Thread: Game bird diary for all

Went for a wander with my girl dog ... she worked like a demon ... only saw a fantail ... then on the road home, there was a melanistic rooster with a hen ...

Up at the big pond tonight my mate an I are using pump guns we got 4 shots off before our turk guns jammed.

Any way we landed a couple of fat drakes for our effort.



First one fell on the land.

Next one landed in the pond and got munched by eels before we could retrieve it


Glad we never took the new pups up there.We could see eels rising right up till dark.

@Dundee

Buggered if I'd be retrieving anything out of that dam too.

A man might fall over and quickly become eel bait.

I baited some decoys again this this year and the buggers haven't surfaced,must be some big bastards in there now!

The boy walked on water the other night. Was picking up a duck and felt something pulling against him. Looked down, screamed like a stuck pig, and hightailed it out of there. Reckoned it was the size of his leg. I've had the odd big one barking it me before on the pond

true deepen the pond to Dundee.
but my uncle worked on that more the better theory when blowing a hole for the pump intake in his local creek.
a fullish plug instead of half was used and when we retreated 50 metres away to await developments.
we received a rather wet reply as Christ knows how many gallons of water were propelled skywards and what goes up must come down .
thankfully uncle bill was the most soaked but his enthusiasm for gelly was never diminished.

I saw a stump go cartwheeling across the paddock because .... it just need some extra oomph!

Luckily we were observing from a safe distance on top of a small hill.

Trifecta with Mack this afternoon and just missed out on a pheasant, he flushed four I got shot in the air but no result
He is developing real well first retrieve on a swan big bird for an adolescent.
Mallard was a drop in the drain find me if you can he was up to the task.
He pulled up a winged pukeko too

Picked up a pie & a drink for lunch from the Z station on the way out, it must have slipped off the front seat said sooty sitting in the back of the double cab with the rear seat up. He managed some how to get the bag containing pie through to his compartment with his paw I thought what's he up to managed to save it before said black pie muncher had done any damage

Anyone notice that @Rushy gave me a like on lasts nights post? Your fat fingers must be slipping Rushy as you've only dealt two likes.

Scored these today what a bargain.

Biffed 6 in the green pond and another 6 here

Nothing came in tonight so will take the 6 from here up to the big pond tomorrow if the cattle aren't in the pond paddock.

Went out and had a shot with an old mate on his pond. Pulled up and it was black with birds. Pushed them off and waited, and waited, and waited. Only ones that came back was a pair of spoonies. They sounded like jets coming in, wings roaring, but landed to far out. They're a great looking bird, and deserved to live another day anyway.
