    Toby nailed this one under 10 metres, full choke!

    Next bird I pricked, it did a runner out the other side where it got the full choke treatment again! This one went 32 bars to Toby

    Brilliant but where has your smile gone Toby?
    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!

    I knew I had hit the drake too,cause I could see him crumble a bit as he flew behind us.

    The neighbour stopped me this morning and said there was a drake in front of there door this morning

    The dog was working after the first retrieve but didn't cross the boundary.We were sitting on the bales,another example of bloody steel shot.

    100 percent last night Woo Hoo!!!

    Back at the little puddle tonight at 1700hrs,only been shot at last night and tonight.

    The position of the dog and shooting position

    It was bloody easy blowing the duck chatter on the caller cause it was fricken cold 5 degree with a stiff southerly blowing from behind.

    One drake flew over the pine trees from behind our shooting position and a few short "quacks" from my caller turned Donald the drake back into range.

    The dog placed it on our firing position

    That was the only shot fired when Jess and I left for home after seeing lights go on at the neighbours,they were probably thinking dinners served again

    Stroll back too the bike covered in camo coats
