Thread: Game bird diary for all

After a accident at the start of the year i am unable to shoot this year, so i wasn't able to do any pond prep or didn't really have the money to buy maize.
Have shot here the last 7 years.
Any how a plan for my ten year old to shoot fell through at 8 o'clock last night, so of to my pond this morning chuck out a handful of decoys and waited. few teal turned up, then a pair of greys, young fella up with his single 410 took one of those. Nothing much flying and the first opening in 7 years it was damp with a bit of wind. Tried stalking the river but it was hard work been fenced of with meter high rank grass, tried staking a few ponds but big lack of ducks. Its been pretty dry in the area and still have a lot of dry ponds and creeks the usually hold a few ducks have no water.
Then sitting at home my boy spotted a cat next to the pond so that got dispatched by the 7mm08.
It wasn't even worth going out for a night shoot with the lack of ducks around
1x duck
1x cat
