Thread: Game bird diary for all

Not been shooting much but pretty wrapped with this pair of parries taken as 1-1

Then next afternoon a nice rooster that Shadow flushed out of a patch of willows on the way for the evening shot

Another clean shot over head rocket, 36gr steel #3's are very effective at 30' DOA

Saw two ducks fly into the green pond while shifting stock.Came home and got my dog and went up there blew them away.
The drake landed in the pond where the clearing is. Miss Jess launched her self from the bank almost onto the drake.
The hen landed in the grass in the back right.

Nice work ,looks in need of a neck stretch.
DJ on way & late B/d pressie

The little fella does it again...

Home early yesterday arvo so I thought I'd strike while the iron is hot and ran Baz while he is on form. Didn't disappoint...



Excuse the bedraggled looking birds. They are the first I've allowed him to retrieve, as they were nice easy ones in the clear where he could mark the fall and I could steady him if need be. Pretty amateurish retrieves to be fair, but being his first hot retrieves I'm happy and can only improve. Hopefully the next ones aren't drowned in slobber like these

Sorry Tim Allen I should have put this is the brace yourself thread

Hey What happens on tour stays on tour

Cheers for the callers @Chris

Haven't missed a night getting out there yet since the season began

Tonight me and dog went to big pond, one lonesome swan was there on our approach.

Southerly blowing as we approached from the South side and all bird hunters will know ducks (birds) will take off into the wind.

We walked half way down the pond as it made its departure and had to wait for it to clear my decoys before letting wrip.

Downed the bugger


No ducks came in but it sounded like WW3 WAS happening at the river.
On our way home I tryed to capture the dog retrieving it across our bridge over the creek.She fell in once but recovered and I only captured these 3 pics.

going on an invited hunt on saturday morning high hopes and warm gear a must
pickin minus 1 or 2 will be about right

Never seen a bird tonight. Ground was frozen when I left

great morning on a irri pond patchy with bouts of extreme birdiness fn cold in places to.
nice bit of work from the invitors springer and great fun allround.
10 taken and all in good nick.

Blank tonight,dead calm no birds heard or seen

3 mallards for 3 shots and then another 5 shots for a Parrie. the parries where a lot higher and I thought I had missed or only slightly wounded it . But I ended recovering it 15mins later and some 300 mtrs away. A totally enjoyable ending to the season for ducks
