    Good opening for us

    Shot the same pond as last year, decided to set up in a new spot, what a fuck up, had ducks decoying the the decoys but then dropping in the middle of the pond, we were to close to the trees.

    After only have 5 ish by 8am on saturday we moved all decoys and blinds to the other side of pond and ended up limiting out.

    Today was much better, birds coming straight in on the fog and had our limits pretty early.

    100...ish mallards, 20 parries, 1 swan, 2 pigeons, 3 magpies, 1 plover and 2 quail for the weekend.

    Bloody excellent result.
    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
