We were not in a good spot for the weather conditions, clear blue skies and plenty of sky busters. Guys well out in the lake did very well though. I still need to figure out when to put the caller down and pick the gun up; should have had a few Canada's on the ground that I successfully called over in a couple of good mobs.
Same down here Gadgetman
Beaut day , if you were gardening.
Only 9 on the deck for Jake and I.
30 parries which was the limit for 3 of us and 10 ducks. Never really shot parries on the lake before so it was new out there. Pretty fun. Saw plenty of geese but nothing flew past in range. Pulled off some awesome shots too.
We had to deal with early bird shooters (20min before the legal time, still dark as) spooked off all our birds we had around us and they went right to sea which sucked but oh well
I feel sorry for the guys below us, shooting at birds 200m away lol they had no calls either. No clue
You got hose birds breasted out yet @Toby? I got a limit bag too, unfortunately it was the bottom end of the limit.
A goose and ten ducks, missed a few. Nice morning out on the river watching and listening to the action.

Kind of what you said cam but the dog got wet the way he's meant too !
That top picture is awesome Munsey :cool:
Actually they both are!
im workin on some pics :D
basicly a bloody long day for us the usual early shots and the clear day made it hard yakka.
i blew a couple of lollies on drakes[ one that i couldnt see in the fog] sat in the dekes for 10 minutes and flew when i decided on a soup break
.i could of shot the resident parrie pair bit glad i didnt.
would have been like eating hard rubber:yaeh am not durnk:
ended up with 3 for the morning[5 and a parrie for the pond] the night was a bust:O_O: highlight of the morning for me was taking the dog up to kotuku,s pozzie to see if he needed any recovered.while there i managed to call a nice drake almost up kotukus nose which he duly swatted.
dosy dog dog leapt off 5 foot bank with no thought of how he was gettin back up.
lucky the bosses arms aint any shorter and i hauled his bum up by the collar chain:D
My girl is eight this year and starting to notice it. The big swims across the cold river tire her out fast these days but she is still 90% of the reason I hunt ducks at all and does well on the shorter retrieves across willow lined creeks.
We ended up with 9 mallards but lost a few to hawks before we could get them, 4 parries and a goose. Full moon last night, could have shot a couple but waited for cleaner shots which didn't happen.

Attachment 36207Attachment 36208First season with a 7yr old dog I rehomed 9 months ago, he has never been duck shooting before, retrieved 4 ducks from the pond, spent 35min chasing a wounded diver in a bush lawyer choked back water until he got it and found others on the ground but would not bring those ones back, overall I am pleased can only get better from here.
