    Had an awesome last 10 days hunting chamois and Thar.
    Got tomorrow and Sunday morning chasing ducks before I head back in to the alps for another 10 days.
    Hope everyone participating in waterfouling has a great weekend and most of all a safe one.

    Good luck all. Hot barrels

    Had 6 of us in lay down blinds on a Canterbury irrigation pond for the weekend. Had a massive day Saturday with 216 ducks shot and 8 swans. Smashed our record for opening with alot more paradise shot this year than last. Shot another 35 ducks mostly mallards on Sunday morning. Had to work hard on Sunday with clear sky's and no wind.
    Was a great weekend and now have plenty of duck to keep the Lincoln flats fed.
    Looking foward to getting out on ellesmere and some smaller ponds throughout the season.

    Had two sets of 3 blinds 10m apart. Had 150 odd decoys with a kill hole in front of each set of blinds.
