    Certainly get the idea even though the dog looks like it's hangin' on.

    i dont hunt pheasants in freezing pissing down conditions.
    its murder on the dogs scenting and i dont believe they get about much anyway under those conditions.
    ducks were on the agenda this morning and they didnt play the game either.

    Was a good "opening day" two birds in the bag, BUT two hunters, just out of Christchurch so away from home about 1345 and back home by 1700, and that is having to travel right across town. Ideal spot for them as plenty of food. And more birds there. Same place again today spotted on Rooster, but they had been disturbed, so no more sorry to say - now for the cooking. Just eating the second lot of wild duck pâté, and a wild duck Terrine in the fridge, will try tomorrow evening.

    My dog struggled in the wet . he put up one hen at about 3 inches from his nose and to be honest he never smelt it and had no time to put brakes on . He almost caught it ?. That would have been interesting as fish and game where out in force .

    Saturday afternoon the roosters were making a heap of noise in the sunshine. My dog wasn't listening so left him in the ute. Managed to stalk up on once that was responding to calls, he was on the edge of some deep blackberry. Got right on top of him with a closed gun and when he flushed I just couldn't get a good line on him before he got to the pine trees.

    Saw his landing and then ran. Couldn't find that one again.

    Heard another about 10 minutes, got close to him and he replied to toots on the caller, but then went quiet. I looked pretty well in the bush and cover to flush him, but could find him. must have walked off.

    After this one, the fog rounded in and they stopped making noise and with the dog not playing well, it's near impossible to find them productively. The conditions were great on Saturday, patchy rain and sunny spells. They need the sun to dry out and warm up again.

    Saw two on Sunday morning while driving to the pistol club on the road side. Didn't got out looking on Sunday for birds.

    I agree , but when you have 6 guys walking I front of you in a line sort of fucks your morning . Spoke to them on the way back and birds where all on the fringes .

    You wanna try working some cutover when a
    Fleet of yapping howling beagles comes charging through.
    15 of the buggers at least.
    Turned loose by the local beagle club to run
    Wild and chase what they will till they eventually
    Trickle back in.

    I didn't see any roosters in that spot amazingly enough

    Sounds like a plan mate; overdue for a catch up.
