well lads im just into work after a good morning. got 1 mallard and two teal so not a bad result. i have never seen so many ducks on a splash in my life but we found it hard to get near them, but going back tonite early and we will get a head start and hopefully get a few on the evening flights. A great start to the season so far!!!

I have been hunting deer for a number of years and have heard that there are some wild muntjac out in the wicklow area and was just wondering if anyone has seen them.

I was there on Saturday and it was a great day. Noticed a big price difference between the UK trade stands and Irish stands for the same items. A game shooters vest same make type etc €32 (uk) vs €40 (IRl). All in all better than last year.

What's the duck forecast for Monday next? Are there many about? I was out last night and the night before checking out a few likely spots and in one spot I put up about 70 mallard and 1 teal in their midst! They hadn't been shot at yet because they didn't venture too far away. Down on Lough ####### last night and my usual opening morning spot was covered in feathers - enough to fill ...
