    You should head south do some door knocking Hauraki plains & the Piako peat dome ,not much to shoot in Auckland
    You'll find heaps of public access in the Spot-X book ,also the forestry's south of offers some awesome pheasant shooting
    Think pheasant shooting has stopped at Wood Hill forest though.

    Sunday for us was a bit slow with only one on the deck however, that was due in part to our very poor shooting some good opportunities lost because of this. Must have been one of those days.

    Yep, I've been out North mainly and a bit of Waikato, there are still few forests I'd like to check out.

    Waikato was quite funny when I walked up to a forest manager who just so happens to have returned from his pond with bag limit and a pheasant in the trunk, knocked on the wrong door, I wasn't going to get any info out of him...cool dudes tho, had a bit of a laugh and I was off on my way...

    Not sure about Woodhill, last 3 years it was with allocated days, this year I have heard some rumors of ownership/management change.

    Finally got out for a pigeon shoot on Saturday afternoon.
    Sun in my face with the wind at my back. Took my time and set up a really good hide with roof. Which paid off as I could stand back under this and stop my face becoming a big mirror.
    Had around 40 decoys and one pigeon magnet.
    Final score 37 pigeons 5 Jackdoors 2 Rooks
    44 for 102 shoots
    One happy dog one happy shooter best score yet.

    Vast improvement from my last outing roost shooting in high wind 4 for 70

    @mawzer308 - I'll be honest in saying I can't remember the last time I shot that bad.

    Haha yeah me too bit of a shocker aye mate.

    On a brighter note tonights shoot was good, birds decoyed perfect and the remington 11-87 and ultra steel 4's just folded them. Dog worked well too.
