@Tahr yes he’s a good lad. Just turned 7 last week. Heading for 6”5. Be good for carting venison in the near future

Got out last night for the last hour of the north Canterbury season, to finish off the boys school holidays , and a lone drake presented the only real chance which Arlo took with his .410, the bird splashed down but managed to pick him self up and stay off the water just long enough to make cover some 100+m away. The boy was pretty concerned he’d lost his bird but I was quietly confident the dog had a fix on him and no hiding place is a match for her nose so wasn’t surprised when she returned the dead bird to my hand.

Great end of an enjoyable season bring on 2022 see you out there!!

Low and behold a lone drake came in just as I was thinking of pulling pin and the boy brought him down , I saved the dog extra work with the finisher. Attachment 170758
Hoi sin duck wraps on the menu this week. ��

oh me neck

Well had to retire The Dude on Saturday now to old for the peg.
Got out for a rough shoot today.

so cool to be out gun in hand with the chance of a goose or parry .
litteraly 100,s of parries around but just not around us
saw maybe 100 geese in total but they maybe on the moon as its to warm windless and buggy for them at the mo/

there is a downside tho of having to associate with tacky semi auto shooters

Did the weekend up in Waipu chasing the Parrys. Got a good bag and some laughs with the brother and nephew.
This fella took a lovely headshot from the brother as he drifted overhead and actually bled on my face as he fell from the sky. Never had that before. Been hit by a falling bird but never rained on.

Wrong photo doh! Lucky I didn't put up something inappropriate

went to our pozzie for another goose /parrie hunt .
there were a few about but it seemed everyone had the same idea.
at least three other parties out and geese were scary as.
tho our sidekick got seven a few paddocks down.
parries high fast and not interested in decoying yet.
if anything the wheather tho cool and a bit windy wasn,t shitty enough.
give it a week or so of cold and the buggers will get hungry for more green grass.
then with a few more dekes out we shall pounce

Well with the travel ban finally lifted I might actually make it home for the first time in 25 years for opening morning looking at flights now!
