He's a bit faded now,been a while since https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....er-hills-2465/ New dog Bo has his maiden shoot coming up,he was only 6mths last season and only had him for the last two weeks of the season.Quote:

My last duck/rabbit/deer dog was a springer -foxy,x. She made it to 17yrs,funny when she used to jump a hare on the walk to the Mai Mai she would give chase for about 10m then just watch it run off in her twilight years..sad to see great dogs getting on in years..
Kinda hoping the old dogs ticker will give out on him as he chases down a goose on a long retrieve in the lake ,be a good way to go for him I reason and easier on me not having to take him to the vets one day soon for the final time..much like the end of the movie “legends of the fall”..quote..it was a good death..
Good looking pondQuote:

Might be enough ammo to take home 5 ducks. I cant shoot a shotty for shit so id say the ducks will be pretty safe.
yep I took my oldboy out to elly for the last waltze then buried him not far from out favourite pozzy.Quote:

Oops so who still the calander on April:x_x: my bad
Didn't have any parry decoys and there seem to be a few flying around the place. So I rescued some old (shot up) mallard decoys from the maimai and up-cycled them to parry decoys.
Using some silicone to fill the holes and test pots from Resene, spent the last couple of evenings of painting with my 4yr old son where we ended up prepping 2 pairs.

Last supper to feed out tomorrow.

yes no mag extensions that give you more than 5 rounds total.
:TT TT: The pond where I was going to shoot is dry... Just got off the phone to the farmer and he can walk across it.
ponds are lower than full by far but plenty of food been dished out to the birds on the three ponds I've been feeding.Hot barrells everyone.

Full of parries this morning.

Is it completely dry? Even if there's only a few inches that'll be enough.Quote:
