Went out on Saturday morning for my first shot since queens birthday weekend. Have been rather busy with the new arrival in the house. As it turned out on Friday night someone was screaming the house down so I gave up trying to sleep at 4 am and cooked some bacon and eggs. Was in the mai mai at 6 am having a cup of tea enjoying the peace and quiet. My two mates arrived at 6;40 am and we got a few decoys out.
The gravel pit we shoot is about 140m long by 20 wide. We have three mai mais down the length of it.
The shooting was good with mallards decoying in at all points of the compass. I shot til 9:00am and pulled pin. The other two boys gave it til lunchtime . I think the final tally was 32 mallards and two parries. Good for late in the season.
