    Pond check yesterday avo, last minute tidy up and drop off last of our grain. Looking good. Only about 50 ducks on it when we went there yesterday...most years there are a lot more. Word is duck numbers down here are back down to numbers similar to ‘14-15...which is interesting, they were a couple of our best years. Be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Starting to get excited.

    We cleaned it up five years ago and planted a lot of natives so pays to fence it off!! Mai mai is tucked under the big willows on the left, facing the hills “west”. Great for evening hunts.

    Dropped off 6 lots of Texas rigged decoys at the maimai last night, water looking exceptional with plenty of birds in the air.
    Big bonus for me is that the Regional Council have had a machine in cutting the access track back and means I can get the 4x4 in, saving me a 500 metre carry / drag with decoys this is awesome so was worth me putting a maintenance request in to them to maintain access for recreational use.

    f&G used to grade the track every year or so at boggy but as far as i can tell since selling to doc it aint touched it for at least two.
    im taking shells and floaters just in case the waters dropped a foot or 3.
    was going to go for a looktoday but thought screw it stay aways.
    why visit just for the sake of it seems a better option to leave it be but be prepared for lower water.
