Why so when they wander too far from home they can fall victim to yourself Happy? Just like our Maketu ones!

Craig I have never been a duck shooter and have never set foot inside a mai mai (in or out of season). The only time I shoot ducks is when they piss me off (like Parries squaking when I am out out on the farm) and on those occassions I just call it pest control. I wouldn't mind giving it a go some time before I get nailed in the box

Aw don't be sad .... Actually it looks like you have a plastic bag over your head and are in the last throes of asphyxia (choking.. easier to spull)

At least I saved that Maketu one so he didn't end up in a Maketu Steak pie ... he he he .. They don't need legbands they should paint yours a different colour cos
with my eyes they all look the same ... We ll have to get you over next season so you can return the gesture... Just the one though ok ?

lol i totally understand . i managed to get out on a ballot hunt in woodhill sat morning with some mates was good day saw a stag and two hinds trot thu couldnt place a good shot so i didnt want to buggar it up for mates. So i let them trott on eg disappear , was so surprised to see ducklings this early tho

Craig you re one of the lucky ones who got in eh... Well done ... we missed out this year and have never been there. Did any in your party get an animal? Were there many about to see or was it quiet and tricky ?

make sure someone in your party gets a doe permit because u can only shoot animals with 3 or more spikes on there head, one per person no swapping permits etc . Great day out plenty of animals around. still hunting is what will get u the animal in my mind but everyone different . They do get pushed around a bit by the hunters . hope this helps
