Thread: Game bird diary for all

Know that funny feeling I had that I wasn't going to school. Gut must know best cause I was down the river

Little brother on the way down in the boat says I don't want to go all the way to your spot lets just go here, I shouldn't haven't listened. Ducks galore in my spot there a boat floated down with some shooters they went past my spot we heard about 5-6 shots go off 100's flew out, most came back and shot right back 10min later.

We got one though, silly drake came along with 2 hens but we both nailed the drake, I was hoping he'd go for the hens cause they were next to each other but should have known he'd shoot the drake too.

Pip got it

I hope you gave your brother shit for that Toby.

He never heard the end of it rushy, lucky he sat about 2m away actually or he'd get a clip around the ears for each duck landing where I said they would haha

It is good to see that little brothers still get a smack in the lug hole from older brothers.

She done really well I'm quite happy with that. She has fetching done and sitting down waiting for the best part now doesn't whine when I call just need her to stop barking/whining in the ute or on the back

Our group of 4 came away with 5 mallards and 1 pheasant, I got zip but had a wicked time! It's much more challenging than I thought. Going back this weekend, hopefully will have something more exciting to report

Went out with me boy as he came home. Tried the river but the digger on the other side of the river started at 1730hrs and never stopped till 18005hrs

Farken noise pulling that tractor up

Any way we we were tonight

Both of mine did Kotuku. Luckily they remember the bash and don't get out of line too much. That said, I have had more scraps with my brothers across time than I have with all other comers.

What to say about opening weekend?

After I pulled the pin on a hunting trip with @Toby and @upnorth uplander I was at a loose end, so ended up shooting a spot near Opotiki with my ol' man. The spot was new to us both and while a lot of ducks were seen we weren't in the best place to capitalize on that. Still, a few (and I really mean only a few, terrible shooting!) were taken both mornings, and more importantly learned a lot about shooting this spot, as it could turn out to be productive when we make some adjustments to the abandoned maimai we were using.

Went out Sunday with the Old boys dog, Howie, who was the man of the match with a find on a unusually big covey of brownies. Produced them again on the second flush too.

Then took my new recruit out for her first time on Sunday arvo, to have her find this for me. Steady to wing and shot, retrieved on command to hand. Took it all in stride. Its nice to see it all come together:

Great work Pointer ! Good to get a bird over the new girl and I cant wait to do it myself with Failte before she gets a fat belly in some weeks .

Well done Pointer. I put one of them up at five yards myself this morning during my walk with the dog. Startled the hell out of me.
