Yeah maybe a little bit, but Ness is going awesome so pretty stoked.

Can't believe I started this thread and have never even shot a pheasant.Get closure on the farm and I have an invite up the Bay a bit.

went out for last hunt of 2017 today -another farm up the grey valley.bugger all about-had one mob of parries in sight but just settin up to do a stalk when a hua of a domestic broke out about 6 in a scrap screamin and divin at each other before headin everywhere.
had another pair come in a little later but farmstaff had a mob of cows in the adjacent race and courtesy &commonsense ruled.mind you id have been hard pressed to clean em up anyhowcause on sighting these bellowing shitting things and short fat man with long hollow stick,they soon figures out fuckofski was their saviour.
beautiful day to be out and about though over here in grey,and its duck for tea tonight so I cant complain.
thanks to darryl &suzanne for hosting me,indeed to all those farmers who selflessly allow us duckshooters to hunt on their farms. may your generosity repay you 6 fold.

Today's walk

sat on pond sunday evening had two mallards come in but let fly 5 metres to soon i reckon,
oh well quail still open and parries and swans untill the end of september and geese all the time.

Visited the family in Te muka last few days.....few social visits to a few farms I got permission to shoot on last time I was down and they were disappointed I never bought a gun down, ducks for Africa, what a magic place reminds me how it used to be in the waikato.
As per the norm seen a few pheasants around Ashburton on the road side.

know what you mean kawhia but without a dog i restrict myself to game and places i know i can recover .
mallards closed sunday last but plenty to keep bird hunter happy dog or no.

had a day on pigeon's today with a mate to work her dog,a lot of work for a little dog

Nice haul there @nightshooter how many you get? Also what where they coming in on?

@Sideshow we ended up with 79 pigeon's.i'm not sure what they where coming in for but i think it was water or grit,i had mostly 1 and 2 coming in all day with no big mob's it was good because i was the only one shooting

Year @nightshooter don't bomb up the big mobs get out of your hide and wave them off. They then come back in ones and twos.
Give it 10 days and you will be good to go again. Not before as that time is there memory span. Once that is up they have either forgotten our once more think that it's safe.
Good luck
Oh open up a few crops and find out what they have been eating you might then get another wack at them on there food source

@Sideshow hoping to get back at them about the end of the month,the farmer feed's a lot of grain to his sheep so they are alway's on his farm

kotuku wood pidgeons aint gamebirds.
yes they tasty yes they have feathers but no notty allowed to eatty.

BAD KOTUKU BAD,BAD KOTUKU
