Thread: Parrie Weekend

Situation like that I send the dog to flush them ,then call them .They generally come straight to the call, don't seem to associate dog with gun. Works most of time & if out in middle of an open paddock not easy to get near them .
Another trick is to just walk straight towards them ,they will often try to fly back past you .

Turned out an alright day One parrie drake earlier today as you might have seen

Then headed down to the river with my silos

Poked them in the river and nearbye and went for a bit of a fish,gun slung over shoulder few birds flying around.

Get a text from Mrs D saying tea at ya mums.

Shit rito headn back thru the paddock and see a small ,mob of parries so dropped my rod loaded up an into them

Got two drakes



Had tea and said too brother you want to come for a duck shoot

Fuck yeah! He said so a few of his kids and Pt were ready once I got home an got another shotty

We headed down me on quad other clowns in ute

One of my brothers boys got his nuts fried on the hot wire
Another one of his boys is a friggen giant and didn't want too climb the fence so we left him to it and headed down too the river.

Brother armed and hes says no birds down here, then I said there they are and he started yelling too get them to fly

I said don't shoot!

The bugger would of peppered my silos



Anyway he buggered off and gave the gun too Possom Trapper

And two were just a little upstream from the silos,we never saw them come in but PT went out and flanked them and bagged one

4 parrie drakes on day one

PTs retreives

At least you got some. And your retriver understands english thats a bonus

Brilliant Dundee. What is it with kids and hot wires?

Bro keen to shoot up your silos...classic

The breasts sit in the fridge for a day or two then we will get into them

Venison patties and sausages on bbq all done Might head back to river after dinner

Can't keep away set some rods up while we waited



No luck on the trout but we saw plenty rise.

We got 1 and another hit the river then got up and took off

Guess it will die somewhere

Im getting amped about duck shooting now!!!! Haven't even seen many though I think it will be a shit season

I think the reason the parries haven't found the barley crops this year is every paddocks brown

Another parrie at the river last night

Ahh parries. Next time you are caught out in the open when hunting parries, lie on your back and kick your feet in the air like riding a bike. I shit you not - they will come over for a look. Kinda like a flappy decoy - only in Redbands!!!

Moved my silos from the river to a pond that has water heres a few pics


One week left nothing tonight but theres some big ass eels rising in this pond.

Last night here, heading out now but not looking promising.

How did every one else get on?

All over and no birds tonight.


But i got an eel
