2 mallards at river tonight
I only got 1 & it was missing a foot. Must of been right in the middle of my pattern though.
what the foot?:yaeh am not durnk:
Saw two cock pheasants and 30 quail this morning, shot 2 mallard drakes this arvo.
nailed 3 parries and 1 mudblood duck(looks like a parrie x mallard aesthetically) and first time using lead on game..... I see why people love the stuff(for once i didn't shoot too bad)!
fri nite got 3 parries
sat day smashed 30 parries between 3 of us in about 3 hrs
a good shoot
My girl dog and I put up two &*%$@@@@!!! hens this morning...only two more days of leave...arrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh, now making pastry (for the mandatory B & E pie) and bread for the weekend's duckshoot, cannot wait...
Three cocks tonight and a misfiring Mirkoku, anyone need a tomato stake? Having a bad run with guns. Might have to splash out on a new one
Pointer, you will have to come over to the Light...bite the bullet and get a Beretta:D:D:D
Never! haha
Aw, come on...:D:D:D
Never saw or heard a duck tonight and a mean as frost tonight.
Yes, major frost happening here too...
Personally I buy a Browning.
I'm sick of these freezing cold nights no ducks. Sitting and calling at the ponds.Gona try the river tomorrow take the rod a few silos and fish till 1730 then hide near the river bank and hopefully bag a bird.Maybe a trout before 1730hrs.
Went out this morning before feeding the cows was on a new grass padock. Shot 51 parry's by 10.30
I'll stick with my ATA century thank you very much! quick question: could i justify another shotgun by buying it for pheasents and clays?over and under configuiration?... help please lol!
Always justify a new shot gun ,fishing rod ,boat ,4x4 .Its about putting food on ya table they're not toys .Quote:

Well, the season for the duck is coming to an end ...I have learnt alot, am still in awe of how people can sit in a freezing maimai for hours; but when you hear those ducks calling and they are coming in onto your piece of water because you have got the duck call pretty well sorted, you dont seem to feel the cold anymore...;)
Headn up your way tommorrow Eeebees send me a pm of your address might call in and have a yarn.I've missed 2nights this season and it doesn't matter what I do the last 2 weeks have been blank:pissed off:
Went back out on new grass paddock this morning. Ended up with 67 parry's. They sure can fuck up a good paddock.
Just got back from my only week off and within an hour of being home I bagged this:)

I took my 3 year old son duckshooting for the first time this morning. While we were walking the 100m to the pond he stomped in an ice puddle, put his hands in it, threw a tantrum cos his hands were cold and then wet his pants. About 10 mins after we arrived 4 parries flew over and I got 3. Then we went home.
A short and rather noisy hunting trip, but still very special.:D
Well its all over now:TT TT::TT TT: Not the best season but was a long one for the Wgton region. Just had a head count and managed
50 birds all up.All ducks were harvested or eaten,the pukekos were just culled too protect next seasons mallards.Duck meat is primo:thumbsup:
Other talleys for the season please? I only missed 7 days,bugger I get my week off in duckshooting season:yuush:
Just peeled the camo tape off Browning ,freezer is pretty much chocka .No idea of numbers but was OK,have enough to keep me happy until next season. Hope fully a few Pheasant to finish the season yet & a couple of lessons learned too .
harvested or eaten ?????????????Quote:

They know!
Took #1 dog for a walk this afternoon & put the duck call in my pocket.Bored Chris ,bored dog ,been raining for over a week now.
Called 1/2 dozen pairs round over an hour or so (Too easy ) but did shoot a Pook & dog brightened up big time getting a retrieve .
All done now ,3 pooks this afternoon/evening.1 Pheasant put up I didn't get a shot at .
Shadow thinks I'm a good bugga tonight.
There were some long seasons in some areas.At least the breeding season for the mallards has had a good start.
I think Shadow would think your a good bugger any night Chris.
Here's a few pics from this year, just me and the lil bro shoot, dad hates it.
