    Had a mosey round the forest on Saturday. Gusty wind and wet and cool. Burl pointed two hen birds but no roosters to be found. Took delivery of a young GWP pup so spent remainder of the weekend settling him in and still doing so.

    Dangling my camo legs over the puddle wall was a nice comfy position to wait and call.

    Nothing seen after the shots but some swans flew over about 1800hrs and wet the puddle,I heard the splatter and had to check myself in the frozen conditions for safety reasons otherwise work safe might of been involved. It was too dark at 1800 but I was wrapped with a pair of mallards and knowing old Jess was warm in her kennel and I could do the retreive in three inches of water

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Went for a drift on the last day of Auckland/Waikato ducks, does black powder contribute to global warming? Too f...ing bad if it does.





    Been keeping up with the roosters too.



    She was watching a pair of parries circling us
