Scouser is getting old Dundee. His eyes are not as good as they once were.
Make sure you all get stuck into these blue/black bastards

Oh but he is just a young chap compared to you ole Rushy
That is true Dundee but I am far better looking and don't sound like a POME. Ha ha ha ha. I guess I owe @Scouser a beer now.Quote:

It is quite a character. And have only ever seen two others in our area.It honks when ducks are coming in so always a good time to check the creek out if its honking.
Dead right....Lion Red not that Waikato swill......:ORLY:Quote:

Totally agree, majestic game bird vs duckling killing bastards. Still both good fun to hunt though.Quote:

blue pheasant my arse a pheasant wouldnt be seen dead in a shitfight with a puke blue or otherwise;):D
:thumbsup: Fair enough mate. Jeez I hope this rain in Palmerston North quits soon last thing I need is a swollen river in flood to shoot.
I'd like a bit of that rain
22 degrees, sunny with light winds predicted here.
Hope you all have a great Opening Weekend...
you too EeeBees, be safe.
:)...thank you, @jakewire...

Got to go to the run off at some stage tomorrow so biffed a few decoys in that pond.
Attachment 49160

Attachment 49161
Two ponds on the farms are still dry.
Guns oiled,old dog having a spazz in the kennel might be her last season but we will see. She is 12yrs old and deaf. Hot barrels guys and girls..be safe!

Good one Mr Dundee.
Nice looking pond Dundee, hope all you lads have a cracker day and will no doubt read about it on here. So far for us on the river it is all go fingers crossed.
Got to the parking area before 06hr30...very misty morning...initially the visibility was not good...seems the duck guys had sporadic birds going by the volleys up and down the valley and beyond...the only birds we encountered were fantails and a blackbird...he worked the ground in his honest pedantic way but to no avail...the area of the river had been flooded due to a fallen tree and I just wonder if the birds have gone up or down stream as the area usually holds one or two birds...will do a revisit in the next couple of days...it was just so neat to be hunting with the dog...

Who's that ? Dix? Can't tell from the pic if he's liver or black
Was going well early here, then mist burnt off and it was hot and clear. Ducks then went into the stratosphere. A few limits shot here. Not by yours truly but that's how it goes. Will relocate tomorrow as my visibility is limited in this maimai. No wonder it wasn't used! The joys of shooting a new spot. Hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable day
Made the most out of a Hopelessly clear and calm day, down south Canterbury. We managed mallards, spoonies, parries ,geese ,and swans . Real mixed bag .

They definitely earned a good rest and some extra food in the bowl, a great day bring on tomorrow.
The dog flushed one of those for me this morning EeeBees ,didn't give me much of a shot & I missed the big bugger. Pheasant 1 Chris nil .
well I shot down rakaia with GSP follower ,another good mate and a young bloke having his 1st season. mate got 8 on our Pig pond ,which strangely he attributed to the large fermenting wild pig turd in its middle. Just after we discovered that pond we had a run in with a young sow &2fat piglets whom i attempted unsuccessfully to take out with the 12guage!I still intend to square the ledger but Im happy to wait. by hell some of the barrages heard sounded like the royal horse artillery engaging in a regimental fire mission -and that applies to both sides of us.
warm fine norwest breeze -2 shots fired in morning session both by choggy under GSPFs keen gaze at a seemingly suicidal bomber parrie!
i saw 3 mobs at about the same altitude as a bloody flying pencil headed from chch to hokitika.
gadget-your squirt &flap decoy -mate a hoot a minute-fluffs about like the front row at a gay mardigras.I had great delight sitting in my chair listening to GSPF's calling then setting luvly boy flapping a squirting water as i let rip with my pissed mallard rendition.!
shot the pig pond in the evening session with choggy&myself on guns and GSPF&mate as spotters&callers. One mob decoyed in in the early evening light -we let a volley go but probably a little eager too early in the season and they buggered off ,tho one plump young drake was definitely minus a large clump of arse feathers.
spoke to an ellesmere shooter this afternoothe lake shot similar to what whe experienced and any ducks taken were termed "bloody hard work"
bloody great weekend and wouldnt miss it for all the tea in china. thanks to gspf &his other half whove put us up for the weekend -cooking&hospitality superb(as usual). the rugby -bugger me you waikato blokes better get some get a bloody good feed of mallards into the cheifs -they need it crikey dick thought someone had spiked me beer as the game unfolded well done the highlanders.
GSPFaint gonna be a happy chappy as his hurricanes got reduced to a genteel breeze in yappieland.
anyhow itsa eaerly days yet but hell aint it grand to be back in duckshootin harness ! please if youre hitched donot roll over in bed tonight and lovingly coo"cmonl luv let me get a shot away"
i assure you duckshooting humour stretches as bloody far as a set of aching shins!(last year that was!)
hot barrels plentiful birds ,keen dogs and above all stay bloody safe!
Oh no, @Chris...:) I did not even get out today...have had an insidious sort of flu thing going on for about two months and yes today it has hit...typical...have been waiting for this leave for months...hope you have better luck tomorrow...Quote:

I so much as feel a sniffle or sore throat I'm onto Lemsip. Hope ya get over it soon EeeBees only got til end of August for getting a pheasant roast .
well done munsey -bloody great photos too.
doing my early morning check of stuff this am .usual sensationalist reporting on 3accidents /50,000hunters(avoidable no doubt ,but that goes without saying) but then so called reporter breathlessly brings us the antics of yet another" faecesbook"(yep its a gigantic load of shit!)bunch of wannabe antihunting activists who vow and declare theyll stay at lake ellesmere to disrupt legal persons pursuing legal activites .fuck me the selective morality of humans ,especially gen y look at me types is downright nauseating,.
some time ago was at a function where i happened across a young self declared lesbian activist of this sort .oh shit did she mouth off like a pot boiling over on what horrible creatures hunters were coupled with gushing praise for the SAFE mob of which she was a fanatical member.
cobber who usually doesnt say much enquired if she realised she was the product of her old mans gettin a shot away at a bird(her mum),oh boy did she react .
i couldnt help it I chimed in that id heard that on reflection he wished he'd shother into a pisspot and flushed it down the kazi.
she got right annoyed I was a fucking pig etc etc,so again i politely warned her that given her initial diatribe i had plenty of more comedy routines in response to her PC opinions. We got asked to desist after this as we'd upset her ,so we upped stakes and left.
Ran into the organiser sometime later who said she was a little alarmed at my comments so i told her whilst she invited little know all fucktards to her precious dos ,delete me from the list in perpetuity. ive actually had a couple of invites since but turfed em in the bin.
Awesome photo's Munsey. Sunday for us was pretty good considering there was no wind and heaps of Sun, boy did the birds take some working though! 8 total including 2 swans. Highlights of the day were my son calling in a duck and the team managing to call some swans in.
