Thread: Game bird diary for all

One last go last night with whole family in tow after clearing the estuary traps. The youngest had a giggle to see what goes on.
Low and behold the boy gets his first green head, which he’s been going on about since may!

All business

The sun sets on another season...... until next year fellas.

Went for a quick walk today and picked up a nice rooster, big old bird with 35 bars. But the best part was the pups first retrieved and he brought it right to me, so was stoked with that

He was pretty happy to get it and didn't actually chew it up too much

Well, two more sleeps then hope for the best. Limit is only 6 ducks in Reporoa this season and there ate not many birds evident. This has not bee helped by Contact Energy's mass spraying and wipeout of the habitat in one of the major wildfowl breeding wetlands on Deep Creek. (Done under rc from Waikato Tegional council without consultation with DoC, Nz F&G or local hunters who have been develiping ponds there for decades.
Anyway, I set my decoys and both Thor and I hope a few ducks .igrate our way opening weekend.


Good luck everybody

lovely looking spot. best of luck.lets hope for a bit wilder weather than in the photos.
fed wee farm pond again tonight no mallards,just the same pair of parries.....if they have managed to eat 15liter bucket of grain in four days alone...they shouldnt be able to lift fat arses off ground...fed out another 30 liters worth today.

Forecast here is fine clear and light sw. May need longer barrels. Using 12ga bismuth this year. Gonna miss my 20 & 28 gauge guns.

looks like there is SOME 20 ga ammunition around.....
Im going to sit on a small pond...been 20 years on big water so its going to be weird.... put most of my ammunition away and have changed chokes to something more open....
