Twilight decoy, bit dark but cheaper than the fancy moving ones from the shop:)

I'm glad this thread is still going!
Went and took Betty out for a waddle this morning, and being 7 weeks preggers to Baz a waddle it was. The most unlucky pheasant in the BOP happened to be down the end of the paddock I was waddling her in. Betty remained on point while I went back home, maybe 5-7 minutes away, until I came back with the shotgun and shot the bird. She even waddled under the fence, and waddled back with it for me : )

First really wet night here since duckshooting started

I have come too the conclusion that this eel infested pond is not liked by ducks:(

We had a dry roof over our head and no birds seen or heard.:(
Quick shoot this morning.All had limits in half hour.Attachment 36607
Went to the big pond with mate since we were promised a wet southerly. Saw a lot more birds than opening weekend. Mate ended up with 4 mallards and 3 pigeons. I ended up -4 goose decoys and -1 parrie decoy.
The goose decoys slowly sunk in the water. No problem, I thought, once we'd dealt to a couple of ducks I went over to pull them back up but couldn't find them, they just vanished. We scoured the bottom with weighted rope covering about 50m x 50m, nothing. They would have been handy to commit the waves of geese I called over later that stayed just out of range.
Still good fun, can't wait till the next mission.
38mils fell last night,topped up the water supply and bagged myself a duck:)

home for a quick brew and resupp,then I had great delight in taking a new recruit Matty P down to GSP Follower turf for an outing on our wee pond.
Sorry Matt,but the Connolly syndrome continued with my trusty Nissan Gooserolla halted trying to hump a stump-;3 men and a Nissan pathfinder never get stuck -temporarily immobilised OK but not stuck .
all this hooha after finding our well worn riverbed track has suddenly developed a 5'drop off into a reasonable creek where it used to be a wee slope onto gravel
However after gettin the trusty steed uncoupled from that bloody log and a strong cuppa with strawberry wafer bikkies- we sallied forth on size 9 multicoloured rubber personnel carrier(=dundees gumboots) for the supposed haven of the ducks!
Alas saw 6 7/8 of SFA but birds seen were well out of range and not remotely interested. considering this is "winter"a nudist could have got severly sunburnt!
what a day -bugger all birds but good mates and laughs galore -wouldnt miss it for quids.
Was a bit of a laugh this morning. I was on the phone to @carpdeime this morning when a couple of ducks came past he was in the middle of an important talk and me being rude (sorry dude) chuckled on the call dropped the phone and smacked over 2 silly ducks. Can't imagine what it would be like on the phone to someone having a important talk to hear quack quack BOOM! BOOM! haha

Took some American mates out for a couple shoots. They had a good time getting a handful of birds in the fine weather.
