Thread: Not Happy

There's obviously big savings to be made by being a better shot.
Nathan, there might even be a cost benefit in taking shooting lessons.

I got my slab, $160

$91 for a month season here. 6 duck limit

Always look at the bright side though, I might actually be able limit out this year haha

I'd rather a 2 month seson with a lower limit just so I have more time to stalk the rivers with my dog or jump shoot ponds with my mates and stuff but oh well

You will now you said that !

I always do VC. The best option for you if you want too try trout fishing is get a winter licence from 1st April,cheaper than whole season but like someone said check that the rivers in your area aren't closed over winter.

The Manawatu where I fish is open season.

$92 is cheap for three months of ducks, two summer months of parries and another two months of swans. It's also the minor expense compared to ammo, guns, petrol, duck food and bacon and egg pie. $450 is less than I would spend on a week long fly in trip deer hunting.

As well as the right to hunt ducks $92 also buys you the right to complain about how your money gets spent on trout...

You don't need a licence if you shoot on your own land. Owner occupier allows the owner and one other (wife, son, daughter) who must also live on the land to hunt with no licence. Obviously if you shoot off your land then normal licence rules apply.

I d still pay if it was double its just one of those things ...

The below I,m not that ecstatic about. That is the mothership mai mai and that pond has not been empty in 20+ years according to farm owners.
Water in center when full = 8 ft deep. Send some rain please !!!

Won't need many decoys then ! .

Do a rain dance?

That's certainly a sad sight Happy! We've had 30mm of rain so far this week in my part of the Waikato, and more forecast for tomorrow, but we're going to need alot more than that! The larger ponds and Lakes with good permanent water are holding alot of birds at the moment and they're getting stuck into chopped maize being fed out and chicory paddocks.

isnt help on the way later this week happy hope it helps .
hows the stock water and reservoirs maybe a hose might need to be run

Fill it up with maize and use layout blinds on the floor of the pond ??

I reckon it may be ok. If the Kaimais get rain we ll be away Mate tells me the Waihou River is holding more ducks that hes ever seen on it.

We watched probably 200 come down to his pond for a feed earlier this week ..
