How is the Geese activity in your area?

Here in Lincolnshire the numbers really seem to be down this year, probs due to the warm weather and westerly winds, shame really i really like goose bashing and the dogs love to fetch them out of the water :lol:

theirs about 20 thousands on morcoambe bay pinks that is and about 200 wild greys and 500 feral greys and a few hundred canadas, im not sure how many their os on southport but they usually have thousands on their aswell, their were a few thousand pinks feeding in the next field to mine the other week but couldnt get chance to have a do on them with working in the mornings!!

I think young springersam has a comtact in Southport wildfowlers so he may be able to get some detailed figures for our area.

it would be intresting to know how many their is on their, iwas talking to someone and he rekoned thair was 70 thousand pinks and greys, mostly greysin north east scotland and on the orkneys, its more pest control up their think what damage they would do to the fileds, were going up next year for a week hopefully, i no a few people who go up pigeon shooting over summer and they say geese are still their then, the goose guides up their make a fortune, chariging anything between 50 and 75 a flight and usually take upto 10 guns out thats 750 for a few hours think 6 times a week its robbery really,

Yeah, and i forgot about Frodsham marshes to mate i bet there is thousands on there to.

i never really hear anything about frodsham only that its good for duck and canadas, old bill on your shoot use to like his wildfowling was tellin gme about when he got washed off

If im not mistaken he was a member of southport when he was younger...

Have been beating at Ormskirk today and there were few thousnad pinks there.

Last week at Southport I saw about 500 greys feeding on the marshside, no sign of pinks but plenty of canadas as usual, but that may be due to the time of day. Thousands of wigeon there though!

cheers
sam :D

I will try and get some more detailed figures form Southport as I suspect there are far more than i have seen, but my mate hasnt been out in a while.

cheers
sam

Looks like its just my area :cry:

had a look round southport today on the marshes their must of been thousands and thousands of wigeon and a load of geese greylag canadas and pinks

I was tipping in Bickerstaff today chris and there was a massive skien of canada's and about 5 mins later a load of grey's heading towards southport...

its good to sea so many geese and ducks about pity i cant go shooting them!! be good having a crack at all them wigeon, im out in the morning again after the geese their should be a few duck aswell need to get me gun out and all me stuff ready before i fall asleep

I believe that Lathom wildfowlers are after members mate and they are supposed to have there fair share of all fowl too... I will see if i can find some details out for you if you want, their captain is a mate of 1 of our guns..

that marsh aint shot that well thi year so ive been told not many geese, a lot of pintail though, their eiter a 4 or 5 bird limit on their, if you can get any details or anything id be grateful
