Thread: Riverbed Ducks - Dos and Don’ts

be plurry careful about firing zone,shooting over treetops COULD see shot falling somewhere it shouldnt...google earth is your friend,do your homework before setting out.
getting dropped off at roadend and walking down to another where car is waiting works well.I spend many afternoons doing this on Ashburton river...didnt matter how many of few shots were fired,the walk itself is reward....a hare for the dog to eat...or a duck for me..both were great...the day I managed a canada goose I thought I was king of the world.
sitting out in middle of riverbed in evening and watching sun go down can be oh so good for the soul.....if harvesters have been working nearby,maize,peas,grain....it can be very productive if you just happen to be on flight line or on edge of flight circuit.
getting to know cocky where you park vehicle is good idea and can lead to better access...they now KNOW why the red corrolla is parked down by the cow paddock,and KNOW the shots arent into the barn...I flick a txt to cockie beside where I go 6-7-10 times a year,have done so for 6 years now. he gets parries moved off his riverside paddocks...I get mallards fat on maize silage....the dog gets zapped by fence!!!! man she hates them.
