i know the feeling EeeBees where i cut firewood i have to crawl down the road untill the little sods decide to saunter off the track out of the road.
lots of pairs and small coveys but no tiny arse chicks seen yet?? except for some parries and mallards on ''the cement pond''

Macha and her owner went to NSW to shoot ducks on the rice last weekend ... the season runs from October to February ... the worse thing is that the snakes start moving when it gets hotter in the season ...

i aINT even seen the hindquarters of a shootable goose since feb last year let alone gnawed on ones breast.

had 15 geese circling the house this morning before heading out onto the river.
hopefuly ellesmere bound and i,l have a crack at them tuesday or wedsday before they start moulting.

those geese are still about the,re feeding quite close to town .
feels great to hear geese calling again and to call at them.
quite impressed with the ease of use of the power clucker.

This morning on our deck

12 days to parrie time with hopefuly a side order of geese.

Driving to work on Sunday, a pair of Callies crossed the road ... only three bumblebee chicks ... I wonder just how many may have been lost due to the rain and coolth!!!

thats exactly what my missus calls them to
there are heaps of pairs with little,uns
so tiny its no wonder they lose them probaly almost daily.
the long wet grass is aparticular killer where we go not to mention cats hawks.
the only thing i havent seen are the weasel clan but they must be there somewhere.
see how many there are when they creche up

right the 20 gauge steels finaly here.
managed to get 4 boxes each of the federal 20 gauge upland steel load with fs [flightstopper] pellets.
ita a 7/8s ounce load in 3,s and 4,s doing 1500 feet per second.
hopefuly theres some parries and geese to try it and the 2,s ive got on.
cos the 3 inch 28 gram 2,s were shite on parries.
for the life of me i dont get why the seasons so early [13th of jan] given f&g wont even do there moult counts untill the end of january.

found parries flying
bar murphy and huey sticking thier oars in.
our small limit of 5 each should be a piece of cake

That is hardly sporting of f&g to open the season so early ...
