It looks like you missed, and it followed you home.

Over my gumboots

Sometimes it doesn't matter how high your waders are, how long your gumboots are or even how deep the water is!



Sometimes people just want to make you smile or roar with laughter.....

thats me in the black ,but im buggered if i know whats in me mouth..incidentally this is a cracker long stretch of water ive nicknamed the carrier deck.on dusk those mallards line up like f18s before droppin in -unaware that theres a battery of guns to negotiate.If GSPF would saod off for 30mins id fit an arrestor cord across the bloody thing to tripa smart mallard or two up and give us an advantage.
my wee possie is at the head of this and is a rather deep hole needing virtually a STOL effort from the mallards . they obviously vbloody like it cause the cackle comin from overhead as they try to entice us to piss off sharpish has to be heard to be believed!! Im in throes of riggin a movement line for our pond.

oih you human! yes you! move on nothing to see ,jobs done ,get ma drift!!!!

As a bit of a twist on the thread title it really was killing time on a recent outing to check out a couple of pozzies. With the Ruger along for a bit of pest control I happened upon this wonderfully conditioned young spiker feeding and blissfully unaware of my presence. I was getting a little edgy with an inconsistent breeze and his swede partially obscured for the best part of a minute and a half. With tiring arms it was finally time to touch the trigger- instant hooves up. Freezer was starting to develop an eco, so this was right on queue. Thats opening weekend tucker sorted!

squire -that bugger may have migrated from our wee ponds on the mainland!cracker effort though -keep upthe good work ,and heres to hot barrells willing birds and more pies for max!

Good work Tim

Not long now

Countdown to 2. Mai 2015 in Wellington
