With the recent rain and a good westerly blowing I knew there should be some bird activity so headed out for an evening shot with my boys. We ended up having a cracker little shoot with ducks pitching into the wind perfectly. Feet up, chest out, wings back peddling and no-where to go when the shotty came up. I was pretty stoked with my hit ratio, 8 ducks for 10 shots. First pair was bang dead, bang dead. The next group of three was bang dead, bang dead, bang miss, lead more Dylan, bang dead. Then the last group of three was the exact same again with my one miss coming at the same time trying to catch the last duck on escape but quickly caught up with it on the fourth shot again. Super satisfying. The boys had front row seats to the most satisfying shooting you can get imo, they loved it. This was probably my last shoot of the season so a great way to wrap it up.
    oi hold on a minute whats that furry bloody aussie your lads holdin-did he do the wrong version of the mallard comeback call or what.judgin by his size hisa pelt would make a cracker hat for one of the boys .great to see both out ensuring dad steps up to the mark!
