don’t bother but a mate gave me three and they were good. Bismuth is fine for what we shoot here in norfolk but I’d certainly use some TSS if it wasn’t so expensive.

Hopefully see more videos this season from you 👍🏻

@@baba-hx5td now I’ve found my Go Pro I’ll try to put more on. Thanks for watching 👍

No it’s a Rockland Wildfowlers Marsh at South Walsham.

Very rare for us to get them inland but plenty at the coast. A lot of the coastal clubs have limits on distance so are hard to join but there are a few like Fenland that offering coastal shooting in north Norfolk and Kent also have some shooting in North Norfolk with no membership restrictions. If you want inland you’re spoilt for choice with Rockland, Norwich and Great Yarmouth offering opportunities.

It’s been a funny one. Birds not doing what you’d normally expect, lack of splashes but the positives being Zulu’s surpassed my expectations and two leg rings.

@@norfolkfowlers1973 ah right. We had too much water for a long time that spoilt it a bit. The cold snap helped the flight ponds though. Did the cold snap benefit you over that side?

Yes cold snaps always help pull the duck off flight ponds and reserves and puts them in areas we can get into them. Most of the clubs I’m in have a lot of river wall which shoots well in cold snaps. Snows the best though and once again none of that this season 😭

@@norfolkfowlers1973 snow isn't very common now is it. Although we did have a bit here this season.

Yes shame I can’t use the stuff in it that it was designed for, well apart from in the woods at pigeon. Very tight chokes and patterns bismuth and tungsten commercial loads well.

Got to shoot them in the face (we’d been watching too many Bobby Guy videos). Web went on the club marshes to get under those Canadas but by the next Wednesday they’d stopped flying through 😭

Sadly not.

Slowley, near North Walsham. Lovely gamekeeper but too flat for my liking.

Hardly been shot this year, can’t understand why members don’t use it more.

@@norfolkfowlers1973 I think that is across most clubs. Many of our clay shoots and marshes are down on visits.

Thanks, yes a really good start if unexpected 👍

Thanks and yes. Rockland also do day permits but everywhere is so dry at the moment. If you pm me on my Facebook page I’ll try and help as much as I can.

It’s a junior Hatsan Escort I believe. It’s very small but can take 3 inch shells, not that you can get steel shells in 3 inch.

Lol he doesn’t even drink fizzy mate, he’s a cheap date, water and milk for him.
