So i have been looking for a electronic hunting diary but cant find one so i thought i would start a thread to keep all my bits and pieces i do through the year

Nothing new at the moment just a recap of other threads just want to get it all in one place

First goose shoot for the year we shot 215 over 2 spreads. Birds were very cagey and took a lot of work. Had dominos for lunch which doesn't generally happen while hunting all day.

24feb i had a wee fire had the fire brigade out twice

26feb i went for a drive to find some geese. I talked to a couple landowners and got some nice access to lake wainono on some private land seen thousands of ducks and hundreds of geese. That night i got a call from my AI tech and he had found 150 geese on a harvested wheat and beans paddock.

27 feb 4pm we set up (after a revised count) about 100 decoys and 4 blinds. Shooters myself John Brendon and Michael. It was an awesome hunt 70 geese but i was disappointed with my shooting my stoeger doesnt fit me very well

3feb John went back to the stubble paddock and found another 200 geese so we decided to hit them during the high winds forecasted for the next day hoping it might break the mobs up a bit.

We had another great hunt 65 geese. It was hard work in the gale constantly picking up deeks. I had had enough of my stoeger and later in the day i went to town and brought a new shotgun and some averyx goose floaters for my new spot on wainono were im going to try and get my lab beau collecting geesehttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/03/06/u8aru9ad.jpg

Im going to try and take more photos start to finish of my hunts so this thread is worth having a look at.

To be continued

Firemen love dairy farmers:eyes on fire: I replaced the U/O last May with a Benelli, but I find the last shot is always at a rapidly dissappearing bird

So the Fireys owe you double the beers for not doing the job properly the first time

That last picture is quite neat, looks like an AA gun pointing to the sky at dawn/dusk

Good thread. Your daughter seems to be enjoying the new shotgun! My daughter is coming shooting this season, she got a golden retriever and wants it to retrieve things.

Im going to try and get my girls out too but my wife wants to put them in pink camo. Wtf

Save the pink camo for town.

First Vid ive attempted. Filmed on my IPhone at wainono Lagoon with Beau. Edited in the car waiting for Anna to finish shopping.
I have lived 10 min away from the lagoon for 10 years and never really had a good look.
Ch ch checkn out wainono - YouTube

i subscribe also.:cool:

After my average first up effort i now think I've made a decent video. Just tried to make something i like to watch. Unlike some i have fronted up and taken the risk of looking like a tool in front of the camera. There are a few cringe moments for me but shouldnt bother u fullas. I hope its worth watching

Disclaimer: i dont profess to be the best caller and some of it is pretty ave. but tried to make something interesting.

I also have a short attention span and try to leave boring bits out. I only made this one to try out the imove editing program. Its a bloody good tool

Spent 4 days bush in the manapori. There are not many stags roaring yet. But we did surprise a six pointer which we lost and dropped a spiker. Our crew also had a R22 at our disposal so we got a good look around the area and saw a shit load of deer from the air.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/08/3u8e6u2y.jpg
