    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Ēreek has cut way dosn so lost half acre of prime water. Old hide is high and dry so made a temp one with nets near the creek. Usual resident birds are absent but we're hoping for some pass shooting. Fed some more grain this morning and st decoy in creek and puddles. A few parries cruised ooverhead checking out for fresh creebees and dog is getting real keen.
    Anyway, can only hope for the best and as they say; " if you aint got a line in the water you'll catch no fish. Weathet looks ok though so me and missus and dog will at leadt have a nice picnic

    Yes Ross. Still have some bismuth. Also taking along my old super saive cyl-cyl in case of some close ones early on.. Saive worked at FN and hand built his shotguns. Has a very good weapon engineer, extracted by the brits during both world wars I believe.

    Good luck! Stop reading the forum now and get some sleep. It's not happening for me this year, so looking forward to your stories.

    How did it go MD? Did you slay them? Was it worth the wait?

    Well....first pair came in,Billbob n AJ fired.the drake tipped over. Next pair came in,I fired once drake folded....and that,as they say was that. Nothing else even looked like dropping in. We did drink numerous cups of tea.ate lots of bacon n egg pie,a few goose nuggets,cheese toasties,chocky bickies and even some crisps n lollies. Called it a bit after lunch. Off to lake for a hoon around tomorrow.might manage another bird or two with luck.

    Home by 4. Accidental swim getting a decoy cut the day short. Wind, rain etc so perfect weather and birds played the game to boot.
