    To start your data base off Munsey, I have never done either.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!

    Ducks on opening and closing weekend. Maybe jump a few ponds and go for a few night shoots during the season.

    Upland for the rest.

    Opening weekend shoot lake / wetlands target Mallards, Greys, Parries, Swans & Canada Geese opening weekend until Tuesday for me. Then it's very much weather dependant on when I shoot the harbour
    Upland I will probably get into more this season plenty of quail & pheasants locally.

    In Canterbury, looking at the forecast, Quail Saturday and Ducks Sunday. Might even venture a little further south for a sneaky Pheasant on Saturday. The Vizsla has been point and flushing Quail well over the past couple of weeks, even put a couple of Roosters up in North Canterbury region.

    Maybe Chukar next weekend...........
