EP 35 - Duck dogs and big tides

A big tide early season gave us the opportunity to try and decoy some wigeon that had just arrived in good numbers, with more pintail than usual. A fantastic morning with Merlin making some epic water retrieves, again!

Thanks mate. He’s epic on water. Not so keen on geese, struggles a bit because he’s got such a soft mouth.

[@ryanwood9sqn]

Really enjoys your videos Richard, keep them coming. Are you North Norfolk Wildfowlers?

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

I shoot on the north Norfolk Coast and on inland marsh around the Bure and Yare valleys.

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

Yes those mink seem to be getting a foothold again. I saw one fishing on the Yare last year. Bold as brass it was

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

Be out there again soon for the Bass when it warms up. Do you fish for them too?
