fine as at the mo but the temp with wind chill is still below freezing and a gusty icy souwester.
hope the quail are wearing thier parkas this avo
got a tricky little duck spot to jump shoot but the risks to the dog in retrieving the birds might outway the gain.

Jeese thats cold....hope you where wearing your willy warmer!!!!!!

Thanks @Pointer, he might need a bit more 'stamina conditioning' before he hits the tussock though.....the poor lad was fair tuckered out and needed a nana nap that afternoon.......poor buggar

Brace your self!!

Snow all around this morning.

Me and the dog headed up too the green pond tonight where I dropped a pair this morning.

5degrees c when we got there



That is the best I could do to hide the quad
Stretch the feet out with my swamp boots.


Four mallards flew in and surveyed the pond at a safe height coming straight in between the gums



This got the dog sitting to attention with the big black tail swinging like a friggen hooker


Waited patiently and let out a few calls to the birds but to no avail.

The dog wouldn't have hesitated to retreive birds in the freezing pond.


But thankfully for the dogs sake nothing came within range and I left my ammo belt behind which would of made the four cartridges in the mag even more special if the four birds lowered there altitude

1 degree C at 1830 when we got home..glad my dog didn't get wet or I would be in her kennel as I would have grabbed the closest bath towel to dry her off.

Wasn't looking promising tonight when dog and I departed at 1700hrs.

Another freezing night with no wind.
But my calling brought a pair of mallards in.
The fat drake was the first shot

Followed closely was the second shot that dropped his girlfriend

And were dropped at my swamp boots

A nice fat pair of birds and the dog was dryed down with a bath towel when we got home

Makes it worth freezing your ass if you get a couple of birds, my little mate looks
for a rub down after hes been wet too.Got a look after them ,that water got a be getting cold now.

They were fat buggers to.

a brace[one nice drake and one scruffy one] from this morning
does bracing wheather count in the comp

Ladies and Gents with not long to go in the Welly region I hooked my mate up with a coupler hookers namely the escorts.
Three black hookers at the pond tonight
Jess

The other two escorts hadn't even spoken by night fall
The best hooker was still looking for a jump

But the night was quiet and the three hookers never laid into a bird
We called it a night as I said farewell to my mate,ha thanked me for the breast from last nights escorts
He fried them in butter and were the best duck tits hes ever tried
I brought the two escorts inside right in front of my wife and kids

And chained the other black bitch at a dwelling where I have easy access too those lovely black legs and dribbling lips when she is excited by the big gun going off in front of her face.
I layed my two escorts on the bed for easy pickings
After I had showered and fed myself I locked them to a rack for easy access

Jeese Dundee, where you a ghost writer for 'Penthouse' ?

With all this talk and pics to verify the stories I thought I'd give this bird shooting a go. So several $K and some later I'm the proud owner of a new Benella M2 12g, a couple boxes of shells, a permit to hunt quail and pheasants in the local pine forest and last but not least a game licence.

Several sightless pheasant trips and a lot of walking in the pines later I decided I might as well shoot some hares, or something with a heartbeat. A trip to a local property had me searching for the elusive winter hare from the heated comfort of the Hilux. Suddenly, after cresting a steep rise on a lush green paddock, there was a beautiful big cock pheasant some 30m in front of me and some 300m from the nearest cover. Holy Moly! Scramble to get the M2 out from the back seat and load it while pheasant calmly walks over the hill. Close the bolt slowly as to not alert my prey and a little stalk over the rise and whoosh! Off goes the cock flying directly away from me about 25m distant. Up comes the gun and a perfect sight picture down the rib. Squeeze the trigger and nothing happens, safety must be on - it's not. Bird is now 45 odd metres away and making every post a winning one. Another squeeze on the trigger and nothing.

Of course, I stuffed it up; the bolt hadn't locked up completely because of my silent closing technique. This bird hunting is not as easy as it looks on You Tube I suppose I'll have to invest in a gundog of some description.

Geez 10-Ring I feel for you. What you did to yourself is the best way to prank your fellow M2 user with a sneaky touch on the bolt handle! I've had it happen a few times. Actually had it twice one day on geese sitting up out of a layout blind with the bolt handle catching the door. Pretty frustrating.

As for the pheasant, a trained dog will be easier and very rewarding. Can't wait to see your first bird when it happens. It will be well earned like all good things. Keep at it.

I've just found out that killwell sell 2 1/2 inch twelve gauge shells. Look out 'brace yourself' thread! I'm getting the hammer gun out!

I found a neat old hammer SxS in 20g I nearly brought the otherday. Only reason I didnt was I wasnt sure if it would shoot normal ammo

Where was it? A 20 gauge hammer makes it an odd ball already. Was it nitro proofed? Damascus barrels? Sorry for all the questions it's just that I'm dying for a sub gauge hammer gun! PM me
