    Mataveges Report

    We had three of us in one Mai Mai and 30CalTerry in another plus on the neighbours pond where they were not shooting a couple of 09ers who
    are mates of the bro in law.
    Wicked weekend we started working at 1.30 on Friday went to the pond at 5.30 Sat and basically shot ducks til last night on these and other ponds we have access to.
    Sat Sund total between the six of us 100 or something mallards and 10 or so parries...
    Retrieve of the weekend to the my brown lab Murph who sniffed his way across three paddocks to bring back a winger who had walked off. He wnt probably 3 to 400
    mtrs to find it and didnt pause much on the way.
    So wicked good company , wicked shooting , food, giving the 09ers shit and awesome weekend.. Worst thing was when the 09ers beat us in the darts but there you go ...

    Back to reality now. Opening weekend we shot 74 mallards and 2 parries. We shot a couple mallards monday morning before my cousin and i headed up to my place. Our first shoot was mon evening at my small pond on the beach that i had been feeding. weather was rough so our hopes were high. Turned out to be a great shoot 25 mallards. Tuesday the weather had cleared and the one hundred plus birds that had been bunkered down on the neighbours pond never came back we shot 10 mallards and a spoonie. That evening we set up at the main pond. We weren't expecting much traffic because of the fine weather but went down at 2pm and relaxed in the blinds in the sun. We had only shot one mallard one spoonie but then 5 geese came in we cleaned up 2 of them then it started raining swans 6 in total. Finally wed morn we were set up in the same place as the night before 3 mallards 2 spoonies and a parrie. Good times.

    No, the rectangular bit that took a hammering when you bought all that new kit.

    Sue the heli operator Dundee. How much value would you put on a lost duck opportunity?
