    I'm the third owner, and the only seasons it has missed were 1941 - 45. I take a couple of birds with it each season.

    Nice lab, my 6 month old black lab flushed and retrieved her first quail the other day. Be nice to manage 20 with her before the season ends. Plan to chase the chukar next year with her as well.

    Mines turning 10 in Feb. She’s my go to duck, quail and deer dog. Can’t beat a good labs nose to sniff them out and her drive is unreal.

    I have watched Pukes destroy ducks nests and catch and eat the ducklings. One foot on their body and pulling them apart. They will hunt and hunt untill they have gottten them all.
    I wish i had videoed it for the greenies.... it was in a reserve too, so no bangy bang stick allowed.

    guys -was out with mate at ellesmere on weekend -bloody swans galore .the area on front of our maimai looked like the main apron at heathrow airport with a mix of swan and parries.;Anyhow have also heard reports of continuing pasture damage on one large dairy unit out there . Swan season open till 28 august on ellesmere 20 daily limit.Heard/ saw a couple of crews givin them a towel up .amazing watching one team in a paddock drop birds ,only to wave after wave of swans head right in that direction seemingly oblivious to what was in store.they make nice salamis patties sausages.
