Bloody show off! A technoclutz, but a show off. :thumbsup:
That memory thing is bugging me. Which one of these does a duck look like?

Went to the big pond with mate since we were promised a wet southerly. Saw a lot more birds than opening weekend. Mate ended up with 4 mallards and 3 pigeons. I ended up -4 goose decoys and -1 parrie...
:D
Tissues?
They are far and few between in this neck of the woods. Our season is two days with a limit of one male bird per day on those days. Mind you since the rules in the guide say there is no limit on...
I breast them after plucking my first. My opposing thumb and forefinger oppose being squeezed together tight enough to grab those flamin' feathers.
Out with Bob da Browning and co this evening to learn a few skills. We managed to get a parrie and mallard on the deck. I'm on the board.
We gave up about 0900 and trudged the 1km back through the lake to the the vehicle. The birds were flying way too high for us, they seemed to decoy into a couple of massive spreads. Low numbers...
I know what you mean. Saw one of those roosters about 200m from the mates place that I go bird hunting with. He doesn't live rural. :cool:
You are right there EeeBees.
Went out this morning with MassiveAttack, GSP Follwer and a couple of others to have a go at some swans. I managed one, would have been more if we'd moved to the right...
Committed! And he certainly should be!

Well I wasn't doing anything with birds and dogs if it is of any consolation EeeBees. I was just out hoping to do it in the wind, the rain and the cold. 3 degrees with a real feel on -7. Still do it...
Out to Ellesmere this afternoon. Interesting indeed. There is a bit more water in than last time, was getting rather deep on the way in but drove most of the way. When it got too deep (about 800mm...
Call seems to work fine, just that everyone I shoot with tends to bag everything while I'm still busy playing a tune on the caller.

Spent the late arvo at the big pond again. One more swan for the pot. Managed to call a mallard in to land among the decoys which is a first. My mate bagged that and a swan.
Steady lad!
Oh, you're just showing off now! Good work though. :thumbsup:
Happy birthday Rushy, and may you have many more.
Nice work on those swans, be a bit of a load for the retriever.
Went out to the lake late this arvo. Virtually no wind and just the occasional whiff of high cloud. Only shot a wounded Canada we...
Just don't let the Mrs find out the final figure. ;)
No, the rectangular bit that took a hammering when you bought all that new kit.
Is that bit of plastic feeling nervous? Good results.
Wind was forecast to turn to southerly so we decided a later afternoon shoot was in order. Our new maimai was occupied so we wandered along and set up in another empty one. The next maimai along had...
Challenging day at Ellesmere today. Skies clear this morning and the birds were flying high and very quickly gun shy. I spent way too long calling birds in and by the time I made a grab for the gun...
