    June 22 shortest day hunt

    I had a mate come down especially from the north island for this weekend. Even though the weather was extreme I could not back out of it.
    We layered up and hit the pond.It was certainly the coldest wettest day I can remember. We shot all day - arriving at 6 am and leaving at 6:30pm. It didn't help that the mai mai had 2 foot of freezing slush on the floor. With constant rain, sleet and snow flurries the water table kept rising. It was actually a good way to warm up every hour or so

    Still the ducks came . Not many got out once they committed

    Got home just in time for a shower and the footy - a few shy of two limits

    Good day

    We do have to ask ourselves "why" sometimes, but with a result like that...... great day I'd say.
