Sad thing is, I must have seen 30? In my defense it's my first outing for quail this year, and I take a bit of adjustment I have to keep telling myself they aren't going as fast as they look!

i feel that pain pointer
great morning on a big irrigation pond today.
a ton of birds about but the usual indecision ,overexcitement, read safety catch on ,reared its head
still 10 mallards taken ,mostly drakes, and a couple of parries between 3 0f us.
pic to follow at some stage .it was fn freezing and i didnt even get the phone out but fortunatle massive did the honours after scoring himself a few birds to on another pond on the farm

Finally after putting in a bit of preseason recon (well a lot really) My mate got his pheasant 3.5 minutes after leaving the vehicle and I finally managed to shoot one over my own dog and which my dog , actually pointed). Stoked would be the understatement of the day.
Since the limit is one each we ended up back at the car for coffee. All very civilized and a bloody good show, what!
Please excuse the poor photo

Too easy aye Mikee Well done

Awesome! Top effort!

Thanks guys. Only took my wee girl today to help me find em. My wee boy is the better hunter but unfortunately is gunshy He has been relegated to 'pretend hunting. He's much happier as the season is much longer for him.

Fantastic result Mikee !!!

It must be wearing that nurses outfit under your hunting clobber that makes you freeze

Dix and I went down the river with Harry...Dix worked well and finally a hen was flushed...then this afternoon we were down the Tutaekuri...no pheasants. Poor foto taken on cellfone.

Aidan (14) and his last ducks for the season.

shh tattle talewent on the rakaia thisorning 8 odd ducks on spot only 2 came back only one offering a chance

Well we finished the season yesterday with 11 ducks, 7 were off one pond while jump shooting, that was awesome to see that many left laying on the water when they first jumped!

Think our tally was around the 80 mark, pretty good for 3 shooters I reckon. Was a awesome month I should have gone out more then I did but was good to get the dog doing some work and to hunt with my granddad for the last time, according to him, well see next year. I don't think he can stop himself coming out to the mai mai

5 ducks the other 2 were just out of the camera view.


This was the first real drake we got. Nice green head white ring around the neck and had a good curl on the tail.
