It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely

Sunday was a bit slow as it was hot clear sky and little wind. Absolutley stoked with Bo he found a few lost birds.And retrieved every bird that fell on the water.
Went back to the big pond with Bo lost a sack 100 metres down the track off the quad,sent him up the track and he brought it back.Fulled that with ducks.The fella on the moterbike took 8 after I rigged up a back pack for him. Ended the weekend with 40 birds."Thats not a knife, this is a knife"

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.

Nothing like sitting at the pond just you and the dog and taking it all in ah @Dundee
It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

6 more mallards a parrie and a quail dealt to tonight.
Hunted a small pond just up the road and it's a whole different ball game to the irrigation ponds I hunted over opening weekend. I really enjoyed the dynamics of the small pond it meant every bird that dropped in was in range and fair game.
Also we shot from the cover if some long grass under a willow tree instead of layout blinds which was a nice change.
