Thread: Game bird diary for all

So a couple years ago I put up a nesting box. Nothing the first year as we stuck up at the wrong time being to late in the season so the ducks didn’t get used to it.
But this year we redid the hey. The wife said that she had seen a duck go in before we went to Stewart Island. So our fingers were crossed.
We happened to both be home the other day and the wife starts shouting come here quick! So I walk on out.
Dudes like
I can fly.....shit no I can’t
can’t wait for duck shooting
still more!
they think there Pirates
all out 12 of them.
Good to see the eggs survive as no rats, hedgehogs and crows etc can get to them.

These are very easy to make and maintain if anyone is interested?

Couple quail Sat morning very early but wished I had taken my rifle. Saw two seperate pigs both less than 100m away. Fired at one boar but then discovered I had shoved a buckshot in instead of a solid in my rush to unload and reload. Buckshot not much use at about 70 m.

Only a Puleko tonight

Soup. 😬

Another blank night but,windy no shots fired.

Bo not impressed but stayed alert all evening on the hope chance of a retrieve.

Dog and I haven't missed a night yet.

First for the season.

Dundee......maybe???? try plucking breast right out before removing it,that way you get the yummy fatty bit under the skin with breast,cube up coat and quick fry.... we did a heap of salamis years back and the fatty skin bits kept it moist,absolutely smashingly good.
