    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.


    The dog was working hard





    I had planned to shoot agaon Tuesday but it was fair to say my garage was getting a bit high by Monday night and the birds needed dealing too. A hot nor wester hadnt helped



    Tuesday was spent cleaning up. The final total was 126 for three days. Good times and plenty of sausage to come.

    Until the next hunt

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded

    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Went out to the pond on Saturday Morning with very high hopes after reports of good numbers

    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



    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

    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 .



    A pair came in right on dark. One got out the other tasted good.
