About time I contributed to this thread. New possie in the F&G ballot. Took a lot of work pre-season. Pulled a bloody acre of raupo, bowled the old maimai, and built a new on in a better spot.
My son and I took our usual week off work, and went duck hunting all week for the first week of the season. Had a good opening day, with limits pretty early, so went for a wander and bagged 3 roosters between us. F&G rangers spotted us coming back and checked us out. Seems we did better than most in the area. Got limits most days for the week, but at 6 each per day, not a big bag. Here's a few pics.
Went for another rooster hunt later in the week and managed another couple each.
I also got about 2-1/2hrs of video, so a bloody great time really. Been slim pickings since, with 3-4 birds between 2 of us each day for the weekends since opening.
