@PerazziSC3 seen dachshund in action in France. They use them to track wounded boar and deer. Must say they have some nose on them and balls those boar are not small. Recon it will find them fine retrieving them himmmm

We have a resident dab chick up at the big pond @Sideshow it really keeps the dogs on the alert with the ripples and diving then popping up somewhere else.They are cool little birds to watch.

Saw a sign up Rotorua way years ago and it said Dab chick capital of NZ.
Managed to get back home from work and up at the green pond tonight by 530pm two hit the deck but when the dog went to retrieve the first one it decided its engine will restart and buggered off
Only one bird came home tonight the oats that have been fed certainly helped.

Saturday, 2 mallard , 3 parries , 3 black swan , 2 guns , was hard work on the open water and nice clear day , with most birds sitting safely in middle of lake by 8am , was a good day all the same with the young fellas (7) first opening morning he was wrapped

a couple of pics of the set up opening morning paarries on the right mallards to the left and front


it did cloud over after about an hours or so and blow a bit .
we had steady action for most of our tenure.
seemed to be a lot less parries action at the boggy creek end of elly this year but way more mallard chances than in the last 2 years.

A bit of duck porn for you....plate full of mallard breasts.

Mmmmm breasts

Back from the four day weekend limit bag both days, woke to Fog on Monday morning so rolled over and went back to sleep ;-)
Young dog went well 2nd season for him hard case mutt looks fully grown but still has a puppy brain
Back into work today have truckloads to catch up on :-)
Weather has been far from ideal something like 22*C at home not a breath of wind or a cloud in the sky long range has some duck shooting weather heading in for the weekend

Seen these today. Try to put them up but would have got one more then my limit. just been down to my pond to top up the feeder before the rain hits next week

Had a good shoot saturday with my 8 grey/mallards by 730. Sunday was a little quiet . Borrowed my neighbour's old escort semi. A few first, one shot two ducks, first time shooting my limit on opening morning and first time shooting a banded duck. (must be the only one released in gisborne by f&g)

Picturesque pond. Very nice place

From Saturday evening and sunday morning

If you are coming up short guys, try the square in Palmerston North. mallards everywhere.

Fishy is on the job for ya.

too hard to hit when they are on the side like that.

It is because the rotation of the earth down here is different.
