    on elly I,l just need 3 lines and 3 weights 1 for each spreader instead of one per decoy or I,l run a ;line from the spreader to the shore

    Wait for it, wait for it .... there it is, first shot fired
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    out to ellesmere with a cobber to try a new maimai .beautiful fine morning ,though nippy as .cracker sunrise ,typically some cant help themselves 0620 first shot heard. birds were about and showed an interestin us but none within range of the single kill shot .
    I did have a wee chuckle though .heard a mob of canadas farting about noisy buggers so out comes the electronic goose callsx2 (first time live test)-wellbugger me I got uo someones nose cause i copped a volley of goose abuse-tried it again to see if mr shit on the liver was game to front my decoys-obviously it was like the national party caucus-a new leader and two mates cackled back at me.great fun.what wasnt so funny was mates boat -bloody outboard has just been serviced after plying up ,but it started splutteringand farting again under load ,so we terminated outing early -return to boat shop this week!!
    Just on blower to GSPF/c404 whoare headed out to the lake as i type this -heres to hoping boys.
    to all who bagged ducks bloody well done -to those of us ewho didnt -still days to come .
    to adern &co -at least ya didnt take our duckshooting off us ya misery guts!!

    Heavy frost at home this morning, Been good numbers on my pond even last night setting up 50 plus ducks took flight. Been feeding since lock down but clear skys didnt help. Shit loads of teal coming in. About time they got added to the license as a game bird. Been at least 60 ducks along the creek/river today only a handful. Ended up with 5 ducks between me and the boy.
    Pulled pin at 8:30.
    I had to go out on the farm and the ponds that are holding water had the odd duck not any with big numbers.
    Try again tonight
    .
