About half an hour after shootable light there were lots and lots of shots tho so I guess where I was at least people are playing by the rules.

Yip, fair enough, maybe not the whole group, but it's starts to wear abit thin after a while.
And as for shitting in my nest, you will have to agree that around the countryside, not all places follow 'farming best practice' at all times.
Hot days and very little shade, snow on ground with little shelter, flooding.... Alot outside the control of farmer, but it's there and happens.

I'm pissed off with what you said, and did take it personally, but after a while the feathers lose some of their oil, and the shit does filter through.
All you hear and see is fecken dirty dairy, farmers, truck drivers,hunters.....
I can go to bed with a clear conscience, but it appears just about every fecker out there is either an armchair expert, after money or just there to stick the knife in.

I gotta say this is silly. 6:13, pitch black out and shot guns still blasting on the Kaipara river. You couldn't see a duck at the moment if it flew into your Maimai.

You really can. Shooting until 6.30 up there is easily possible

Just got off the phone with Dad looks like they had a lovely day in the Waikato.
Got 16 so there happy. They where just sitting down for the annual roast dinner and after shoot celebration.
This my family have been doing for as long as I can remember.
My first experience into the world of hunting was standing on the side of the Piako river with Dad for a night shoot.
Very jealous hope you guys all had a good Dad too.
Good luck for tomorrow be safe. Oh and don’t forget when cleaning your guns for those with chokes give them a wipe of oil.

Yes steel is crap, spent the morning chasing wounded ducks down the river some needed multiple shots. This evening took the 16g out 6 shots, 4 ducks no problems but it looks like the last time this year for sub gagues. Might have to get a muzzle loader.

Good duck shooting weather out there now , pissing down hopefully it keeps up tomorrow

Another still clear night here. It will be another fine day with no wind tomorrow. 5 years in a row

@gsp follower I have said directly to probably 4 or 5 different guys now in this post if you can show me where I threw you all in the same boat then I apologise unreservedly, it seems like you are all willing to throw yourself into that boat without much encouragement. Right early on in this thread there was actually some constructive conversation where a few said that yes those comments ring true but we are not all like that, this is how we do things, etc etc, then the likes of Woody and Boaraxa and yourself had to start beating your chests like I had made some kind on personal attack on you.

Your list of 3 mite be a bit on the conservative side ! not that I felt personally attacked more that you jumped on everyones fun on the eve of the season which is pretty ratshit as there is some real keen beans on here , so did anyone dump more birds on your property this weekend ? any duck shooters wounded ? iv read the stuff web no mentions of bad behaviour so far .

Come on guy deep breaths needed, I had enough "handbags at dawn" with my last employer

Yet you use these words mate, you can not expect any farmer to not take offence when your opening line is this...

Good attitude you guys have towards those you then get on your knees for to get access. Our new place has one of the major access points into the upper rakaia on it, cant wait to put a padlock on the gate to keep the fuckwits out

enough said

I personally felt Ryan's comments took the gloss off an awesome traditional weekend for me personally. I don't want to hear that crap on the evening of duckshooting, cant sleep the night before duckshooting at the best of times.

Say what you want about duckshooting but when grown men cant sleep due to excitement well that says something.

We had a bloody good weekend, just came in from the night shoot
