Thread: Game bird diary for all

Late opening post- headed over the coast as i have every opening weekend of my 5 years duck shooting to shoot with the father inlaw although only 5 years i love the tradition as much as the actual shoot and can't wait for my boys to be the age to get really involved.
Changed our opening morning plans last minute and we only managed 2 greys and a mallard saturday before rehydrating and planning for our original pond sunday morning.


the pond is below bluffs in native bush just of the river and the short jet boat in in the dark always gets you primed, the birds drop in so fast you hear the whoosh before you see them and i shoot from a platform about 15ft up in a white pine thats been there 25yrs apparently and still sound (ish)

14 birds in 2 hours should of been 20 really but oh well, good excuse for more practice dog was awesome we lost one runner when 3 went down, and he caught and killed a feral moggy when we were plucking, so that will help replace the 17 we took.[ATTACH=CONFIG]36356
