Took a wander today ... heaps of 'traffic' ... oh well, Turki got another walk ...

On our afternoon outing down one of the fine rivers today, I took this foto ... one of my father's favourite poems was about Crusoe ... he only ever recited one line and it went like this, particularly if we were getting close to a hut and saw footprints heading in the same direction ... poor Crusoe saw with fear struck eyes, the footprint on the shore ...



anyway, back to serious matters, youngster did a smashing point, I took her forward to flush ... HEN AWAY ... love it when it all starts to gel for the young ones ...

Dodged the rain yesterday for an armed walk to stretch the legs and stumbled into this fulla

Up at big pond tonight,downed one but had no dog,this one fed the eels.Just on dark it was getting dragged all around the pond.

Finally got the young fella a drake for the season.This is the young bloke that I refereed for his FAL and has been out on multiple ocasions with me.Tonight paid off.Bird breasted and he was happy as a pig in mud,as he did fall a metre deep for the retrieve.

All over for another year
Got one here this morning and dropped an evening drake at another location.Worst season ever only 14 birds down.But did have the enjoyment of introducing a new FAL holder too the sport and he shot two so licence was $93 which means it was $46.50 a bird for him without expenses.

Only shots were emptying the mags at the night. Must be slackers in our district.

Had a spare hour this afternoon

lookin very promising for tomorrow avo southerly front on the way

The kids, pup and I went scouting for some ducks to chase later in the week as the weather here today was mint.

We found a raft of around 200 birds which will take a bit of nutting out on how best to hunt them and we plan to get into them in a few days.
Scouting mish successful.

Was mucking around at home close to dark and decided to head out to the Bro in laws farm as there were a few geese flying around last time I was home from work.

They are usually moving between 6 and 6:15 pm. Got setup in a wee hole around 5:30 but idn't hear a honk for over an hour. Passed up shooting at half a dozen easy ducks while waiting for the flight. Nothing moving so I head back to the truck around 6:30, unload the gun and put it away. I noticed some rabbits on my drive in so grabbed the thermal and .22 and went for a quick look handy to the truck. I got round 50m from the truck when I heard a few honks coming right at me. Around 20 geese flew 10 yards above me on the way to their paddock and I was standing there with no bloody shotgun.😆

Decided it was not my night so headed home. Will give them another go tomorrow nite and not give up so early.

Thermal and the 22 would make short work of em and no pesky pellets to dig out
