Those kind of photos need a place of their own. A dog with a job done and bag of birds / game. Simply beautiful!

Thanks stingray! Yep I've got a game book where I write down every outing good and bad
It's a very English thing to do and they all seem to do it here.
I also have a pin up board in office where I have been putting up all such shots. Write back from when I was a kid till now.
Good to look back. But I love to look forward more

On the board again,the old bitch has lost the plot.Retirement at the end of season for Jess.

Got my arse kicked on the lake today. First spot was blowing forty bastards, no mallards . Didn't even set up . Next spot not much better 1 duck for 1 shot over 3 hrs . Low lake was slim pickings .

That is a lot of breasting you poor bugger.


I got a rooster yesterday. Only clipped it, @hillclima 's dog did a good track to find it. My dog also did a great point on a hedgehog that I added to the bag!

A mate and I had an ok day on Sunday. A couple more Pukeko's would have been nice. Sorry for the photo quality, my new camera took a swim in the Hoteo last weekend and I'm back on the phone until I replace it.



Lauries first - an absolute horse of a bird



Lunch time



Last bird for me



A couple of happy guys and an absolutely shattered dog.

Dunno witch pond to freeze my balls at tonight,might try the green one.Pissed down last night over at the big pond and was dark by 1750hrs when birds landed on the water and couldn't even see them.

When its like that you gotta stand as close to directly underneath them to be able to see them. I like nights when the moon is behind light cloud best. Starry clear nights are too tough for my eyes to pick them up these days.
