    a dozen for us under windless bluebird conditions most we owed to the dogs blind retrieving ability
    as much as we tried, to keep them out of the shite and drop them on the water ,it seldom came off.
    but still a lot of fun and good feeds with some roast duck to come
    the rakaia river was cranking from the amount of shooting but not to many came our way[pond just off it]. sunday was same wheather and a few chances with 2 and a parrie taken
    we pulled out about one,ish sunday as we had apile of gear to get out.

    Look at the date of the post.... that was last year with 5 shooters....

    This year we had two shooters and got our limits both days (25 mallards and 5 parries each)

    You would be a bit of an idiot to post about shooting more than ypur limit...

    Here's how our opening weekend went. 15 mallards and 42 parries in total. Not as many as expected but still not bad either. Around 200 (mixture of both) lifted off when we arrived. And only parries come back during the day. Most birds were flying pretty high because of the lack of wind and real hard to pull in.
    We got enough to fill up some freezers
