Good luck today guys.
Quietest ODM I have ever experienced...dog picked up one pheasant scent bed (bird well gone) only in the four hours up the river...only birds we saw were fantails and a group of very nervous parries, mostly juveniles...didnt see a human either, its usually like Central Station...no guys duckshooting on that area on the river like last year...invited to go to a night pond today so see if I can do better on the ducks!!! At least the dog is a happy dog! Oh well, there is tomorrow!
Better luck on the ducks EeeBees.Quote:

The dog did his part, ran his soul out so we bagged a rooster... he really made my day...

but still a lot of fun and good feeds with some roast duck to come:thumbsup:
the rakaia river was cranking from the amount of shooting but not to many came our way[pond just off it]. sunday was same wheather and a few chances with 2 and a parrie taken
we pulled out about one,ish sunday as we had apile of gear to get out:D.
Look at the date of the post.... that was last year with 5 shooters....Quote:

You would be a bit of an idiot to post about shooting more than ypur limit...
Here's how our opening weekend went. 15 mallards and 42 parries in total. Not as many as expected but still not bad either. Around 200 (mixture of both) lifted off when we arrived. And only parries come back during the day. Most birds were flying pretty high because of the lack of wind and real hard to pull in.
We got enough to fill up some freezers

Know that funny feeling I had that I wasn't going to school. Gut must know best cause I was down the river :D
Little brother on the way down in the boat says I don't want to go all the way to your spot lets just go here, I shouldn't haven't listened. Ducks galore in my spot there a boat floated down with some shooters they went past my spot we heard about 5-6 shots go off 100's flew out, most came back and shot right back 10min later.
We got one though, silly drake came along with 2 hens but we both nailed the drake, I was hoping he'd go for the hens cause they were next to each other but should have known he'd shoot the drake too.
Pip got it :D

I hope you gave your brother shit for that Toby.
He never heard the end of it rushy, lucky he sat about 2m away actually or he'd get a clip around the ears for each duck landing where I said they would haha
It is good to see that little brothers still get a smack in the lug hole from older brothers.Quote:
