Fortynine days ... have it all sorted ... just have to let the days pass!!!!
I think I have it sorted for the up coming season with my new labrador's maiden season!Truck load of duck feed came into our district today!21 tonne on board should be some fat ducks and full freezers.Attachment 107429
That is just a bit excessive even for you Dundee.
50kg of maize got fed out tonight.

@Dundee get an automatic feeder . You will get much better results than just dumping bulk feed into a pond .
Wishing you all and your dogs a great bird season ...
Yes agreed, get into it and enjoy guys and gals. And remember when the officer asks you for your permit, tell them Rushy said we didn’t need to get one this year because that would be seen as supporting the government that just rodgered us up the back passage,Quote:

Hope everyone participating in waterfouling has a great weekend and most of all a safe one.
Good luck all. Hot barrels [emoji106]

Had a great opening day with my sons,dogs , and mates. We managed 30 birds most were parries the feeding certainly helped.Bo's maiden opening he did really well considering all the guns and action going on. Few pics from opening day 2019.Blonde lab is Bo's mum she did well too.

Went back to the big pond with Bo lost a sack 100 metres down the track off the quad,sent him up the track and he brought it back.Fulled that with ducks.The fella on the moterbike took 8 after I rigged up a back pack for him. Ended the weekend with 40 birds.
Had 6 of us in lay down blinds on a Canterbury irrigation pond for the weekend. Had a massive day Saturday with 216 ducks shot and 8 swans. Smashed our record for opening with alot more paradise shot this year than last. Shot another 35 ducks mostly mallards on Sunday morning. Had to work hard on Sunday with clear sky's and no wind.
Was a great weekend and now have plenty of duck to keep the Lincoln flats fed.
Looking foward to getting out on ellesmere and some smaller ponds throughout the season.

@lumberjack well done , be interested on your set up on your pond if you got a couple photos .
That lurker in the shadows appears to be wearing a lot more make up than the rest of youQuote:

Had two sets of 3 blinds 10m apart. Had 150 odd decoys with a kill hole in front of each set of blinds.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c44977356c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f6a5b2b29c.jpgQuote:

Seems to be a lot of parries around this year?
6 more mallards a parrie and a quail dealt to tonight.
Hunted a small pond just up the road and it's a whole different ball game to the irrigation ponds I hunted over opening weekend. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the small pond it meant every bird that dropped in was in range and fair game.
Also we shot from the cover if some long grass under a willow tree instead of layout blinds which was a nice change.

That is the second drake shot this season with one leg.
The bridge access to the pond has an eel lurking under the bridge.
This is a bit smaller than the one we saw last year.Attachment 110693Attachment 110694Attachment 110695Attachment 110696
