Thread: Game bird diary for all

she' llbe up for a 20g for the eighth birthday ,then all hell breaks loose when dad gets out shot.great pics and bloody great to see kids enjoy themselves.

dundee -my lab x gives me the same look too when it comes to reading the riot act.something like " Ah f..khere he goes again throwin his toys outta the cot."
gave the big bastard a rark up the other night -all i got was a loud grunt then a fetid fart to follow. no ride in the truck to get the beer hurts though.

Bloody good rain last night the water supply is creeping up to the rim slowly.

Two flew off this morning and I didn't get close enough to get a shot off.

Got one (DRAKE) yes a drake on the approach to the puddle.



Brought a cuppla parrie silos from the big pond to this puddle as they were singin out last night




Night fell and another pair of mallards circled the pond or puddle

Dogs tail was whipping a storm,till it was pulled to a stop



The same pair came back a little later with the dog scanning the sky and tail still bagging a punch



Got 100 percent on the puddle tonight

That would be the bstd I scared on opening morning just down the coast a bit. It was probably a mallard before it swam in the Maketu estuary - then lost all it's colour. Those shits you had was not just the curry!!!!!!!!!

Been a bit slack on the pics lately, I promised myself I would record my season with photos this year, better get back onto it

This was the result of one mad day, out for a few hours, not a single find then come across them all having a korero on the river edge. We both missed all bar one!



Put this one up myself but couldn't get to him, went and got Patch and he pulled off a nice blind retrieve on the pricked bird, holed up in scrub on the other side of a flooded creek. Delivered to hand very much alive. My biggest rooster this season



Le piglet gets his first bird.
Took him out for a training run, he took scent and he went up onto a scrubby bank and locked up. Walked him in, bird lifts, good boy good boy. 5 seconds later, locks up again, road him in again, another bird lifts, nice big cock, bugger this - back to the truck for the gun. this was the third bird he found that day, and pigs first:
