    Right, got out of hospital last night so on a mission today which was a little hard with mum busy and dad at work. first was to go fishing but the bars blocked and the river is high as but has a try that was shit house walked home had a huge rest then went to my duck pond cried for a good 20min. nah I didnt but fucking crap as but did see these 2 pukekos and a wounded plover my uncle shot running around. also 2 parries got my decoys off the pond I left there last year and checked the maize which is good so later my plan is to get some crap to cover the mai-mai a little bit and then pick a bit of maize throw it on the mud and sit there tonight see if any come in. I know there are 2 around here some where.

    Ours bein a new pond and having no ducks breeding on it we found last couple of years if we call them in they ll come over for a look but stay just out of visibility and not come in to land.
    Ducks flying over in range but not shootable all the time. Hmmmmmmmmmm
    So we built skytower off end of mai mai.. We can go up there and sit and shot 360 degrees... Be interesting to see how that goes.
    Tower on left end of mai mai. We ll sit under camo nets and see if we can give them a curry up. Got views for literally miles now he he he .. 3 or more meters off the ground

    There is a short term business opportunity there Kotuku. Mobile bar and brasserie during opening weekend.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I can confirm that this is not quite viable at the moment. Both vehicles stuck.

    Still, set up a new maimai and tagged another abandoned one nearby as a backup. Think the old battle wagon is about twice as heavy now as it was when I went out this morning.

    No improvement Dundee. We drove the same route we walked last season. The water last season was keeping the fellas cool in the thigh waders, at the moment the track is basically dry. The sooner that bar gets set up, and the loos drained to the lake, the better.

    Thinking of building a couple of these. Plywood Boat, how to build a one sheet plywood boat GardenFork.TV - YouTube Could use them to drag/float the gear out then use them as layout blinds. Could do a camo paint job, or paint them grey and use black polythene as a cover so they look like water troughs.
