    Opening week-rather good

    Here's a brief summary of Opening week

    Opening Day- New spot just on side of river, not fed but got limit by 8am, never even got limit before on opening!


    Dog worked great, some hard retrieves on lively ducks, esp when I hit 2 with 1 shot which left one rather lively in the willows


    Sunday
    Shot a few more ducks in Morning, headed to forests in arvo for pheasant, missed an easy one, then mate clipped a high one which locked wings and glided for 400m (roughly, it was a bloody long way), then Dog managed to find it! I was stoked with that find!!


    Then had to work till Wed, on thurs headed to a mates Maimai on Lake Wairarapa for when the storm hit, but only got 1 but had a few more stuffed up opportunities

    Friday- Rangitikei- 2 Pheasants within 200m, again stoked


    Saturday- Hit the forest for pheasants, hunted hard for most of day with no luck, then on circuit back to car picked up 2 cocks-again stoked!!


    So pretty happy with how the week went
