Just heard the first shot on the Kaipara river and it is as dark as fuck still. Are you duck shooters (reluctant to call it hunting) using thermal imaging or night vision optics now?

Same here Rushy, also happens every year, pitch black and already blasting away. Pretty sure that's against the rules, must be a few rule breakers out there but who am I to judge eh
is the hammer just a cheap way to knock off un wanted calves?Quote:

Iv never been duck shooting but will do one day. Just need to find a plucker/cook first.....
Cheers man.
Ryan, being a bit older than you and experiencing killing calves in my younger days as I’ve said on this thread. Crushing their skulls with a piece of pipe was a very quick and humane way to kill them. It’s just not PC today and time has moved on, it looks barbarian, which people won’t stand for. In its day it was very efficient.Quote:

About half an hour after shootable light there were lots and lots of shots tho so I guess where I was at least people are playing by the rules.

This I'd the first opening in almost 30 yrs that I've missed... Fecken work and other shit...
Show me where I slandered the WHOLE duck shooting community Andrew? I think that a few blokes here got a bit offended where they possibly didn't need too, but then again maybe it hit close to home hence the childish comebacks and made up stories?Quote:
