    Yea Nice work Nath,
    I have been feeding a little pond up the gully behind the sheds (about 800m up gully). Its about 7kms down to the Tairei River so I think if I can get them near they will want to stay up here.
    Last year there were 4mallards there all season.
    Started splashing some feed around a month ago and it went to about 15 frequently to now 28mallards, im just putting a small amount out every second morning at the moment. Should prehaps be doing it every morning now.

    Oh and did I say Im shooting near Hinds this year..... The pond should shoot fairly well through the season Im thinking

    Yeah good stuff guys, I cranked up the auto feeder last weekend ( just wheat & Barley ) running 3 short bursts early first thing, there were about 30-40 Mallards happily floating around

    One thing to watch with disk style auto feeders is that theres not any lumps of shit in ya grain, I had a small turd sized lump of hard dirt wedged in the feeder for about two weeks & screw up my feeder one year
    Shoot it, root it & then BBQ it !!!

    The ducks love em.......watched my kids pet ducks eat them its hilarious how they turn the acorn around and scoff em hole.
    Beats putting tonnes of barley or wheat out for sparrows too enjoy.Acorns are a duck feast and the other birds find them too big too eat.
