Thread: Mai Mai Prep for 2012

The kind cocky has had the digger in and cleaned out the pond . She even went as far as having the driver mound up some earth in the correct position to form the beginings of a small mai mai



Am really looking forward to next year as we were reguarly getting 20 plus mallards from a night shoot at the season end here . We used to sit in lay out blinds in the same spot.



With a bit of planting and TLC it will be good to go in 5 months.

The mission the weekend before was moving the other mai mai 200 m further out into the lake while it was dry .Again this will be completed before the end of January to give the locals time to get used to it.



No tractors were stuck this time but thats a different story

Both are great looking possies you've got there Nathan.

perhaps we should be thinking about ours eh breda

Yeah, "that" time of year is rolling around!!

Those decoys I brought off you are still doing their thing ! Some might need a lick of paint. I cant wait
for it.

Good to hear the decz are going ok. I can't wait for my next days hunting to be honest. I am in the middle of my longest period of no hunting in maybe 10 years!! Been busy with work and domestic chores. I should be back down next season.... we might have to "T" up a day on the lake.

Yep no worries

Nice looking dam, hope you post some more photo's as your TLC goes forward.

i need to camo my boat, anyone know whats a good paint for a fibreglass boat ???

Went and cut a trailer load of manuka today and headed out to the lake with some power tools to add the finishing touch's


All the manuka was wired into place and scrub and grass cut back to allow better visibility of the full bodied dek's!


It was very pleasing to see all the ducks and geese hanging around when we arrived. They seem very comfortable with the
new structure

Geese, what geese? Aren't they all dead? Mai mai looks the ducks nuts!! Great job.

I'm going to shift mine a couple of hundred metres as well, how low was the lake Nathan?

Got POND EYED UP WERE i'M WORKING, just gonna ease the boss into giving it to me. Maybe....

The lake is still pretty low and I dont think they have even dented the goose numbers.

Nice!
Hope that tea tree doesn't die by opening
