Thread: Christchurch/ rakaia duck numbers

Hows it looking down there guys?

Me and my mates are heading doen there to shoot on a dairy farm this year for the first time. Pond is on the northern boundary of the river and eastern side of main road. Benn plenty of ducks on it but haven't been down for a look for a month or two.

Anyone else shoot in that area? Guess it's not far from lake elsemere in a straight line

Ones thing for sure, it will be better than shooting a dry pond in the waikato like I have all my life

You will be in a good spot down there . Mate of mine shoots that area and does very well . Depending where I shoot , let me no where your watering hole is for the weekend ? . May call in on way back through , always like to catch up with like minded .

theres all your desired varieties traipsing up &down the rakaia at present.was out last weekend when a plump young canada dropped into my floating decoys.hes since floated right through my gut ,thanks very much. theres some very promising country there.

seems to be good numbers about only opening will tell but quietly confident you,l be alright

Leaving more ducks for us fullas You .. Beauty

Our ponds are all full surely your Waikato one would be as well by now ??

Best of luck as well of course ..

your welcome to them haha

Na ponds are not looking good, they dried over completely and now weeds have taken over so no open water. Still a few ducks around on the ponds we jump but hardly worth the hassle.

Will be a good change going down south
