    Nice looking pond you have there @Bonecrusher like it when someone spends the time and effort to maintain the habitat.
    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.

    Awesome little evening hunt tonight, the birds were coming in thick and fast. Managed to bag 6 but could only retrieve 5, unfortunately my Lab Rocco is nursing some wounds so had to sit this one out.

    Evening of the 10/5/19 headed out to the big pond got there by 1730 hrs rigged up a loose decoy with hook and bait.Within a few minutes the decoy was swimming all over the pond creating good ripples. Three ducks committed and fell to the stealthy Akkar pump gun. The dog is that fast at the retrieve never got good pics.But I reckon I saw a record eel tonight!

    He's probably fast on the retrieve because of said record eel

    Summer grass
    Of stalwart warriors splendid dreams

    Went for a wander in Santoft with the family hoping for a Pheasant or some Quail. We did see one Pheasant but it was well out of range. Did manage to drop a Magpie with the 28 gauge though.
