Thread: Who's excited?

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?

Taking a younger bloke out tomorrow for his first opening day. As long as we get a couple each I’m sure it’ll be a good day.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

It's a highly illegal way to euthanize stock which is why I have asked old mate Woody to let me know the details so it can be sorted, even left my number here for him but he doesn't want to do that so either likes letting people get away with abuse of animals, or just made the story up to begin with

Did you just add the hammer bit to add some shock value to your story? Now I'm not sure if you're just a straight up liar or you just add little made up tidbits to your stories like schoolgirls do?

HEY MAN, YOU HAVE GOT IT ALL WRONG.... "hammer em" is something done while no one is watching, just like how sheep like it.
The calves are probably just feeling a little dirty, but otherwise fine.

explosives.

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.

To tell the truth im not even sure how the way I make a living has been bought into this thread?

I didnt hear any shots before light this morning....in fact I was starting to wonder if I was going to hear any at all!
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.

Probably because of a few examples you've witnessed, you've slandered the whole duck hunting community. Wounded ducks being left is unethical and to be avoided,but so is a lot of stuff I see in dairy....cows up to their guts in mud, lack of shelter belts....
If you witnessed duck hunters obviously pissed and going out for a night shoot, you have a duty as a responsible firearms holder to report this illegal activity. By not reporting it, you must condone that behaviour.

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?

Also, I have reported plenty of illegal activity Andrew I would have thought you of all people would realise shitting where you sleep is a dangerous practice. Slander dairy farmers as much as you want because at the end of the day you're just continuing some childish he says she says argument and I don't really give a shit because I know how I operate
