    Took a couple German girls for a walk in the forest. Only one bird seen for 3hrs of walking. Need to find another section of forest with younger pines or cutover.

    I've been called a lot worse than rude.

    it would be nice if you could hook up with the bomb and get out for a hunt ,seems you two have similar method in play..always good to get out with someone else.

    Did a midweek hunt down towards Waitakaruru, we have hunted this farmers land for a few years and while we see hundreds if not thousands of birds heading to and from the firth, very few are low enough or display any interest on coming in to the field spread.
    Every year we tell ourselves we aren't going back and its just too much of a heartbreaker. This year was different, a patch of surface water had them committed in the final hour of shooting light resulting in 13x of the hardest won Mallards we've ever shot!

    Came home from our Northland trip and started getting stuck in around the Northern Waikato close to home
    We were rewarded for our efforts with some great hunts

    Shot some fish and game land close to home, wind direction was perfect most of the week so we did 3 hunts in here
    First shoot we got 9x Mallards, 1x Swan
    Second shoot we got 20x Mallards
    Third shoot we got 5x Mallards including this barnyard special we are getting mounted
