Thread: Game bird diary for all

Broke the drought this arvo, was beginning to worry!

Baz had a nice find, a long way off. maybe 40-50 odd metres? I thought he was having me on as he has never taken birds this far out in his short career, but his tail goes all American when it's pheasant so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Trust thy dog!

I tried to get a pic of his usual 10 o'clock tail but I just missed it



Took me down the hill and up the other side into a patch of Manuka, not far off where Munsey took a bird during his visit. Roaded in typical Baz fashion (5 metres at 200mph) Bird up, Baz drops. Poor bird gets stuck in Manuka and I dispatch him cleanly (thankfully, was thinking of taking up golf if I missed 5 in a row!)

I send Baz in as its a nice easy retrieve, and he hasn't put a foot out of place so he can have it. Here comes some terrible cellphone photography:







Bird in hand, Baz does his best pukana tongue to celebrate:
