    went out for last hunt of 2017 today -another farm up the grey valley.bugger all about-had one mob of parries in sight but just settin up to do a stalk when a hua of a domestic broke out about 6 in a scrap screamin and divin at each other before headin everywhere.
    had another pair come in a little later but farmstaff had a mob of cows in the adjacent race and courtesy &commonsense ruled.mind you id have been hard pressed to clean em up anyhowcause on sighting these bellowing shitting things and short fat man with long hollow stick,they soon figures out fuckofski was their saviour.
    beautiful day to be out and about though over here in grey,and its duck for tea tonight so I cant complain.
    thanks to darryl &suzanne for hosting me,indeed to all those farmers who selflessly allow us duckshooters to hunt on their farms. may your generosity repay you 6 fold.

    Visited the family in Te muka last few days.....few social visits to a few farms I got permission to shoot on last time I was down and they were disappointed I never bought a gun down, ducks for Africa, what a magic place reminds me how it used to be in the waikato.
    As per the norm seen a few pheasants around Ashburton on the road side.

    Year @nightshooter don't bomb up the big mobs get out of your hide and wave them off. They then come back in ones and twos.
    Give it 10 days and you will be good to go again. Not before as that time is there memory span. Once that is up they have either forgotten our once more think that it's safe.
    Good luck
    Oh open up a few crops and find out what they have been eating you might then get another wack at them on there food source
