Thread: Game bird diary for all

Finally had a chance to go for a decent pheasant and was great day out.

One bird was a real great effort by the dog, i only slightly clipped it and glided down a couple hundred meters away, went over and worked area till picked up scent, we followed it and I spotted it running over dune about 100m in front of us, but by the time got there dog still had to track it about another 200m before finally caught up, could run well but not but got there in end

The cat was a feisty one and by the yelps from dog gave some of it's own back before I could get there and help finish it

Kotuku my son just sold 9 lab pups fur $1000 each witin 24hours of listing them.

That pissed off look from Bo when all that came in were teal. Training has worked wonders on this young dog,no leash required he will
just plonk his black ass next to me and watch and listen till a command is given.He even stayed dry tonight.

mighty ,bloody mighty is all i can say .from when you first showed him on here as a pu ptill now hes one top gun.happy hunting to you all.

Went out past two evenings seen a couple of pairs but no birds in range.
@dannyb how do you rate that Churchill shotty, does it come with shims?

So far so good comes with a good selection of chokes but no shims, luckily it fits me pretty well, but wouldn't be hard to make shims if need be.
my only criticism would be the recoil pad is a bit hard, I'm going to fit a decent limbsaver, other than that I'm pretty pleased with it have run a slab through it so far and haven't had a single issue.
3" chamber, 5+1 capacity, cerekoted and much lighter than my old faithful winny. I could've done a lot worse

Sunday.
2 roosters, a pook and a hat full of mushrooms. Living the good life.

Is the one on the left a lab/pointer cross?nice looking dogs,I miss my old pointer.

Just some pea cocks. Never tried eating them so we'll see how they go

Ram"Bo" ready to go!

No, it is a proper DK (GSP) - her mum was brought in pregnant from Germany by a guy near Te Awamutu. R93 has a litter-mate.

Shifted my three decoys down stream.
Dropped a swan it needed its neck broken.

Parries have a habit of sitting in flat paddocks and no way to stalk.

Managed one.

Down at the river again tonight landed a trout while waiting for the gamebirds.

One swan came straight in at my decoys.

Had my headlamp on charge down one end of the house when Bo came wandering up with it in his gob,he pulled it straight out of the socket.

Evening shoot on one of our ponds tonight with Mr Four. Never shot this pond before, we started feeding it last week to give the boys something to kill a bit of time each day. Bit quiet early on, but once twilight set in a few birds decoyed easily. 8 in about 10 minutes. Little fella was stoked.

Had a good day . Up early and by 9am had 4 parries and a mallard drake (banded).
Went out again at 3.30pm. Luckliy scored a double of canadas, another mallard drake and a double of parries. Young dog Thor really staring to sort himself out now. Hunted down one of the geese which winged and challenged him in the stream and a great hunt through dense deeply flooded willow and blackberry for nearly an hour to hunt and retrieve a winged parry. So young dog had 10 for the day and sound asleep now; sleeping the sleep of the just

Set up on this top pond today.

Ready for the night shoot had teal landing and buzzing the sky giving the dog great dicipline.

A pair of mallards came in.
