Geese

[Quixote]

I hear 'em. I just can't see 'em

 

[Pedro]

Haha. Trouble is, you can usually hear them even when they're stratospheric.

 

[TringSaint]

Prefer to put decoys out and shoot them with the 243!!

Sets your pulses racing that sound. Fabulous. Much better to have the thrill of chasing geese around than actually get amongst them !

 

[Scotty99]

This is the way to get amongst them. Layout blinds in the middle of the decoy pattern. They come right down on top of you, so much noise, the geese calling, the wind through their set wing feathers, a real cacophony.

I just stalk them these days with a rifle. Just easier.

Maybe. But you miss out on the magic!!!! They don't call them goosebumps for nothing

And you get all of the thrill, but none of the plucking!

Thought it's due to how their skin looks....

Don't put that gun on ground or you'll no see that either!!

The noise made by a really big herd of fallow on the move is almost identical to the babbling sound of skeins of geese flying over, and equally thrilling when they're very close but it's not quite light enough yet to see them.

The sound of the first skeins starting to move as the first glimmer of dawn breaks the sky is a sound that'll forever bring the hairs up on my neck

Fecckin auto correct!! makes you wonder the things I text if "decaying" is what it auto assumes......

I once messaged my mum to ask how many 'f*ck' breasts she'd like

The morning flight in the layout blinds was with Aberdeen Wild Wings up in Scotland. They are on the web if you want to look them up. Also if you want to go further north then try Orkney Shooting Holidays also on the web.
