    Quietest ODM I have ever experienced...dog picked up one pheasant scent bed (bird well gone) only in the four hours up the river...only birds we saw were fantails and a group of very nervous parries, mostly juveniles...didnt see a human either, its usually like Central Station...no guys duckshooting on that area on the river like last year...invited to go to a night pond today so see if I can do better on the ducks!!! At least the dog is a happy dog! Oh well, there is tomorrow!

    Better luck on the ducks EeeBees.
    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

    Typed a reply 5 times and my pc shat its pants... hope this time it works.

    Yea I went out both days. Was really hot , never the less we ran all day yesterday and about 8-12 today. can't feel my legs now... Numbers apparently are down significantly according to the locals here, it was flooded with hunters but many unhappy faces, empty handed...
    The dog did his part, ran his soul out so we bagged a rooster... he really made my day...
    here is one for the wall...

    Pond shooting done for the weekend, off to jump shoot a few others and the river.

    I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
