I got 13 pari's on fri night and 4 mallard hens . I then went out again on sun evening and got another 15 pari's. It's a bit annoying when you only have three shots when a mob of 10 comes in.Attachment 10053

Got this fulla tonight, was great fun, my dogs were up a hill and working hard with me and a mate waiting below, put out 5 hens at this spot before a rooster escaped out left, bugger we thought and started to walk off, then this one went as well, and fell cleanly to a long high shot, and was then nicely retrieved down the hill, I was rapt

Nice bird
That has to be over 30 bars. Have you counted?
Yeah, it was 35, massive spurs as well
Now thats a nice tail! Well done hillcimba
Sounds like a nice shot too, a nice high bird
Thats a wicked tail on that bird hillclmba, what would a trophy tail be counted at? If that makes sence?
Thanks guys still haven't plucked it as it's such a beauty of a bird seems a shame. I used to hear 30 bars was good but I think that's a bit small as not that uncommon, I think 35 is a good bird but you do get birds up to 40 bar so that'd be a beauty tail!
Shit I'm looking at a tail bent over the freezer she can't find tommorrows dinner i must get a pic:D
Hospital food isn't great Dundee
Tonights effort, heading away for a week so thought should take the dogs for a quick walk

First pond we saw two mallards depart as we approached down the track,next one had two that sat tight as we drove past.
The dog unleashed and stalk on. On the approach to the wall of the pond no ducks were seen as they had headed for cover against the bank. Dog climbs the wall and two ducks dispatched both drake and hen.:)

Another farm was visited with hundreds of parries on river flats and no shots fired as we couldn't stalk them and weren't in pocession of siloughettes.
Back home to a full moon and frosty night.

Only 4 swans seen at night and one parrie heard,no shots fired.
Two in the hand Dundee!!
Day of humour Me and 30calterry hit the river in the jet boat at 8.30 Plan being drive upstream 20 or so k,s then drift back down All good boat goin awesome bloody cold at 30 to 40 kph down in the water .Heaps more debris and fallen trees since end of summer
So we prk up to get organized to drift back and I said do you have your pin in your gun ?(we allowed three shots only over water been rabbit shooting so took them out ) He says no worries I'm gonna fit it now. I m havin a pee and he says imagine if when I undo this if my spring goes boing then splash I said that would be hilfuckinlarious and you'd be in the shit big time . Nek minute sproing twang splash followed by oh fuck ! You guessed it we were laughing for 10 mins the dud nows has a gun with no mag spring at all. I was calling him one shotwonder all the way down the river.One mallard three or four puks round 40 Kim's good way to spend a morning . Boat cleaned and in shed by 3ish and beat the rain . The dud needs a mag spring for his Browning . Anyone know where to buy parts for these?
Good skills Tussock she looks like a champion and shes a big bitch compared to my Lab X, hes long and fast like his old man the hunterway was.
I had Jess with me tonight and yesterday she was asleep on my lap up at the pond tonight. And on the couch when we got home.

Better pic now then. You did say that you hadn't though!
Why would you mislead ? Fun or boredom ?
I make no apology the laws are clear.
Waikato rangers visited a drain they had not visited for a few years on opening morning. All participants shooting with lead and no licenses the rangers dealt to them only to find on returning to their car another person in the process of stealing their outboard off their boat. Whilst sometimes we wonder why we support them we have no choice when there's guys doing the wrong thing
if we were to be fussy bro, read your regs over pinning shotguns, ie unable to be removed in the field goes both ways, had you been checked or stopped prior to starting the drift ya mate would have lost his gun and the boat would have also been fair game.
it could also have been argued the lack of spring means the gun was tampered with in the field as well:wtfsmilie:
Correct thanks for the input However it was not my error I was the one who asked before any hunting commenced you are right should have been done earlier My gear was fully legal before leaving home. Ever forget something yourself then fixed it before it became a problem.?
It's a funny rule as I can field strip my gun in two minutes with only a pocket knife They did actually say permanent pin not required which sorry means easy to play with no matter what. The numbers they catch will maybe mean that definition becomes a roll pin.It would so easy for us to break any of those rules we choose not too We have private way off road 4wd only ramps and it's kinda hard to stop something doing 50 km per hours in a river with 30 foot shear banks. We choose not to play those games
