parries are easy

well so its said.
but today i managed to make it look not just difficult but bloody near impossible.
arrived at pozzy bout half six,ish to find team of 4 on spot where birds were sitting.
bugger but no biggy ,plenty of room and with only a 5 bird limit i can live off their scraps.
they drop the odd bird or 2 while im setting up sweet as my turn soon.
i watched a 3 bird flight go in to them they drop two and throw 5 shots at the survivor.
i smile inwardly and proceed to miss said bird 3 times f...u...k.
oh but theres worse to come i miss singles, 3,s bigger groups in the front, behind, on the side.
i shot so shite well i shot olympic medal shite.
fortunatly i shot so badly i think i missed them all bar maybe one clean.
everything i could do wrong i did.
short stroking the remy forgetting to pump at all.
not enough lead not shooting early enough, not planting my hoof where i want to shoot to have enough room to swing.
i stayed till ten and was so embarrassed i only waved to the foursome as the left with thier gear and limits.:oh noes:

OH WELL ANOTHER BLOODY DAY TOMMOROW AND THE REST OF THE SEASON:O_O:
NO USE CRYING OVER MISSED PARRIES MY GRANNY USED TO SAY.
: BUT EVEN SO :pissed off::pissed off::pissed off::pissed off::XD::XD:
i was crying to much for pics unless you enjoy pics of sfa

Hey, at least your Mrs will know you need her tonight.

Reminds me of the time I spent a whole day in a muddy ditch, enjoying the pissing rain for two parries which I knocked over and then flew off as I went to collect them :omg:

i had that with a mallard drake when 12 gauge steel became mandatory.
wings flat out on the water
the dog opens its gob to grab him and he turbo,s out of town quacking his arse off

yup, steel shot. i didn't do my part, but pretty sure they would have stayed down if i had been using lead. they probably went off to die somewhere slowly which doesn't make me feel great.

it happens mb
at least now even tho i dont use the 12 anymore the steel my mates use is a far cry from that cheap nasty shit we were pushed into early on.
the lack of forethought and the wrong info by people who were EXPERTS didnt help either.
but the stuff available now is a far cry from that early fiocchi crap and the b&p 32 gram gun killers.
hopefuly i,l get to try the federal 20 gauge upland steel in the near future on parries.

Or just stop shooting ducks. Just let them propagate all over the land, like one of Jehovah's plagues on Egypt.

? I've got some of this that my Granddad gave me when he gave up his fal. Is it dangerous to my shottie? Seems to trim trees alright

Had some cheap (S and B?) ammo years ago that would gum up the entire action after very few rounds and sometimes gave off smoke like a black powder gun, well, almost.

and give fed farmers the excuse they need to start poisoning them on crops cos we aint doin our part ??
not fuckin likely.

went for a rematch at lake elly today but after the 4th tree across the road between rakaia and coes ford.
i decided it was to dangerous to risk ending up under a large pine or three.

Might have been a good move. Just imagine a full grown parrie drake going full noise downwind in that gale, ( if he was brave enough to fly in that wind) .
If you dropped him, he would make a crater in the mud so deep that excavating him would require six large Irishmen or at least a digger on loan from the Selwyn council.

Hmmm-saw a few parries in paddocks coming back from the coast-they said to say hi. your frustration is shooting mine was driving -truck jacknifed trailer on otira -a local wc carrier T Croft driver had to reverse all the way down the bloody otira gorge fully laden with hay and tow the sodding trailer up the gorge. held up traffic+++++++++++for nigh on an hour.
this coupled with inevitable roadworks meant my journey from grey to CHCH almost doubled.
worst -stopped at springfield dunnies for a screaming slash -3busloads of chinee&?german tourists qued up using them.one fat prick came out shaking his head -no wonder -iwalked into the most wretched biological odour ive smelt for a fucking long time. dunno what hed eaten or drunk but it werent a tasty morsel.
cam baCK TO MOTHERS CAR TO FIND CHINEES LEANING ON IT!!!!! fucking lucky they werent a few short on their tour as i gave em a verbal and shot through. Who do they think they are FFS.

my bro in the wholesale shop supply trade said the chinese were the most challenging to deal with

Attachment 82860
we came we saw and eventually we nailed a few.
there were a shitload of geese ducks parries teal swans on the spot when we arrived unfortunatly we had to push them off to get into a maimai.
its not like it was, the geese are nervy as even the parries seem to have range calculators but we got a feed or two with the promise of a good hunt or two to come before the march 4 close.
we must be getting old 4 honkers came right across us we could have droopped at least a couple but think we were so star struck we neever even tried.
i cant emphasise enough how good it was to see good numbers of geese again even tho they appear so paranoid.

smack em stack em and sack em then down the throat !youd be happy as a blowfly on a daggy sheeps arse i bet -can see ya grin from here.as i said to you the other day the"Goose garden" is riddled with their hootchie sites and theyre happier than freedom campers in hagley park.
shit everywhere comfy nests no two legged bangstick toting arsewipes to disturb ya pleasure!

life is good
Attachment 82874
now for a honker or two to join the next batch

Well done mate! How will you cook those breasts?

@MightyBoosh, I cut them up to make schnitzel, beat them with the meat tenderiser, then coat with flour, egg and breadcrumbs ... miam, miam, miam ...

silvery bit peeled then sliced into bite sized slivers fried in butter.
or baked in milk maybe both.:D
since we refrained from shooting obvious old pairs EeBees hopefuly tenderising wont be needed.

what the f..k
dont know why it doubled up.
kotuku old son it might make for a soogy old envelope and you know what homo,s nz post have become

oh damn that was nice salt peeps and a touch of soy and curry.
slightly rare with wedges and sliced beetroot.:on fire:

went out for probably last crack of the summer season.
plenty of birds but damn hard to decoy.
got sfa but so great to see groups of canadas at the lake again especially feeding in the old pozzie.
never seen such clued up parries expect it from geese but parries??
anyway the rest of march is now honker time till the leave anyway

managed to get out again for the last evening/avo of the season talk a
bout the two ronnies.
we shot like them we ended up with another five birds but it was amatuer city.
everytime we hopped out for a pee parries arrived
bieng older guys that was often:yaeh am not durnk:
one of us always got caught in the open just enough to stuff it up for the maimai sitter.
the worst was when we packed up they litterly arrived in waves but by then we were low on ammo and good humour.
still great avo with a mate and enough action to keep us on our toes.

and yes kotuku now ive got more your guts can stop rumbling:D
but i wont post it but it,l be here for when you want a bit.

ive painted up the parrie dekes c404 got from guntity.
mission brown for the hens and flat black and white where needed .
they look ten times better apart from the eyes which i will get a fimne brush for.:yaeh am not durnk:
