Thread: Game bird diary for all

Teri see where you are going and looks good!
But if you tuck the legs in as I suggested you don’t get that burnt look on the bone and it looks more Appetising to the eatter also not as dry as it’s tucked in!
Just my opinion

Try it in an oven bag . the skin is crispy but inside tender and moist. Doesn,t dry at all. Just spray with oil before you grill

All over for me and Bo.Will go back and collect empty shells,wads and decoys.50 birds all up for season.

Got 3 last night and went out again this morning. Another dozen between us. It was old school cold in Southland this am. Had to smash ice for decoys and for the dogs to retrieve. About -5.

Penultimate weekend was spent at in-laws on the coast the moons aligned and my eldest got a duck ( finally) and a puke , smiles say it all. the retired lab and the rest of the family got in on the action too when we jumped a couple of ponds and I bagged a couple Saturday arvo.
will get out next Saturday morning for the last time before his rugby as now he finally blooded the .410 properly he’s chomping at the bit 👍

go the mighty .410....rapped to see young fella is on the board.

went for wee wander with good mate this arvo...managed a pukeko and a parrie.... good wee walk ,wet to the knees but happy chappies.

Explored some new country today and picked up a couple so a good afternoon out

Got a few this afternoon. My 6 year olds hooked.

Another waterfowl season done and dusted. Didnt do as much as I usually do thru a season but had a reasonable last morning. Dog was perfect

Shouldn't be to hard bloody quail are everywhere now

Had another afternoon out today, mint day and good result.

Also bumped a sambar at one point, didnt get a look at him but then saw his print, must have been a big boy passed on his tracks!!

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.
