Imagine you are seated in your hide at 5 am in the morning just before sunrise.

The cold wind is blowing hard on your face you can hear the geese calling in the distance before leaving their roost.

The decoys are placed out on the field, your gun is out the slip and the excitement begins.

Watching and listening for the first geese to arrive to the field absorbs all other senses.

Des Cochrane and his clients all know that geese are wild birds and not to expect every goose to appear on order.

Its the unexpected, maybe a small party of greylags winging in with the pinkfoot geese arouses your attention.

Des Cochrane and the guides who work with him abide by the BASC code of practice for inland goose shooting.

This means there are bag limits and time factors on feeding grounds to consider.

Des Cochrane welcomes shooters from all ages, gender and countries.

Disabled shooters are welcome and can normally be transported to their hides subject to the crop not being damaged by the four wheel drives.
