One parry hen came straight at the spread of decoys and was blasted out of the sky from the mai mai:D

Windy again when we left and only three decoys were visable when we left,might be some good eels to retrieve in the morning:yuush:

Sad thing is, I must have seen 30? In my defense it's my first outing for quail this year, and I take a bit of adjustment :P I have to keep telling myself they aren't going as fast as they look!
About time I contributed to this thread. New possie in the F&G ballot. Took a lot of work pre-season. Pulled a bloody acre of raupo, bowled the old maimai, and built a new on in a better spot.
My son and I took our usual week off work, and went duck hunting all week for the first week of the season. Had a good opening day, with limits pretty early, so went for a wander and bagged 3 roosters between us. F&G rangers spotted us coming back and checked us out. Seems we did better than most in the area. Got limits most days for the week, but at 6 each per day, not a big bag. Here's a few pics.

Went for another rooster hunt later in the week and managed another couple each.

I also got about 2-1/2hrs of video, so a bloody great time really. Been slim pickings since, with 3-4 birds between 2 of us each day for the weekends since opening.
Score Lentil, well done mate!!!!
I could see the birds decoying in to you, a great reward for the effort put in.
Hell - you have good eyes. It seems that more birds came from our end than last year, so a bit hard for you guys. Nice to meet you on the Friday before. You going back this last weekend?Quote:
