Thread: Mai Mai talk/advice/showing off

Evening everyone,

I'm in the process of doing up an old Mai Mai, unused (apart from shags) for 10+ yrs on Lake Waikare. All that's there is 6 posts in the water plus a side panel. I've got a rough design in mind but was wondering if anyone has an advice on configuration/setup. It's 2.7 x 1.3m so not very big. Plan is to build a floor and some side panels, and cover half with a corrugated iron roof so I can shelter when waiting for birds, then go out into the open to shoot. Birds here come from a few different directions I understand so no particular side I need to leave open more than another. Got heaps of Manuka I can use to hide the Mai Mai closer to the season.

Anyone got tips for a first time Mai Mai builder/amateur duck hunter trying to make a good setup? It would be great to see/hear about everyone's setup
