Arrived in the Far Nth on Saturday for the last week of school holidays and went for a recky of my upland grounds, spent 1/2 hr driving the forestry roads checking on what areas would be suitable to run the dog on and seen 10 cock birds from the road. Seen 2 cock birds on the track to my dried up duck pond across from my house and heard atleast 2 calling from the pond im shooting opening.
There was a dead Rooster on the Penrose interchange yesterday.
And before you ask, no there was too much traffic for me to grab it:ORLY:
Papamoa beach road is overflowing with fezzies as usual :D
i seen 2 last night. One lost its nerve 2 ft from the dog on point and buggered off at a great rate of knots, so did the dog thru a barbed wire fence :( looked like it might have been a trip to the vet but luckily not. seen a boy and girl pheasant tonight too. Pity all were in places where you cant shoot :(
A lot of juveniles here, must have been late hatchings
Seen a couple of cock birds that have just started to colour up in the forest too.Quote:
