    I think it was six all up but not flash really
    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

    We gave up about 0900 and trudged the 1km back through the lake to the the vehicle. The birds were flying way too high for us, they seemed to decoy into a couple of massive spreads. Low numbers seemed to be the order of the day but it was encouraging to see a lot more birds even though they were out of reach. I ended up on zip, mate bagged one drake. Keeping an eye on the weather looking for a southerly change.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
