Thread: Game bird diary for all

Four ducks each weekend so far, mostly Mallards this year, whereas last year was mostly Paradise. Then one Pheasant for me and one for my Pal yesterday. About the right amount of birds, enough to eat, puts some in the freezer and not too much work, but some enjoyable hunting. Started a new immigrant into the sport of chasing ducks as well. Not ducks for him yet, still on the clay birds but starting to come onto the target consistently so perhaps in a week or two, he can try his hand.

Seen a few quail, fist covey was about 20 birds, but with no dog and them flying off over tall scrub, no shooting, but as I was picking up a couple of rocks to hurl into the bushes a couple more flushed and over open ground. Of course not ready. But a few days later got a shot at one lone bird the went up and behind me. He got off free. Hopefully this weeks forecast easterlies are not to bad as I intend to bag some quail.

Managed a few pigeons as well.
