if theyre feral geese nail the huas ,bloody nice eating!I love em as much as Canadas and love hookin into em.If any of you north island types ever come to shakey town PM me and ill take you out for a wee scoot and shoot session.
last one mates &i did we sneaked up that close that KCs bird was about to give his 12g a blow job as we opened up.
i was pissing myself watching the fucking thing going apeshit at the big black tube with gob wide open,at the same time trying to signal him to touch the bang lever(aka trigger).
processing them i found big plump pink breast meat -typical of feras grazing cockies grass .
In fact at ellesmere the canads get blamed for a lot of this shit which in fact is bloody ferals.
BTW-thetre not discerning -one roots the other quicker than a dog after a bitch in season!
Last nights result ,was nice seeing Shadow enjoying himself after last weekends injury stuffed up the weekend a lil bit.

Just got back from a look at a couple of bird seed paddocks being harvested, I dont think ive ever seen so many ducks in one spot, easily 2000 of them.
Cocky will get a ring in morning and hopefully a evening shoot tomorrow:D
Should of had a pheasant photo too Rushy but I was too lazy to walk into the maize where he was crowing
Worked hard for this bird, one of two finds for the day, the other a hen. Very thrashed and very public land BOP

And yes she did start to piss during this photo
Well, I got my first ever Mallard tonight...
Got to the maimai and the decoys were set up...teal buzzing the pond like midget Mosquitos!! It got dimmer and dimmer, dark grey clouds threatening rain...then a flight of three mallards came and were off again when we heard what they heard...a barrage from another pond...then a group of four came in...did a fly over, the big curve and headed out over the maimai...it could not have been an easier shot...he has a band as well...we waited on but no more were forth coming so packed up the decoys and headed home...

Out with Bob da Browning and co this evening to learn a few skills. We managed to get a parrie and mallard on the deck. I'm on the board.
Like everybody else there wasn't much around ;) so we had to make do with our chances we had LOL. Now we will be better prepared for whats coming in to our spot & we should get quite a few more next time I reckon after our practice run 10 or so will hit the deck if not more.
Good luck subs. We found a couple hundred in a paddock the other day. when we shot them they circled like a tornado 50 at a time. It was bloody cool. 2000 would be awesome!!!!
Have fun

Swept the creek down stream from where I shot Friday Shadow picked up a woundie ,think was 1 I hit we couldn't find at the time.
Bit of fun / practice for the dog ,no shots where fired .
Good morning for it
Could have nailed more geese but am trying to conserve my ammo. Getting good with the gun each duck took a single shot, dropping 2 for everything that lifted. good fun. Same thing with the geese. Even better that my brother only managed to hit one goose

Off to a different night pond this afternoon...the surface of three quarters of the pond was covered in duck weed...put out a few decoys and got comfortable in the maimai...every bird seemed somewhat reluctant to take a rest!! except of course the wonderful little teals...as in heaps...mallards flying high overhead from another pond being shot over...then the wind did a complete u-turn and moved the weed up again to completely cover it...the moon moved on up, shone some light on the situation, then it was 18hr30...time's up!!
Beretta sulking in the corner...

Please note the gun was not loaded, was closed with the safety on...
Took me just over 3hours to clean up the birds. Thanks to some little egg pulling the "Im tired"
To be fair I shot them all, but still!
Cockie was away for the weekend, so ended up shooting a bit of water on a maize paddock, birds cagey as and only ended up with ten mallards. Ton of parries there tho so will set up on them one morning this week.
Looks like im going to have as much access to thousands of acres of crop as I want this year:thumbsup:
Better do a good job on his new dairyshed then, wifeys going to wonder why im always leaving for work with shotgun though.
Some one has been busy:D

Up to the first wing joint and right up to the leg cut at the knee. No bones to stab into the bag that way. If you smash the wing before the joint then cut at the broken bit. I take it you leave the lungs and blood in a duck too :sick:

Who needs to bleed em?
Im not sure what its called but along each side of the spine towards the rear of the bird is this blood like stuff you scoop out with your finger. Next bird I kill I'll get a picture to show
They are far and few between in this neck of the woods. Our season is two days with a limit of one male bird per day on those days. Mind you since the rules in the guide say there is no limit on birds not listed in the schedule then technically there is an open bag limit all year round on the hens.
