I tried to get a pic of his usual 10 o'clock tail but I just missed it :)

Took me down the hill and up the other side into a patch of Manuka, not far off where Munsey took a bird during his visit. Roaded in typical Baz fashion (5 metres at 200mph) Bird up, Baz drops. Poor bird gets stuck in Manuka and I dispatch him cleanly (thankfully, was thinking of taking up golf if I missed 5 in a row!)
I send Baz in as its a nice easy retrieve, and he hasn't put a foot out of place so he can have it. Here comes some terrible cellphone photography:

I have noticed the lack of birds . No broom seed and the drought has burnt off the broom . Lack of water and food is not making for good shooting .Quote:

oh well must be honker and swan time then with the chance of parries and late avo early evening mallards.
god you gotta love a 3 month season:yuush:
New game bird - can he list Kereru on here - Rsole :pissed off:
'Deep regret' over kereru - Northern Advocate - Northern Advocate News

he must have stuck out like a porkchop in a sinagogue.
bulges everywhere must have got a bit warm and squelchy to after a while.
been real tasty after marinating in thier own juices and the heat of his jacket.:D
illegal tegal tartar anyone??
Oh but wait the treaty says he can:sick: If it was a white man he'd be thrown in the slammer:(
i dont believe it do if they agreed to its protection. :DQuote:
Oh but wait the treaty says he can
think most iwi agreed to the moratorium on taking them cos the were almost wiped out.
even rex forester had trouble back in his time in the forest service.
the most telling thing is docs seeming hesitation over prosecuting him??
making themselves more of a political pawn/porn than they realise or would care to admit.
great pic to eeebee,s
A short evening stroll working the rough along the creek with #1 dog .10 minutes in a pheasant flushed low straight away shot 36g of #2 steel dropped it in the creek for Shadow to retrieve Score 1 -0 .Another 10 minutes a pook presented a high crossing shot ,too easy 2-0 . Worked the rough until nearly dark when dog decided a sit wait was in order by the creek .He must of known there had been birds there & has done it before so as cold as it was I'll humor him . Bugger almost properly dark & another pook ,this 1 turned up to roost I think ,another water retrieve 3-0 game over .Home time buddy,was a 4.30 start .

the longer the 2nd flush takes the more jittery and likely to miss i am.:yaeh am not durnk:
to much time to think is a bad thing sometimes.
its about to get tropical down here boys:wtfsmilie:
so check your sheltered ponds side creeks and for the uplanders the roads and open scrub bereft parts of your quail range.
if this snow eventuates and is heavy the quail will abandon the heavy scrubbed areas and be running up and down the roads,rdrs, clearings.
it should force the ducks inland to or at least to the sheltered ponds and backwaters.
jesus wept found a covey of 15 odd quail reasonably staggered flushes 5 shots and i think i barely touched a feather:wtfsmilie::yaeh am not durnk:
Such is the life of a quail wrangler it seems...Quote:

And then there are the hunter everybody knows one . Who just manage to be in the right place perfect every time . And get bag limit or close to it quite regular .
