About LinkBacksFinally got out for a hunt, first since opening. Having man flu all last week and weekend meant I didn't want to risk being up early, out late and wet and cold.
Anyway, we chose to do an evening shoot on our pond, rocked up and to our surprise put off over 100 mallards! Not expected!
Only 6 came back and came home, but also managed 8 parries and two spoonies. What was looking to be a pretty average evening shoot worked out well, with all of these birds being shot in the last 20mins of shooting light.
Was keen to get the pair of spoonies mounted but one was pretty f**ked up.

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

Hens havent been on the shootables list for years and that is not likely to change for a long long time...unless you are shooting driven game. Originally Posted by Toby
