Thread: Exciting this season.....

Have you made or are you about to make a purchase that has been keenly anticipated? Have you got a goal for the season?

Other priorities have meant I haven't made too many duck related purchases this season so my excitement will come from goals I have set to hunt a few area's I haven't hunted before. As always I'm keen to see Max expand my hunting opportunities and also I want to get more and better photo's.

So what's in store for you this season?

I want to try film some shooting this year last year I had the camera set up but was too busy shooting to film I didn't want to miss out on the action and neither did my brother. This year I will try harder.

I look forward to seeing your pics.

Invite Peter Jackson along for opening morning Toby. Tell him to bring a film crew

My goal is to be able to perhaps see water from my maimai ! . And then perhaps a duck ! .

I went a bit crazy in the last 12 months gone from never been duck shooting before this time last year to owning 2 doz ghg pg floaters 2doz ghg pg full bodys. dead zone layout blind, hammond RIP, DC duck picker, BG spit fire, Zink green machine duck calls. Hammond short reed and a molt gear EX3 goose calls. Half a doz big foot goose decoys on the way and a couple floaters. access to half a dozen ponds and grain stubble.
Goals: be more selective and accurate with my shots
Try not to get too excited and focus on my shooting form.

To get a 'wild deer' from my own efforts.......

Excited to see how my spread looks

You have done well Username.

My new toys for the season are a new goose call in this years colors and automatic feeders to try and turn our pond into a morning pond. I don't have a goal because I have shot enough birds in the early season that I will still be happy even if duck season is a fizzer.

Gday Massive you may have noted i have started my big foot army even though i was going to leave any goose purchaces till next year just cant help myself.

My goal is to put petros and his Irish setter onto some pheasants & quail during the week we are up north , Pointer is joining us also so looking forward to opening and the week that follows.

Petros will have a great time with his Setter UP north and his dog will do famously with you up there Z !

Have a couple of new duck calls for this season ,seem to be a bit better than the previous. And a dozen Parry decoys that hope fully will bring a few more birds into range .Went a little over board with the new 3D camo gear but might pay off too.

I take it you are a boots and all type of guy. You'll get plenty of joy out of that lot

Thats a great goal that plenty of us should adopt....

Like Toby, I hope to improve my video footage this year. I usually get about 2 hours of unedited footage, and I am learning more about what not to do!!. With a little camcorder, there is plenty that can go wrong. I will try not to get another 15 mins of footage of my feet, while talking crap with my son. The video gets dumped when a mob comes around, but I think I will do more video than shooting this year - well I have good intentions anyway.
