    50km round trip,we will be back.Saw one there yesterday without Bo and have seen four while fishing previously.
    Very rare to see them around here,just want one to spread watties on and one to put on the wall.Bo and I will keep trying.
    This was before the season started.

    I have watched Pukes destroy ducks nests and catch and eat the ducklings. One foot on their body and pulling them apart. They will hunt and hunt untill they have gottten them all.
    I wish i had videoed it for the greenies.... it was in a reserve too, so no bangy bang stick allowed.
