    the good wife was sorting freezer and found duck from 2019...good fat mallard...so after the venison came out of slow cooker (Willie Duley inspired pulled venison) the duck got dropped in and simmered away all day today...I ate it alone,and there is NOTHING but bones left...man it was great....must remember to take my gout pills LOL.

    as you can see from the pics plenty of chickory /grass just no bloody geese or parries.
    i think the season opens to early for area b and closes to early
    ive possited to f&g that the two areas have different starts and finishes.
    i reckon end of march for the lake is better than the 13th .
    cos the birds are gonna start hitting the lake farms in the next two weeks as the stubbles burnt and or plowed under

    Bought my season licence today and ordered some falcon bismuth #4 . Apparently this bismuth shot is tinned so will be interesting to see how it goes. Also bought two boxes of eley #4 20ga steel 24gram to try out in my 20ga 686. Get down to the possie in next few days hopefully.
