    if theyre feral geese nail the huas ,bloody nice eating!I love em as much as Canadas and love hookin into em.If any of you north island types ever come to shakey town PM me and ill take you out for a wee scoot and shoot session.
    last one mates &i did we sneaked up that close that KCs bird was about to give his 12g a blow job as we opened up.
    i was pissing myself watching the fucking thing going apeshit at the big black tube with gob wide open,at the same time trying to signal him to touch the bang lever(aka trigger).
    processing them i found big plump pink breast meat -typical of feras grazing cockies grass .
    In fact at ellesmere the canads get blamed for a lot of this shit which in fact is bloody ferals.
    BTW-thetre not discerning -one roots the other quicker than a dog after a bitch in season!

    Just got back from a look at a couple of bird seed paddocks being harvested, I dont think ive ever seen so many ducks in one spot, easily 2000 of them.
    Cocky will get a ring in morning and hopefully a evening shoot tomorrow

    Well, I got my first ever Mallard tonight...

    Got to the maimai and the decoys were set up...teal buzzing the pond like midget Mosquitos!! It got dimmer and dimmer, dark grey clouds threatening rain...then a flight of three mallards came and were off again when we heard what they heard...a barrage from another pond...then a group of four came in...did a fly over, the big curve and headed out over the maimai...it could not have been an easier shot...he has a band as well...we waited on but no more were forth coming so packed up the decoys and headed home...

    Out with Bob da Browning and co this evening to learn a few skills. We managed to get a parrie and mallard on the deck. I'm on the board.
