Last day:oh noes:
Collected Harry and off we went on a round trip of 103k for absolutely nothing!! Adult dog did some really good work but to no avail. I had not been to The Place for a number of years and had been extolling its virtues to Harry on just how good the quail numbers were, or at least were. We arrived to the sound of family banter, vehicles, house dogs etc...so headed up the tributary for a look...dog covered alot of ground with no scents taking his fancy. So we went back to the ute and headed off the way we came and had a look at the river...again the dog did not find any scent of interest although Harry was rapt as I found and gave to him a duck call someone had dropped. Back home for a very late lunch and plans hatched for an afternoon wander.

This time we took the bitch and walked and walked and walked along the stream...the dog did not get onto any strong scents except in an open area she winded a rabbit and Harry took it home. We heard a covey of quail, and another hatching of Mallard with their mother. Although no result we had another great day with me promising Harry I will not be breaking my foot next year!!
At least you were out there girl:thumbsup:
Yes. I love watching the dogs working. It is also neat to accompany a young person and maybe pass on a few things to them...just as others did for us. I must say we were rapt to see so many waterfowl on the rivers...hopefully it bodes well.
Missed a gift yesterday, bird came up from under my feet. Only bird I saw all day!
Did it tough today, lots of shots, not a lot of birds to show for it... Enzos in the dog box as the saying goes, Pig is the golden boy. Farewell 2013 season, you've been a goodie
Yip all over Rovers till next season at least the ducks are fucking:yaeh am not durnk:

We gave up about 0900 and trudged the 1km back through the lake to the the vehicle. The birds were flying way too high for us, they seemed to decoy into a couple of massive spreads. Low numbers seemed to be the order of the day but it was encouraging to see a lot more birds even though they were out of reach. I ended up on zip, mate bagged one drake. Keeping an eye on the weather looking for a southerly change.
Yea man thats my truck
And that photo doesnt have the 2 swans in it to bahahaba
Another 2 mallard drakes so that is 5 birds today.They were flying high. Heard heaps of shots. I am going to try the river tomorrow morning.One tired lad didn't come out tonight and the old bugger never came back out.Great times.One happy dog worked really well:D

Fine weather cant have helped mate, five is a good start to the season for a humble bloke like yourself :D
You are on the board at least Dundee
Very quiet around here saw 12 flying this morning only one to shoot at. Fired the right barrel and it crash landed 2m away that was it. Tonight only heard one shot from across the stream never saw a duck.Next year back down to Central Otago bugger the cost.:(
Had a slight change of plans this weekend after my shooting partner chopped off the top of his thumb last week. Ended up shooting on my own. Decided to challenge myself and shoot drakes only which with the low number of ducks in the sky down here today had me a little worried I may have to revert back to hens. Thankfully I managed to limit out by morning tea time because after that I didn't see another duck while packing up. Glad the camo paint I had on had a SPF rating because it was nothing but blue skies and sun today.

Well done Mike.
Great day today, hot too! Birds were hard to pull in, they flew high all day! Limited out at 530-ish with 126 birds. Dogs worked well. I'll throw a few pics up tomorrow.
Fantastic Josh
What are the limits down there Mike and Josh?
