I used Gamebore steel trap loads in 28gr 7.5's. These worked a treat and I would happily use them more often for decoying birds that are in your face.

Brilliant KF. Is it you with the knees or is that your mate?
Think you just shot your self in the foot there Rushy:P
That's my mate in the shorts.
I had to laugh after the shoot as we both were using 3.5" chamber shotguns with mag extensions to shoot birds at 4mtrs away. Over gunned........no such thing!
How so Dundee?Quote:

Came back from pond tonight with no shots fired but all the calling we did sort of worked. Leaving the pond we came across PTs ducks they must of heard us and walked 800metres from the shed to the pond paddock
You need to work on your positioning :DQuote:

Then a few single shots from PT at a missed pair of parriees and swan and plovers:wtfsmilie:
3 mallards flew over me high and I let one shot of and dropped one,they looked high and was a 5 sec. pause before the mallard thumped into the river bed below.

Heaps of teal on the pond 60ish, why cant we shoot those cheeky little bastards. I had them feeding through my spread.Attachment 9894
Been back too the no.1 pond after a 5 day break as the farmer had stock in the paddock.
All acorns were gone,2 parries took off and 2 mallards took off before we approached the wall of the pond.
On arriving at the wall of the pond another two mallards took flight,I let rip 3 barrels..PT one barrel of the 20 guage,noticed a feather or two fluttering on to the pond so we watched the departing birds with keen eyes and one dropped about half a KM away from the pond so PT and dog went for the retrieve.
Attachment 9895
All good but now the debate was on who shot the bird? When its dressed or (undressed) for the non bird hunters we will run a magnet over it too see if it was steel or lead.:D
A couple of spoonies flew in and PT got the one barrel off and yes another bloody hen:oh noes:
Attachment 9896
One happy pooch and son:D
Attachment 9897
Not the prettiest spoony with blood splattered eyes but we all know the drakes are the best looking sex in the bird category:D
Spoonbill and mallard beak in comparison;)
Attachment 9898
very impressive! reminds me of when my mother would put a fantastic duck stew in my school lunch!
ahh those were the days!. goo on ya boys!
Forget the magnet Dundee. Let the boy have the kudos.Quote:

Well done fellas
Fantastic lot of photos and it looks as though everyone involved is as happy as a pig with its face in the trough.
And the best bit is there is a "real, proper" pointer in both these pic's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):)Quote:

Plenty of potential poultry pie there Duxbac
There sure is Rushy,the older birds are breasted and the younger Geese are plucked and roasted in a oven bag with stuffing or put into a steam hangi where the meat just falls off the bone.
Mate that sounds like the bees knees and bugger me you live fairly close to where I will be when the sika show is on. You might have to thaw some out. Quite OK for you to say fuck off you old buggerQuote:

Nice dog Duxbac and good result,Rushy was born in the 1900's
Snap. It was a good year for producing good looking buggers wasn't it? My birthday this Sunday.Quote:
