    Up at the big pond tonight my mate an I are using pump guns we got 4 shots off before our turk guns jammed.

    Any way we landed a couple of fat drakes for our effort.

    First one fell on the land.

    Next one landed in the pond and got munched by eels before we could retrieve it

    Buggered if I'd be retrieving anything out of that dam too.

    A man might fall over and quickly become eel bait.

    The boy walked on water the other night. Was picking up a duck and felt something pulling against him. Looked down, screamed like a stuck pig, and hightailed it out of there. Reckoned it was the size of his leg. I've had the odd big one barking it me before on the pond

    true deepen the pond to Dundee.
    but my uncle worked on that more the better theory when blowing a hole for the pump intake in his local creek.
    a fullish plug instead of half was used and when we retreated 50 metres away to await developments.
    we received a rather wet reply as Christ knows how many gallons of water were propelled skywards and what goes up must come down .
    thankfully uncle bill was the most soaked but his enthusiasm for gelly was never diminished.

    I saw a stump go cartwheeling across the paddock because .... it just need some extra oomph!

    Luckily we were observing from a safe distance on top of a small hill.

    Trifecta with Mack this afternoon and just missed out on a pheasant, he flushed four I got shot in the air but no result
    He is developing real well first retrieve on a swan big bird for an adolescent.
    Mallard was a drop in the drain find me if you can he was up to the task.
    He pulled up a winged pukeko too

    Picked up a pie & a drink for lunch from the Z station on the way out, it must have slipped off the front seat said sooty sitting in the back of the double cab with the rear seat up. He managed some how to get the bag containing pie through to his compartment with his paw I thought what's he up to managed to save it before said black pie muncher had done any damage

    Went out and had a shot with an old mate on his pond. Pulled up and it was black with birds. Pushed them off and waited, and waited, and waited. Only ones that came back was a pair of spoonies. They sounded like jets coming in, wings roaring, but landed to far out. They're a great looking bird, and deserved to live another day anyway.

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention Dundee. Fat fingers indeed. The Rushy giveth and the Rushy take th away. Corrected now.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
