    Got the hang of it pretty quickly and we were into them. I finished up with 10 or so and final tally not really sure of as the boys had them all cleaned and bagged for us before we
    finished hunting for the day. 6 Turkeys possibly more and we got a couple of mallards as well. Bought home a fair pile of meat so awesome.

    Enjoyable weekend for me as for a change I did no planning , no driving, and our hosts wouldn't even let us clean up.

    He ll be happy though when he opens his freezer and finds a pile of veni steaks we left in there ha ha ...

    We were leaving only to find out mates uncle had organised a visit to probably NZ best trophy room having been mates with a certain great hunter for quite some years.
