Up at sparrows fart in the morning MD?
Working day mate...working day.
Decoys are sorted, blind final brushing up complete. Big mutton roast is done. Other 2 guys have patterned and function tested guns. Everyone's here so time to have a big late lunch then a couple of beers. Up at 0400hrs tomorrow
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 :)
Taking the old Beretta out @Woody?
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.
No more sleeps
Have at ‘em fellahs
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.
No time for tea or bickies at my place.. ducks absolutly everywhere.. swans and geese on the pond watched the action and didn't fly, the little .410 got hot. Hoe for a coffee by 8am :thumbsup:
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.
Called it after lunch..... ?? we ate so much we ate into the future........ hahaha
Still a fun day with mates is all it's about.
