And I shot a triple:D:D
Right back at work today after three full days shooting and a big clean up on the Tuesday. Opening was most enjoyable as always. To be fair the weather didnt really play ball. Saturday was great for sunbathing and hot as hell. Sunday was foggy morning and evening with no wind. Between three guns we managed 60 mallards and some parries for the Saturday / Sunday shoot.

On the Monday we shot our other pond . To be fair the action was fast and furious in the morning and petered out as the day went on. Still a great time was had.

After sitting there for two hours and seeing /shooting one mallard we were scratching our heads. Further investigation revealed empty lead cartridges around the pond of which none were ours :pissed off:

Further prompting of my mates father in law we found out the share milker had jump shot the pond with the neighbour on Friday night knowing full well we were coming Saturday. Not that he should be shooting there at all I might add. With this info on board we were straight around there:pissed off:
Had to go to Timaru in the afternoon to visit a family member in Hospital. With the in laws away( overseas for 3 weeks) I thought it would be rude not to "look after " his pond .
