    Horrible weather in Invercargill, which was good as it got the birds moving. 3 birds 3 shots, pretty happy.

    Now I understand how the saying "having your ducks in a row" came about.
    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

    Just got back from the farm after a quick shot with my son.
    4 mallards 2 parries and a goose.
    Not bad for half an hour over a couple decoys.
    Dropped another mallard but lost in the gorse. New pup arrives this week.

    Shouldn't lose many next year.😆

    I'd like to say we got birds for Africa, up to our armpits in feathers, but Murphy came to play today. 6 birds this morning, and only one tonight. I was hoping for a good shoot, since it was the boys birthday, but he was over the moon with the 2 that he got. Great shots they were too. No wind and blue skies, just not the recipe for hunting ducks
