Very vid

She is obviously getting slow in her old age

Takes forever at that pace haha

First 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.

looks a lot like mine red with a woundie lost yesterday at another pond.[img][/img]

Wow. There's some birds in your second picture @Toby. I thought we were doing OK to get a dozen in one go.

I think our problem was perhaps our superb hit rate on ducks that flew past.......and the fact that shotguns don't reach 200meters

Keep on pumping boss until it don't go bang no more. Those birds needed some learning.

Both the old man and I got first up doubles and then the tap was turned off.

You should off taken fly spray for that swarm of bees Toby

Great pics everyone,just sorting through mine now.

Fog was like pea soup today ,ducks didn't move until after lunch . Was a good day with the dog earning his keep again

a bloody great weekend ,alas the ducks didnt arrive in hordes as we'd hoped and seen on this pond over recent times ,but a least a few did and the talley was 9 birds amongst four .shooting mate and i got three .personally Im happy -I used c404s o/ubaikal in the morning session as Im aware of mypast tendency to rely on the large mag of the s/a escort escort ,so vowed that discipline was the byword this year.three shots -2euthanisers and a smackdown joint killerwas my ammo consumption. Highly satisfying
the weather gods at rakaia sent us fine weather and no cloud saturday so ducks and geese decided 12,000'was a good altitude to play spot the duckshooter .
the ones that got curioser-nuff said. Interesting -these were mostly young birds -with fresh grain in their crops- not bad eating im told.
saturday arvo we saw a couple way out of range but othewrwise deadly quiet. sunday GSPF&myself did a midmorning scoot and shoot to our pond and as the phot shows we checked out Rs where red the dog again proved his mettle by finding a lost bugger in the shitty gorse broomy&willow of the riverbed.
now some thanks -GSPF&family for hosting us -cracker tucker mighty beers rums &laughs on friday night ,and the rugby saturday ,where a couple of rampant hurricanes men got the golden opportunity to feed this crusaders man his beans.mind you again I bloody enjoyed it. thanks guys from us all.
to the team-great company ,long may it continue.
KC has got some other photos of me GSPFso will chat to my daughter about getting them on here.
