That would be the bstd I scared on opening morning just down the coast a bit. It was probably a mallard before it swam in the Maketu estuary - then lost all it's colour. Those shits you had was not just the curry!!!!!!!!!

Been a bit slack on the pics lately, I promised myself I would record my season with photos this year, better get back onto it

This was the result of one mad day, out for a few hours, not a single find then come across them all having a korero on the river edge. We both missed all bar one!

Put this one up myself but couldn't get to him, went and got Patch and he pulled off a nice blind retrieve on the pricked bird, holed up in scrub on the other side of a flooded creek. Delivered to hand very much alive. My biggest rooster this season

Le piglet gets his first bird.
Took him out for a training run, he took scent and he went up onto a scrubby bank and locked up. Walked him in, bird lifts, good boy good boy. 5 seconds later, locks up again, road him in again, another bird lifts, nice big cock, bugger this - back to the truck for the gun. this was the third bird he found that day, and pigs first:
