    Brilliant EeeBees. Obviously Harry's 3D eye wear helped
    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

    Well done Harry and Eeebees

    The ducks are certainly preparing for next season.

    Last day
    Collected Harry and off we went on a round trip of 103k for absolutely nothing!! Adult dog did some really good work but to no avail. I had not been to The Place for a number of years and had been extolling its virtues to Harry on just how good the quail numbers were, or at least were. We arrived to the sound of family banter, vehicles, house dogs etc...so headed up the tributary for a look...dog covered alot of ground with no scents taking his fancy. So we went back to the ute and headed off the way we came and had a look at the river...again the dog did not find any scent of interest although Harry was rapt as I found and gave to him a duck call someone had dropped. Back home for a very late lunch and plans hatched for an afternoon wander.



    This time we took the bitch and walked and walked and walked along the stream...the dog did not get onto any strong scents except in an open area she winded a rabbit and Harry took it home. We heard a covey of quail, and another hatching of Mallard with their mother. Although no result we had another great day with me promising Harry I will not be breaking my foot next year!!

    Yes. I love watching the dogs working. It is also neat to accompany a young person and maybe pass on a few things to them...just as others did for us. I must say we were rapt to see so many waterfowl on the rivers...hopefully it bodes well.

    Missed a gift yesterday, bird came up from under my feet. Only bird I saw all day!
    Did it tough today, lots of shots, not a lot of birds to show for it... Enzos in the dog box as the saying goes, Pig is the golden boy. Farewell 2013 season, you've been a goodie

    Took Phillipgr out for a pheasant hunt on Saturday , we seen 6 roosters but only managed to get 1. I went back yesterday to the same pine block and never saw a thing. Seen birds everytime I have been out other than yesterday. Later 2013 gamebird season.

    Was nice to meet you UU. Pity about the birdless Sunday for you.Did you hear our wee skirmish?
