    had a mob of Canadas buzz the house last night on their way into a roost on the Rakaia.

    Year @Dundee that young falla on the left turned up for every shoot rain hail shine and we have had a lot of rain this season.
    Even when there was no beaters for the last two shoots he’s rocked up.
    I put the hat around and made sure that he got something as well as the brace he took home.
    I’ll get him out on a few pigeon shoots this year. He can then have a shot in a controlled environment.

    you can add in the jerker line to the package but im only thinking of not having to piss round with multiple weights lines and rubbers .
    4 decoys on a spreader and in shallow water with no wind
    weights be not needed but you could run a line to move them or just to keep them in place .
    on elly I,l just need 3 lines and 3 weights 1 for each spreader instead of one per decoy or I,l run a ;line from the spreader to the shore
    music to my ears
