You are doing well young grasshopper. You will need a bag for the bigfoots, cabelas have a four slot one on sale at the moment. Also it's not too late to pick up swan and parrie call, maybe a wing spinner or two.

I'd rather get splashers than spinners. I don't shoot swans but a parrie call is on the cards and I will check out that bag I need a couple more for my ducks. Have you got your new call yet?

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.

My goal is to catch up with a mate, and get to know a new shooter up there too. Share a few good moments, share a few laughs. A few good birds taken cleanly over the dogs would be the icing on the cake

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.

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?

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.

My aim is to better last years duck tally, which in round numbers was a very round number. The same could be said for my goose tally. So basically my aim is to get out more and shoot something.

right on brother right on -i'llrun with that aim too.

And a goose or two, I haven't shot a lot of geese

Get a couple of dog's going on the retrieving and shoot a few six for's.

less than a sako 85 with mk4 scope or maybe the same I left a few things out. I was going to spend 15-18k on a 4wd but decided to spend 5k on a Subaru and go hard on hunting kit for duck and goose shooting, reloading and later optics and a LR Rig.

Purchases for duck shooting since I work a truck load of overtime during the year it gives me a bit more disposable income

New hunting truck just put some new AT tyres on it




Motion decoy




Also got myself a sevylor 360 hunter inflatable I just need to replace a couple of patches to make it 100%

Im pretty safe theres no way my wife will read this "nerdy hunting forum" as she calls it.
