ah the equaliser allways comes workingman
the hardest part is trying to figure whas wrong when you think your doing exactly what you did when you creamed them.

And then there are the hunter everybody knows one . Who just manage to be in the right place perfect every time . And get bag limit or close to it quite regular .

But do you see the birds or just told about it?

apart from bieng as cold as a well diggers arse its good to be in the south
then theres the 20 buks everytime you think about going some where other than handy.

didnt see any quail today but did jump a pair of mallards out of the rdr.
only shot the drake as that is my contribution to game management where possible.

shite i rotated the pics up the right way and they still came out rangi
red did a hell of a job finding the drake in some real rubbish on the opposite side of the rdr to where i thought it fell.
but between the fast flow freezing water and and blackberry logging type rubbish he came up trumps on the 2nd blind send.

Bloody mallards now don't even fly off the full ponds here. They must have the gamebird regulations under there wing.

be the same here next monday dundee be mallards and parries from arsehole to breakfeast

last weekend for the ducks here but really we still have plenty of options.
quail pheasants swans geese parries[ if i hunt west of state hwy 1 which i do].
must check the rdr tonight for hiders and see if a drake or 2 are on offer then the pond on the weekend.

give it heaps!

i spose if i was numberes orientated id consider this a bad season.
but since im not and ive got ducks in the freezer it aint.
personaly any season your alive for and can get out to enjoy is a plus and a good one.
the bonus of getting a few ducks and still having a month to concentrate on those little crested buggers is crackin.
no watchin the backwaters for ducks flushing but focused on the dog pointing and workin up quail.
hell could be the kick in the arse my shotgunning needs no bloody distracting mallards
the geese and swans are in a quail free zone so that confusion wont be present.
look out californians im comin and im focused
geese if you poke your sneaky arses out of mcbeans or rennies lookin for a feed you could be in trouble to.

A double on pukekos on my first hunt in New Zealand!

(Not today, last friday)

Saturday morning had us meeting up with the team leader nice and early...the area had been pretty well shot over but we managed three Paradise Ducks and a number of pigeons...the team leader's Labrador was the biggest Labrador I have ever seen...the ducks were well and truly over the intrusion of more harassment but it was a great day...
