shot 10 pidgeons over my goose and parries shells so theyre there if nothing else..couldnt be arsed going to town for trap loads.
so used up a fair portion of duck ammo on them horrendous shot to kill ratio.
seen a few parries and mallards floating around so high hopes if low expectations for them .see what comes first light tommorow
geese should be around hopefuly the peas are the only game in town til the grain paddocks are cleared off.
plenty of grain done but bales still on the paddocks geese here dont like that fortunitly for me pea prospects

You welcome to borrow mine (dog) . Unfortunately don't think Im going to have time to get out .

cheers for the offer munsey but by the time i got his trust it,d be time to hand him back.
no sign of any geese ducks or parries this morning barely a quack certainly no honks
hope the culls havent been to drastic and thinned them right out.
if they dont show up mid next week i,l start panicking or head for the lake or both
still shot a few more pidgeons note to self 2 3/4 inch blackcloud lead 20 kicks like a bastard from a low chair at odd angles
further note glad no honkers turned up[almost] so i could try the 3inch bc steel 2,s from said chair

pea hay bailed exposing a lot more peas under the raked rows
now just holding out for something more substantial than pidgeons to notice the bounty.
with one mallard parry weekend left you could say im a little disheartened if unsurprised.
still i,l get geese when the grains open for business after the peas.

He only needs to see you point a shotgun skyward , to earn his trust.

cheers but iv,e gotta get my own.
with my luck borrowing your dog would follow the age old rule.
''dont lend you car dog or girlfriend they all come back f.ck.d''
i certainly thought about it tho and thanks again.
hunting with out a dog is like having one arm tied behind your back but you do get a lot more excercise

Seen a heap of mallards on a crop this morning,thats only half of them. They were spread over the entire width of the paddock.

Yeh there were a shitload ofParries in a paddock just down the road when I was coming home.

just been up trying to pot a bunny or 3 while i was there noticed a steady flow of birds coming out of the river?
geese thinks i but no i drive over to see at least 700 ducks buzzing a stubble paddock across the road from my bunny spot.
500 odd left to go back to the river but 200 hung around feeding jumping up doing a loop or two and re alighting again.\

in the typical stakes my grain paddocks not a million miles from them but will they find it before the last day of the summer season tommorrow ??
im not gonna hold my breath the only good thing is the geese shouldnt be far behind the ducks

'' WHERE HAVE ALL THE HONKERS GONE ''
''LONG TIME PASSING'
first year in 5 0r 6 ive seen the ducks hitting the stubble before the canadas are here hoeing into the peas.
to late for the csi summer season for me bet they,l be all over my paddocks now bloody ducks .

Yep, that's where these lot decided to breed this year. Believe me they made stalking in on Chamois very difficult!
There were a few hundred up there!
