    Had a good shoot saturday with my 8 grey/mallards by 730. Sunday was a little quiet . Borrowed my neighbour's old escort semi. A few first, one shot two ducks, first time shooting my limit on opening morning and first time shooting a banded duck. (must be the only one released in gisborne by f&g)

    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

    It is because the rotation of the earth down here is different.

    Not long back from a shoot on a nice slow creek 10 mins from home.

    Setup a few hundred meters downstream from a mate about half 4
    Didnt see a bird till half 5 ish.
    Called in a flight of 6 mallards and they decoyed perfectly. I took the first bird front on and 3 others with 4 shots total, as crossers.

    Dog spent a few minutes retrieving all the birds. I was pretty happy with my shooting and smoked a single incomer bird 5 mins later. 5 shots 5 birds.

    Shot at another 6 pairs of mallards that were cautiously looking over the decoys but should have been piss easy and I didn't hit shit.
    I swear the dog rolled his eyes at me

    Decided to do something different this morning so I took the cape rifle to work and spent half an hour walking the river. Having only one shot makes you a bit more selective, anyhow 2 for 2, so Im happy. First time Ive used it on game probably the last too as sub gagues are going steel. 108 years old and still producing the goods shows theres hope for all the old bastards on, here self included.

    eley do make sub gauge bismuth ??
    in 20 and 16 gauge its not cheap but a box would last you a while.
    think 2019,s lead then 2020 not on doc or f&G land 2021 not any water

    r[QUOTEn 2020, a hunter hunting waterfowl on Department of Conservation or Fish & Game-controlled land must use non-toxic shot, nothing else.
    From 2021, non-toxic shot will be required for waterfowl hunting over open water in all shotguns except the .410. This applies to all public (including DOC) and private lands.].[/QUOTE]

    weekends looking ducky bit more wind be good.
