Ep 38 Alex's first Greylag

It's the evening of the 1st September and we are out with our new Labrador Zulu. After many misses last season Al bags his first Greylag and Zulu picks his first ducks. I was using RC Atomic Steel 1s & 3s. Alex was using Eley Biowad Steel 4s.

Very nice flight.

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

Just a shame more members weren’t out to enjoy it.

@@norfolkfowlers1973 But some times it's nice to be the only ones out. Hate it when you spot some geese or ducks heading you way when some one else has a pop and they flair away. Enjoy the rest of the season.

Great video and a great memory for you and your lad! After watching your video on the Broads i have booked 2 days with The Rocklands Wildfowling club in late October for myself and my 14- year-old son to hopefully create similar memories. Can you suggest were the best place to set up would be and any helpful tips as we have no idea, having never been on this Broad before? Also, we are arriving the day before we are shooting for recon reasons, but we would have time for an evening flight that day if we could join a club on the wildfowl permit scheme. But which would be the best club to ask as there are so many nearby? We will be staying near Loddon . Many thanks ..ohh yeh my son has a 20 bore with Eley Biowad steel 4s as well and i have the same but 12g 3s.

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

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.

You're some wildfowler mate. What on earth is Alex going to be like? Zulu looking promising as well. Look forward to seeing more.

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

Very kind, thanks Andrew. Just need to put some hours in to Zulu and we will see how he goes 👍

[@crazyferret9409]

Is that Cantley?

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

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

[@baba-hx5td]

What 20 bore does your son use

[@norfolkfowlers1973]

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.
