@dannyb Checked this morning, the square grenade boxes hold 14 x boxes of 25 shells. They are only about a foot square. Have a fold down carry handle each end. All my shotty ammo is in one.
The normal double wide type ammo box holds six.
Get them at GC or army surplus
57 for the day yesterday.
23 today.
3 parries.
Fairly even numbers of drakes to hens.
Doggo got a good work out that is for sure
We got 144 ducks and 10 geese on Saturday and another 55 ducks on Sunday, I think about 33 parries in the duck count and 1 spoon hen.
All in all a great weekend but a lot of work :D

I felt bad for the old girl missing out so I bought her along this opening after missing a few now . 4 dogs 2 golden labs my Brittany and the old heading dog. This heading dog use to be a bloody machine on the ducks I left her in the Ute for the morning and went and got her at 10am when the birds slowed bought here down to the lake for lunch and she disappeared setting about collecting the missed birds from the young bucks 17 years old and still eager to please. Excuse the average photo it’s a screen shot from the video and cropped to get the file size down
4 yesterday and 1 this morning. We missed a few including a couple of B-52's.
There are some new idiots occupying a maimai at the end of the lake, starting to shoot at 6.20 in the morning and taking shots at anything that flies between 50 and 80 m ruining it for every body else. Not impressed at all.
Just nowhere near those numbers (!), but a good day out. First time shooting on public land and first time shooting from a maimai. Luxury!
