didnt see any quail today but did jump a pair of mallards out of the rdr.
only shot the drake as that is my contribution to game management where possible.

shite i rotated the pics up the right way and they still came out rangi:D
red did a hell of a job finding the drake in some real rubbish on the opposite side of the rdr to where i thought it fell.
but between the fast flow freezing water and and blackberry logging type rubbish he came up trumps on the 2nd blind send.
Bloody mallards now don't even fly off the full ponds here.:D They must have the gamebird regulations under there wing.:D
be the same here next monday dundee be mallards and parries from arsehole to breakfeast:DQuote:

give it heaps!
i spose if i was numberes orientated id consider this a bad season.
but since im not and ive got ducks in the freezer it aint.
personaly any season your alive for and can get out to enjoy is a plus and a good one.
the bonus of getting a few ducks and still having a month to concentrate on those little crested buggers is crackin.
no watchin the backwaters for ducks flushing but focused on the dog pointing and workin up quail.
hell could be the kick in the arse my shotgunning needs no bloody distracting mallards:D
the geese and swans are in a quail free zone so that confusion wont be present.
look out californians im comin and im focused:yaeh am not durnk:
geese if you poke your sneaky arses out of mcbeans or rennies lookin for a feed you could be in trouble to.
A double on pukekos on my first hunt in New Zealand! :)
(Not today, last friday)
Saturday morning had us meeting up with the team leader nice and early...the area had been pretty well shot over but we managed three Paradise Ducks and a number of pigeons...the team leader's Labrador was the biggest Labrador I have ever seen...the ducks were well and truly over the intrusion of more harassment but it was a great day...

I can picture the lab leaping out for a retrieve with the camo cover on.:D
@Dundee, the dog is a real character!! For a dog that big he sure can move...!!
love the idea of those silosock dekes eebees.Quote:

do they move as advertised eebees ''in the slightest breeze''??

the collar chain slows him down now tho but is no substitute or excuse for my slackness in training:pissed off::yaeh am not durnk:
Leda scented and worked the ground well...the next day she ran and encountered her first pheasant...steady to the bird and shot...

a few of those silosocks could make our spreads just that bit more realistic.
did you arse up?
I give up
This is my tenth attempt of posting a photo from my phonr. The last ones all came out upside down. If this doesn't work I shall never attempt again!
Betty doesn't usually get beaten to birds, but since this is her first outing since nursing, she's pretty unfit. Baz had the only findo of the day, Betty had to settle for the back.

no birds were harmed in the making of this photo, the calis got up to the left in the black berry while yours truly was mucking around trying to take a photo with a wet cellphone...
I definitely give up
@gsp follower, one aspect of them which appealed was that they stack up in the back of the ute very nicely...there is nothing much that can go wrong with them really...:)Quote:

Just imagine picture of one dog pointing and another backing... while on the ceiling :D
think the only way they could be bettered is a model with a fullsize feeder head with maybe some way of pinning thru the beek or cheek. i know they make an alert deke with a normal deke head.Quote:

It took that long to load the picture via my phone that the earths rotation had flipped the picture while it was in cyberspace

Dog pointed really well today so I'm stoked. Also had a good retrieve on one bird that was a runner.
Didn't you take any photos of the possums?Quote:

I cant believe how many roosters and hens there are down Papamoa these days, nothing to see a mob of 7-10 roosters feeding beside the road. Plenty of hens too. They love that mingimingi :thumbsup:
