    On our afternoon outing down one of the fine rivers today, I took this foto ... one of my father's favourite poems was about Crusoe ... he only ever recited one line and it went like this, particularly if we were getting close to a hut and saw footprints heading in the same direction ... poor Crusoe saw with fear struck eyes, the footprint on the shore ...

    Finally got the young fella a drake for the season.This is the young bloke that I refereed for his FAL and has been out on multiple ocasions with me.Tonight paid off.Bird breasted and he was happy as a pig in mud,as he did fall a metre deep for the retrieve.

    Got one here this morning and dropped an evening drake at another location.Worst season ever only 14 birds down.But did have the enjoyment of introducing a new FAL holder too the sport and he shot two so licence was $93 which means it was $46.50 a bird for him without expenses.
