Thread: Time???

Public water too mate I moved to the BOP and needed to find somewhere to shoot F & G were worse than useless to deal with So I got in the wagon one Sunday and did some legwork myself shot here ever since took a couple of years to site the maimai in the best possie but it's worked well for the last four or five years. Done a lot of planting now flax, oak trees etc it's starting to look real good

Have your own little pest control system in place?

Not practical to do Toby it's a two hour drive from home but I certainly have thought about it - poison would be the only way

Shock horror yes I was wandering the river today Dropped my fishing gear and snuck upstream for a few pics of the birds

At least you have some ducks around dundee. I have seen a few in maize paddocks but the ones I shoot might not picked until june which is too late haha.

I been mucking around at one of home ponds today as the dam syphon had stopped again.

Thanks to Happy and the gadget he sent us I did some gps work and got the elevation right.

Bottom pond was 684ft above sea level

So changed too one of the higher ponds that had water which was 700ft asl


Changed the big blue float to a cuppla decoys but it was a lot of work shifting foot valves tieing decoys and turning valves on.

Top dam Some water at 700 feet asl

And hopefully tomorrow last fill up of syphon it should be running

Tap at the shed where we are dragging water from the pond is 640ASL so hopefully bit more pressure tomorrow

Good to go come the first weekend in May the Dundee!

"almost time for roast duck again cant wait" ....still got a couple of C box's of them in the freezer,I'm the only 1 here eats them.

Whacked some wholes to fit motion stakes in my old decoys last week, no water in the ponds so be shooting over paddocks .

Syphon is working good now.....................26 days to go

Looks like you are ready to rip into it Dundee

2 weeks before the season opens they'll be no-where to be found ,like every year.Must be bred into them or some thing.

Shit Dundee I thought you had got in early with the first pic in the above post. The realised I've seen some of those photos before.

We went down and did some work to the Mai Mai today, Pond looks well used and grain is getting cleaned up. Only problem is I've not seen anymore than 20 mallards on the piece of water in question. As for the rest of the river heaps of mallards spread around.
