Thread: Duck Opening 2014

Had a great weekend (well sorta)
Ended up crook as a dog duck opening (and for the first time it wasnt self inflicted), so only shot for a couple of hours then was bed ridden for 24 hours.

Managed to take 2 blackies and 2 woodies opening morning. Ellie retrieving a blackie then a woodie. So the blackie is going on the wall as a memento to Ellie's first retrieve. When I was feeling better Sunday took out my 12 year old brother who was having his first season and we shot some dams and channels. Got 9 between us quite easily before I got the orders from the missus to come home.

Managed to take my second ever hardhead drake so he's going on the wall too! such a beautiful duck with their blue bill and white eye (also Australia's hardest duck to shoot).

Unfortunately the excitement was so high and because I was sick opening morning there were no pics which I know makes this thread boring, I'll take some of the ducks I'm having mounted.

Very very proud of my little girl Ellie though, retrieved 8 ducks her first opening weekend, some a long way out so I'm wrapped as could be!
