shot 10 pidgeons over my goose and parries shells so theyre there if nothing else..couldnt be arsed going to town for trap loads.
so used up a fair portion of duck ammo on them horrendous shot to kill ratio.
seen a few parries and mallards floating around so high hopes if low expectations for them .see what comes first light tommorow
geese should be around hopefuly the peas are the only game in town til the grain paddocks are cleared off.
plenty of grain done but bales still on the paddocks geese here dont like that fortunitly for me pea prospects

You welcome to borrow mine (dog) . Unfortunately don't think Im going to have time to get out .

cheers for the offer munsey but by the time i got his trust it,d be time to hand him back.
no sign of any geese ducks or parries this morning barely a quack certainly no honks
hope the culls havent been to drastic and thinned them right out.
if they dont show up mid next week i,l start panicking or head for the lake or both
still shot a few more pidgeons note to self 2 3/4 inch blackcloud lead 20 kicks like a bastard from a low chair at odd angles
further note glad no honkers turned up[almost] so i could try the 3inch bc steel 2,s from said chair

pea hay bailed exposing a lot more peas under the raked rows
now just holding out for something more substantial than pidgeons to notice the bounty.
with one mallard parry weekend left you could say im a little disheartened if unsurprised.
still i,l get geese when the grains open for business after the peas.

He only needs to see you point a shotgun skyward , to earn his trust.

I have noticed the lack of birds . No broom seed and the drought has burnt off the broom . Lack of water and food is not making for good shooting .
Tbh I've only looked twice , but have talked to a couple of keen guys who have experienced feck all birds !

mm ive seen a pair where i know coveys are and should be.
food shouldnt be the problem as its usually supplied by a pig farmer
could be the machinery working nearby and the birds are sticking in the scrub close to the grub ie in the paddock where the pigs are farrowed.
oh well must be honker and swan time then with the chance of parries and late avo early evening mallards.
god you gotta love a 3 month season
