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

Yeah nothing like getting all the gear sorted. I have been checking batteries in everything, and giving the gear a once over. It only comes around once a year so you don't want anything letting you down. A guy at work came up with a good idea to make a decoy move on the water so I'm going to give it a try this year.

Duck Shooting,
Batteries ?
I must be older than I thought.

permits sorted, made the shotgun compliant, sorted decoys, checked batteries, tested the Mojos, gears pack, foods sorted, sent the outboard away to get serviced and the inflatable to get repaired both 3 weeks ago........still not ready but i have faith!!!! so can't wait, ive already booked leave for next year!

Looking forward to it!

Pretty well all set. Gun ammo decoys hide boat callers clothing dogs stones cookup gear all ready.
Trying a little idea for decoy movement this season. A stream runs through my swamp so there are varying degrees of current from zero to about three knots. I have taken strings off about 15 decoys and drilled holes though keels a little forward of centre, then tied weight strings there. Tested this and decoys move from side to side changing direction. More current equals more movement. We will see

Just been shooting high volume doves in argentina. Fly back the day before then into it. Shoulder is raw so not to keen on firing to many shots...

Dog is ready, I am not. Still got to sort my decoy setup out but that is about it.



Hopefully some ducks turn up as they are not eating the barley I have put out.....

if you need any proof that god loves duck shooters ??
take a look out your window its persisting down.

I haven't even bought my ammo yet

Getting tempted now. I'm off at the weekend and the Mrs said why don't you go duck hunting. Even have a new pond to shoot on. $96 to sit by a pond all day and not fire a single shot... decisions.. decisions...

Good for the guys with empty ponds, not good for everyone else will disperse the ducks a bit and make things a bit harder.

How likely are you to get checked? Just claim that you're iwi and they'll let you off Scott free.

@BRADS Bro im sorted as, got twenty nine 24 packs of speights, sorted out all my spots to throw the dead ducks afterwards (got camera ready to take photo of ducks all lined up on my bonnet first) got 70,000 rounds of 12 gauge cos even though I say I know the limits of my gun and only take shots inside 40yds we all know ya just gotta pray and spray at anything that comes within 200m, the farmers will clean up the stragglers later on anyhow.
