Thread: Duckshooting ready

Took me all day to sort my duckshooting shit out . Re paint the kayak , chilly bins and ammo box . New strings on deaks and new decoy main lines . In a good headspace now as I'm well prepared , Take it all to pond tomorrow .

I'm almost embarrased to say that I repaint/restring all my decoys every Xmas. The back lawn gets 100 decoys spread all over it, while the sun bakes on the new paint. I have old wool fadges to store the dekes in. My wife thinks I am obsessive - but I prefer to think that if its worth doing, it's worth doing well. Stripped down the old rattler this arvo (the shotty-not the missus), so all good to go.

I think there is some ammo on the back of the ute, I recall seeing it the other day.

Right, that's all my prep work for duckshooting done.

Think I have every thing organized except the dog ,keep telling him we're going duck shooting next week .
He looks at me like I'm bull shitting him again .

More acorns to collect before we set up later in the week.

Yesterday i had to check every thing fitted in the car so i loaded it up 4 doz ducks 8 geese and cooking gear seems to be the limit. im going to need a trailer if i get any more deeks. Going to have a practice on some clays today

Thought they'd banned feeding ducks for a month before the season ? Or did I read the new regulations wrong?

In waikato they have, not sure on other regions

Fuck they are hammering you islanders.

Appears to be just Waikato ,thought it was eastern as well.

I'll get my licence on Wednesday I think, then I can shoot the 4 ducks on my pond and the parries if they hang round.
