    You are on the board at least Dundee
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Very quiet around here saw 12 flying this morning only one to shoot at. Fired the right barrel and it crash landed 2m away that was it. Tonight only heard one shot from across the stream never saw a duck.Next year back down to Central Otago bugger the cost.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Had a slight change of plans this weekend after my shooting partner chopped off the top of his thumb last week. Ended up shooting on my own. Decided to challenge myself and shoot drakes only which with the low number of ducks in the sky down here today had me a little worried I may have to revert back to hens. Thankfully I managed to limit out by morning tea time because after that I didn't see another duck while packing up. Glad the camo paint I had on had a SPF rating because it was nothing but blue skies and sun today.

    Great day today, hot too! Birds were hard to pull in, they flew high all day! Limited out at 530-ish with 126 birds. Dogs worked well. I'll throw a few pics up tomorrow.

    Quietest ODM I have ever experienced...dog picked up one pheasant scent bed (bird well gone) only in the four hours up the river...only birds we saw were fantails and a group of very nervous parries, mostly juveniles...didnt see a human either, its usually like Central Station...no guys duckshooting on that area on the river like last year...invited to go to a night pond today so see if I can do better on the ducks!!! At least the dog is a happy dog! Oh well, there is tomorrow!
