Thread: Game bird diary for all

Like everybody else there wasn't much around so we had to make do with our chances we had LOL. Now we will be better prepared for whats coming in to our spot & we should get quite a few more next time I reckon after our practice run 10 or so will hit the deck if not more.

Cocky will get a ring in morning and hopefully a evening shoot tomorrow

Good luck subs. We found a couple hundred in a paddock the other day. when we shot them they circled like a tornado 50 at a time. It was bloody cool. 2000 would be awesome!!!!
Have fun

Swept the creek down stream from where I shot Friday Shadow picked up a woundie ,think was 1 I hit we couldn't find at the time.
Bit of fun / practice for the dog ,no shots where fired .

Good morning for it

Could have nailed more geese but am trying to conserve my ammo. Getting good with the gun each duck took a single shot, dropping 2 for everything that lifted. good fun. Same thing with the geese. Even better that my brother only managed to hit one goose

Off to a different night pond this afternoon...the surface of three quarters of the pond was covered in duck weed...put out a few decoys and got comfortable in the maimai...every bird seemed somewhat reluctant to take a rest!! except of course the wonderful little teals...as in heaps...mallards flying high overhead from another pond being shot over...then the wind did a complete u-turn and moved the weed up again to completely cover it...the moon moved on up, shone some light on the situation, then it was 18hr30...time's up!!

Beretta sulking in the corner...



Please note the gun was not loaded, was closed with the safety on...

Took me just over 3hours to clean up the birds. Thanks to some little egg pulling the "Im tired"

To be fair I shot them all, but still!

Cockie was away for the weekend, so ended up shooting a bit of water on a maize paddock, birds cagey as and only ended up with ten mallards. Ton of parries there tho so will set up on them one morning this week.
Looks like im going to have as much access to thousands of acres of crop as I want this year
Better do a good job on his new dairyshed then, wifeys going to wonder why im always leaving for work with shotgun though.
