First wet night for the season and nothing

The last ducks have been sliced

jet with 9 quail in the hawkes bay

Good to see our 'burglar alarms' have survived. Any strange vehicle that comes on, or slows down around the house, and these noisy buggers start squawking. There's another 6 perched up in the trees giving more warning.
Up to opening you could get within 50m of them, abit scarey at the moment...

Just a bit wet out there now.

Nah its hanging on the line now

Got a mallard hen at the creek this arvo.
Mate turned up we were going too big pond for night shoot but cyclone Donna kicked that idea in the butt.Bridge under water.

Headed off to run off where I got the drake earlier today and bagged another green head.

Awesome night for it.
Windy & Wet, Ducks are flying
A few shots, a few mares, it was amateur hour.

All dried out now, roll on Big water shooting on Sunday.

Dundee that's a classic story! Do you still have the knife?

Not that one.

Got this in the morning flew out with 5 other greys so dropped him. Gonna have me some more duck nuggets

Went for a wander down the river this afternoon

Flushed a couple out, but with no dog, and the boy not willing to go swimming, we let them go

Had a cook up before setting up for night shoot

Can't afford layout blinds, these work fine

Had a couple of Teal turn up.......but no ducks. Tomorrow's another day

Here in Eastern the limit is 8 each per day. My son and I had our usual week off to go duckshooting, and we managed 14 Opening, 11 Sunday, 7 Monday, then limits Tues through to yesterday (Saturday). Not going out today!
Reuben's new pup had an awesome time, and started retrieving from first thing (even two at a time). Has found every woundie, so he is absolutely stoked with his dog. He has one very tired dog!
