5 on Lake Kuratau yesterday with my boys, not alot around despite the wind.
Good evening shoot with stagstalker 14 mallards for the evening.
Mate you're way overchoked, especially with steel. Likely the cause of your misses, I'd be going no tighter than modified. I've had no issues with Rio steel, as always different guns/chokes pattern...
Tuesday 3 mallards and 2 swans, my son managed to shoot both swans with one shot!
This evening 4 mallards.
Headed to southland with the family to shoot with the old man. Great weekend, bit down on previous years but some good shooting and dogwork made up for that.
Saturday 13 mallards, 2 parries, 2 swans...
She have the green light Micky so all good.
Last shoot for the season, left Waiouru for palmy at 0430, arrived at the spot 0630. Things were looking good few birds around, first mob to commit, gun up bang and a jam. Turned out the extractor...
1 grey this morning, bugger all around.
Not a bad shoot this morning on the lake, calm conditions made it hard but the birds that came in decoyed well. Ended up with 5 and now that I'm home the wind has picked up, typical. Tired pups...
Saturday turned out alright for us with another 6 Mallards and a Pukeko too. mikee just an Akkar, wood to metal work fit and finish is good, mobile chokes and deeply blued high gloss barrel. Works...
Finally got out for a shoot after missing opening weekend, (first one missed in 26 years). Got out with the boys for an evening shoot and we managed 4 with the side by side 28 gauge.
Low numbers of birds in the manawatu, with the majority paired up. Still a bloody good weekend witha mixed bag of 17 for our efforts.

Jusr the one tonight, shot a few possums on tje walk out.
Sometimes they're the best shoots mate
Not many about this morning, ended up with 2.
Nice one, only flushed a hen today.
That's good going hillclima I have yet to see a Pheasant in Santoft forest this season, few decent coveys of quail though.
Bit of a frustrating weekend to be honest, whilst I did manage to bag a Grey duck and one california Quail I missed 2 bloody pheasants and pricked one that we couldn't find. First Cock Pheasants seen...
Only a Puleko tonight
Finally on the board for upland game, a couple of Californian quail and a rabbit to top it off. Not a bad afternoon walk.

Ah righto that provides a bit of context, definitely a numbers game when you're getting rid of them for the farmer.
That's still a decent evening shoot mate
Nice one lads, ended up with 2 mallards a pukeko for the evening. Dog's working well and I am loving the wee 28 gauge!
