Who's excited about duck shooting tomorrow?? Hope everyone stays safe and has a good time and if your down south, hope you don't get too many protestors!
Yes I am extremely excited about roaming around all my paddocks putting wounded ducks out of their misery, as I was last year, and the year before that. I'm also looking forward to the obligatory news report of "drunken idiot shoots mate"
I also look forward to finding piles of dead ducks thrown down banks or into farmers paddocks after all the "look how many ducks I shot and lined up on the bonnet of my ute because I am an alpha hunter" photos have been posted to Facebook.
Your page been hacked by antis Ryan? There's always a few rotten eggs in every bunch, seen plenty of unused or poorly disposed of pigs and deer too.
To answer the OP's question very excited and good to go, as soon as work finishes.
Yep @7mmTom. Just got back from paddling up the creek in my canadian canoe loaded to the gunwales with deks and a short stepladder to sit on amongst the carex in my chest waders. A low limit here, but am looking forward to it. Dogs had a recce around the swamp and we set up a spot for wheelchair access for my para mate.
@Ryan_Songhurst. :wtfsmilie: We're not all killers and wasters. I have never wasted any of my birds, always hunt with good dogs and lose sfa wounded.
Roll on the Opening :thumbsup: Good luck all genuine duck hunters.
Some "bunches" seem to have quite a few more rotten eggs than others. Mark my words, by the end of the weekend some idiot would have shot some poor bastard. I'm sick of it every year there's ducks flapping around with broken wings etc, every year I find piles of dead ducks just dumped somewhere (trying to find my post from last year with photographic evidence of this)Quote:

Need to get rid of the whole gamebird season thing and make it year round so there's no rush of mad idiots making an event out of opening day, it's the same as all the blokes that rush out for their one hunt of the year on Easter weekend and shoot someone in the Bush, happens every year. Its a shambles
Go back to pumping effluent into the rivers or whatever you dairy farming bunch do

Here we go, here's last year's efforts from some idiot who decided my paddock looked like a good spot to throw all his/her dead ducks. What a waste

Understand your frustrations but most guys are pretty darn good, make the most of the birds dispose of the waste correctly and don't blast at ducks out of range wounding them, atleast all the waterfowlers I know.
as mature as you blaming us for the stupidity of them giving licences to every fool who can pass a loaded test and wants to go duckshooting.Quote:

Yeah I'm bloody excited! Get to spend two and half days with five of my best mates doing something we love to do (properly may I add), and we're lucky to all catch up a couple times a year these days.
Just wrapping up at work now, and off to my mates place to crank the BBQ up, crack a cold one and wait on everyone's arrival.
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
How come you don't do ducks?Quote:

Bobby prices were ratshit and more formal disposal was simply an additional cost.
No mate, I will not take it further. Other farmers knew of it. Let the locals sort it; if they want to. Just be aware it still goes on.
Heck man; cant you beg borrow or hire a truck?Quote:

Well I'm quite excited, have a new pond, dog has been following me about all evening as I gear up and put stuff in the truck.
I'm mildly hopeful that I'll have a good day and some ducks to pluck and breast come Sunday arvo.
Suit yerself. Its the truth. End of story.Quote:

Dunno what y on about. I didnt like the waste but if there is no market and no tucker I dont feel the farmer can be blamed for culling. ,22 or spike-the animal is dead.
You said they bludgeoned them beforeQuote:
