Thread: Game bird diary for all

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!

Got home at 1715, quick grab of gear and 3 decoys, on the river 1725, a couple of calls, single flies over, landing gear down,bang, duck in the hand,home again 1740. Beer o'clock.

I was bloody impressed with the dog, man that thing can work. Watched some of it's retrieves and there was no way in the world I would of faulted it. Oh yeh thanks for the ph call saying that it's on.

Got my first pook for the season,then managed to cross the bridge to the big pond and froze my arse off.Heard a few shots,had two ducks approach on my arrival but they scarpered before I made it to the mai mai.Nothing else showed up.9 days into it haven't missed a night yet.

Ooops. Thought you were working all week. Sorry mate!

Another freezing night,spent an hour at river with rod and gun.Then just before dark moved to a shallow night pond where I dropped off more acorns.Saw a few birds but nothing in range.But another blank night was rewarded with duck snitchzel after I got back from a "stoney creek" promotion at the local sports shop.

What's Dave up to

Munsey I can take a joke as well as the next man but a bloody gale force westerly??
of all the most useless wind variations for my spots,mr funny bugger huey hit it on the head first fn time.
maybe it,l snow and I can road runner some quail

Bloody weather bomb hit every paddock, creek has puddles in it.River is in full flood again. Finding a posey to find ducks when there is that much water around was tuff.

Had two fly over but never presented a shot.
Quad was well concealed under the hedge with all the old crappy hunting jackets.

Dundee I have been studying this duck shooting lark and I have worked out that wherever I see ducks, I don't see duck shooters so it is simple really. Just go where you aren't there. That should improve your hit rate shit loads. There had to be five hundred Parries in the paddock down the road again tonight and not a shooter in sight.
