    Weather was blowing from all directions tonight set up the few decoys again as last nights blast sent them to the edge of the pond.

    Calm when I set them up.

    One parry hen came straight at the spread of decoys and was blasted out of the sky from the mai mai

    Windy again when we left and only three decoys were visable when we left,might be some good eels to retrieve in the morning

    Good on ya Dundee. That dog of yours is a loyal legend mate.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Sad thing is, I must have seen 30? In my defense it's my first outing for quail this year, and I take a bit of adjustment I have to keep telling myself they aren't going as fast as they look!

    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.

    I could see the birds decoying in to you, a great reward for the effort put in.

    Hell - you have good eyes. It seems that more birds came from our end than last year, so a bit hard for you guys. Nice to meet you on the Friday before. You going back this last weekend?
