Thread: Game bird diary for all

It was a relatively slow opening weekend for me in Kaipara/port Albert. I had my cousin, along with the "take a mate hunting" licence, who spent most of the time behind the gun. Stoked he had an awesome time, and I (as a relatively new hunter) was able to give him an opportunity in a family that otherwise doesn't shoot. The dog Bruce is in fine form, even lying down and holding among the decoys as dumb Paris landed around him. Lots of time working on his steadiness paying off. I managed around 30 pairs and 10 mallards, so I was not unsuccessful, but hardly what some on the forum are boasting above!

More recently, I have been marching around forestry blocks without success. I would love some advice on the following if anybody wants to throw me some pointers off the main forum:
- Muzzle for the pup in forestry? (Dont want him scavenging poisoned animals)
- Tips in general for success on pheasants in forestry
- Advice on what to look for when searching for ducky spots on public/fish and game land
- Shooting from a dingy.

There is lots of gamebird season left.
