Thread: Opening day plans

Friday, drink piss while setting up shop. Then pub
Saturday. Kill shit till lunch. Then go kill more shit till dark. Drink piss.
Shot till 10-11 then pack up and fuckoff.

No upland down here till queens birthday. But the .223 or something will be handy, been a few pigs around the pond of late they tell me....

A good mate will be over Friday arvo to help set up on our willow choked creek possie, shoot there most of Saturday. Riverbed hunt on the Sunday then a big pack up and clean up Sunday arvo.
We've both shot that amount of ducks where another one in the bag doesn't mean much, it's more about just being there with ya dog and ya mate having a good time. We do always do better than most around here though. This year it will be about the dog work and getting good video.

Saturday Opening day pond till lunch . Big BBQ and beers , Sunday same . Opening week I hope to go south chuckars and quails (dependent on a mate to jack it up )

Off to the mighty Waikato the day before, maimai already pegged and 'gardening' done, meet the other 7 in the crew, one fly's over from OZ (he's kiwi) every year for it!!!! shoot the shit and catch up with a few yarns...and then hopefully 'hot barrels'

Yup were going to go and check the swamp out on the saturday if its crap and there no water were packing up camp and
going to shoot paries over in whitianga

Arrive Friday morning, get dekes set on the ponds, settle in, meet lads & hanger-ons for pre season bevvies/dinner. Shoot ducks Sat & Sun. Most of party go home Sun night, so a few lads arriving for a couple days hunting. Shoot ducks Monday 7 Tuesday, go home and say hi to family Tuesday night. Back to Swamp Weds morning, shoot ducks until Friday, head home, grab pheasanty gear and go pheasanting saturday. Home Saturday night - Sunday is Mother's Day....

Got out tonight and got the maimai tagged. Nobody had tagged it so.im a happy man

hopefully the lake puts on a good show for us this year, the last couple of years have been a bit of a dud with the weather being too good and the ducks sitting a mile away laughing at us all day long. was scrubbing up the maimai the other day and saw a few flocks of ducks/swans/parries floating around so im hoping theyll hang around for another look on opening weekend.

knock off work on thursday prior -friday down to Gsp followers to begin operation mallards arse and for the next four weeks its holidays&mayhem ,be it duck goose pigeon ,or rabbit ,i'llhunt the bloody lot.suspect i may get a wee recall to hospital though for the cardiology crew to unblock a blocked cardiac artery -altho theyre happy to fit in with my hunting(well its a form of bloody rehab aint it???)
