    Brilliant Dundee. Good on ya. Where were the boys?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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:
