Thread: Who's getting ready for the duck shooting season?

I just got my licence yesterday and was quite happy with the set of ear muffs that you get with it this year from hunting and fishing. I'm heading out to give the mai mai a once over in the morning. It won't be too long now before opening day comes around.

faaaark yes,tagged up this morning and spread some wheat around....not we just need some rain to fill the plurry lake back up.

I'm shooting a river so I won't want too much rain but just hoping for a windy opening day. I bought some winchester ammo this year so I'll see how that goes and I might just use a three quarter choke instead of the pattern master.

Xpert or the duckload???

Duck load I think, the box has a picture of a duck on it. 2 & 3 quarter inch 1500 FPS velocity 34 Gram 3 shot

Got into town a lunch time and got my free pair of muffs. Just started feeding out last week. Hopefully buy some more maize this week. Looks like it might be a good season being seeing a lot of ducks around at the moment on different ponds . Got about 6 teal ducklings on the pond at the moment.

the duck load is good stuff....personally love the xpert.

Sounds good @bigbear I was thinking about feeding out some acorns but I haven't gathered any up yet

I have been using elley and that other stuff can't think of the name but I have gone to Winchester as it has always been good ammo

Ive done the acorn thing couple years ago. The boy and me fulled a 44 gallon drum and feed it out with the maize. i find the auto feeder works great just check it weekly and give them a bonus bucket when iam there.

Sounds like a plan

weve done the acorn thing a few times over the years....even sprouted a few at home..... two or three of them stuck and are now 12-15 feet tall and provide acorns all by them selves.... bought another nosloc feeder spingythingy off trademe,fitted it to bottom of bucket today...they work great well worth the $20 something $$$$

Yep, re tagged this morning. Mai mai was looking knackered was only there 2 months ago for a parrie shoot ( not very successful... 1) but some one had had fun since with geese or parries as picked up 12+ shells + 2 live ones and they had left door open so that had blown off ..... As long as they had fun eh 🙄.
Back tomorrow for a fix up and a few reno's with my boys they love it the 6yr old has a licence this year ( $3)as he often comes along. 😊

Haven't got my license yet probably get it at farmlands to get the 20% off falcon ammo. Bought a laydown blind and a dog blind the other week.

Skipping it this year I think. Good luck to all.
