Thread: A few pictures to pass the time

My computer has been doing some strange things I think due to a lack of memory so I thought I would try and spend a little time each day deleting and tidying up and I thought it would be novel to dump a few pictures here counting down toward opening day. This first bunch I have already posted elsewhere judging by the folder they are in. I will endevour to put a new photo up every day that I am at my computer.










There is live geese that stayed in the decoys. I drove around by the blind, grabbed my shotty loaded it and shot a couple!





















Max looks like he has no faith in my boating skills. Dunno why?








You guys have no idea who I am do you

Last one is classic!!

Fantastic photography

Nice pics

Awsome

Looks like you have a pair of red bands for every day of the week?

The White Swan are at Elley. I haven't seen them at Lake Wairarapa yet. There is a good number floating between Henley Lake and the Masterton Settling ponds however. A grand bird.

Thank you in relation comments on the pictures. I am an average photographer that appears better in the digital era, i.e I just push the button alot. There is heaps of duds which I should delete( I then wouldn't be in this position). Selfishly there are a few pictures I retain for myself or articles. I do put myself in a position to take lots of photo's. I think many will appreciate pictures taken in a hunting situation as opposed to down at the park. Rather than envy look on these pictures with imagination of what your season might produce

Um no it was a bit of a piss take of shooting cunning crop (or any) fed ducks as gear related success. I couldn't have done it with out my new soft shooting ultra camoed whizz bangger that fires %77.146 percent of ultra killum ect ect ect- speaking of which have you seen my new decoys

Fully Feathered Immitation- (or FFI) gives unreal results in those bluebird days when you probably should be mowing lawns


An FFI Flappy- Superb realism yet totally sporting.


Different angle


We tried a few postures- This one didn't suck them in with un natural ease so we canned it




The Single FFI Flappy proved so successful we thought with a double we might smash em up even better. Note the ultra invisible mounting rods


And just for you guys struggling on Parries I thought the FFI Flappy Parry Puller was a must. (I have some unbelievable shots of this device in the field in other folders sorry) Note that an aquantance shot at this Flappy, which at half a years wages I wasn't that happy about


And a goose model



Then the epitomy of sporting technology the FFI Gaggle, if you do not have this device you are NOT a goose hunter! Quite hard to set up on windy days. But don't it look good!


Righto there is still a few in this folder I could (re)use but I am home alone with the boy and some of his mates so I'm cooking. Timer was set to go off at 6pm in my second kitchen I like to call Pizza Hut.

Very Cool, cheers Tim
