Nice Gun Wildman
Had a great wee evening shot on my own tonight.
I was targeting geese but didn't even hear a honk.
Got 14 reals and 4 parries should have had 20 odd mixed bag but shooting while twisted in all sorts of positions because feet were stuck in mud let me down.
Heard a stag roaring as well😆

Hard to tell what sort of bird that is after the eels have feasted on it,but i'm guessing a shag.
Took @mrs dundee and @Sean up two the green pond for the night shoot we shot one mallard drake.12 yo Dog has lost the plot but still managed the retrieve.

Dundee, not being a duck shooter myself, I have never understood why duck shooters have more than one duck call hanging around their neck? What's the go bro?
Rushy , Ducks have different accents , depending on where the duck was hatched . Hence the different calls . City ducks from say Auckland are loud and talkative ( loud obnoxious caller ) A duck from way down south will roll its RRRRRRsssssss as in QuaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK (deep raspy caller) Ducks from far north use different again Quack-Churrrrrr . . So Rushy these ducks can move around the country . It takes years of practice to notice there Accents . Hope this helpsQuote:

It leads to another question though and that is "how the hell does Dundee know what language caller to use when the duck is forty metres up in low cloud?Quote:

Ones a mallard call and the other is a parry and goose call Rushy.
