    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.

    Well thats 2014 done and dusted.Mate and I shot til 11:30 am this morning and 46 mallards got a trip back to town. Most were drakes as
    we were trying to be selective.

    In summary a bloody good season. Certainly our best to date. Even with that soon to be unemployed share milker ruining one pond mid season
    it all ended well.
    According to my records we ( being my two main hunting buddies and I )Nailed 430 mallards between us and 14 Paradise ducks. It would be fair to say our hunting has been a lot more selective this year. A good example would be packing up and leaving once 50 birds was hit on quite a few occasions. We carefully managed our ponds ( apart from the dickhead incident ) and got good results .
    Will be a long 9 months until 2015.

    Cheers and thanks for reading.
