Yeah sorry about that I didn't even know till I read the local rag and it said 3 shell limit for "the Rodney district" but it actually meant Auckland/Waikato region. Got it all sorted anyway, ready to go blasting!
I was talking to some other guys at the Warkworth H&F and some of them were completely unaware of this rule. Rule sucks, but what can ya do.
Shit it is looking good at the park:D:yaeh am not durnk:

All good to go Dundee. If you camo your face and hands don't make the rookie mistake that would have got you a kick in the arse from your platoon sergeant.
Eating the crayons?Quote:

Nah VC the rookie mistake for a soldier putting camo on for the first time is to forget to cam up the back of your neck. Sticks out like a big white beacon when they are walking away from you (makes a nice target).Quote:

Been and done the mai mai today. Sorted the decoys out. Going to be shooting with my dad and granddad. A bunch of things I'd change but you know how it is. Young buck can tell the old dog new tricks :) Shooting over 15 decoys when theres 50 all up in the shed between us (shooting on a big lake btw) Oh well we'll see how it goes
Enjoy Toby three generations. You are luckier than you know. Good luck and go hard out !!Quote:

About 30 ducks took off. Looks like cattle have been in again.Volt tester read 6.6kv so we didn't go any further,that should keep the cattle out.
I have a small irragation pond next to my house, there is 5 white geese living there at the moment. Is it worth having a go at shooting it? Never been shot before, you get the odd duck come and go. Would the geese scare them off? Also being close to the house (100m away). Keen to have a crack, maybe get a few decoys and a feeder, will just get one of them portable blinds?
my pond is 50m away from my house and it shoots no worse then the rest of the ponds. trying to keep my young fella quiet when playing outside the week leading up to duck shooting is the hard bit.
Some of the best ponds I've ever shot was 40 m from a house and it made no difference. Another 80m from the cow shed.
All my prep was done in Jan /feb. feeders are out now. Just stay away until opening morning. Put the ducks off quietly at 6:15 , get the decoys out in the dark then wait.
Oh and stay away in the meantime.
Just been over to big pond and dumped 25kg of oats around the edge.Haven't been there since last season good to see the bridge still in tact.Attachment 86605Attachment 86606Attachment 86607
Pond check yesterday avo, last minute tidy up and drop off last of our grain. Looking good. Only about 50 ducks on it when we went there yesterday...most years there are a lot more. Word is duck numbers down here are back down to numbers similar to ‘14-15...which is interesting, they were a couple of our best years. Be interesting to see what happens this weekend. Starting to get excited.
