I'm off to America for 5 weeks (leaving on teh wifes bday) so trying to convince myself that this may not be the best season for a new shotgun as it may just be one fight too many:pacman: we all know what its like though and new seasons demand new toys so this is a thread for us to get excited about all the new fun bits and bobs that are going to get us massive hauls of ducks in the upcoming weeks
I tried but failed, on the upside I have a new Benelli in the safe!
Nothing new for me (except some fibre wad ammo for the pheasants) as I am going to Aussie for a holiday...brother is talking about taking me somewhere to try our luck on the Sambar...well, his actually...when I read the protocols for an international visitors permit to hunt I just yelled...so I will be tagging along with the camera...he said the permit for an interstate hunter (we hunt in Victoria, he from SA) is bad enough:sick:
The wife went to Nelson for the weekend today & I may have spent a few dollars on stuff I need this afternoon :D
Smith city have a sale on, got a tatonka gear bag $45off, Back country meals $2-50ea off
New Shotgun for me last season, trying to work on a PM11 this year.
Not refraining at all, brought a miroku of a gun club member. I have shot really well with it the last few months as opposed to my old AYA, so its money well spent.
I'm circling an M2:D But there is absolutely nothing wrong with either of my other two inertia's, that have never let me down and are still in great shape and would easily do a few more years.......:oh noes:
After seeing Hori last night he never put them M2 down, watch this space....
:D just need to track down a new one in left hand, seeing them advertised in the magazines doesnt seem to mean they actually have stock...Quote:

im trying not to spend to much this season as im building a new rifle , getting new gundog and quad bike .oh and just got new jacket. shit i better get a job.:XD:
got new benelli and 687 20g to blood this year..... trying to avoid looking at the multi coloured plastic pile that seems to grow each year as it's a hungry gutted hua that is never satisfied.
got a couple of new dogs coming so not much will be added to the heap this year............................. nek minnit that bloody hunting and fishing thing arrived in the post.
i buy something each season to add to my toys
will look at another tank sized net
1 doz full bodied mallard decoys
wifes given the green light
go go go
Your doing it wrong mate, remember its easy to ask for forgiveness than permsission. Thats my theory....Quote:

Kid due next month so no more toys for me for a while:TT TT:

Although Pip did get a sweet new Avery neoprene vest :cool:

I've had a new 12g two years ago, a 20g last year and this year I settled for a few slotted decoy bags from the states(Wistling Wings). However, I have a Dusky Sound fishing, diving and hunting trip in a couple of weeks.
Have we?Quote:
