    Over duck shooting

    This year for the first time I just couldn’t be assed. I’m sick of F&G and their attitude towards farmers. I’ve brought a duck licence for the last 25 odd years. No more donation from me. If it wasn’t for my boy I would have gone deer stalking. I’m lucky I have a pond not 100 m from my house. We sat on that and shot 32. Boy was happy.

    These things ebb and flow. I've just fished my socks off for trout in Rotorua. Had a blast, but got it out my system for a while. I'd sell granny is she was still alive for some duck shooting like that! As with most things hunting and fishing, it would probably be cheaper and easier to buy all our food in the supermarket, but that's not the point is it?

    Indeed we have different times n tides in our lives. My flyrods haven't been used for four years..but I know they are there if I want to use them. I used to do a lot of it. Ducks get in the blood but to be honest,although I would love to shoot a great pond with easy ducks once,I really get most kicks from jump shooting. Seeing the dog ferret a bird out of shitty cover is always a thrill for me. If it was all about numbers I wouldn't be interested. You may find you come back to it again later on. Try some KFC recipe in cubed breast meat... Might give you incentive to shoot more lol.
