Mines going deaf so maybe they can hook up and go tag team

Bought some no.5 shot to try out, should be a good morning/evening load when they are decoying close, pattern should be very dense.

Just make sure you get a picture of it Sunday afternoon with the 696 stubbies floating in it...wouldn’t want to let the side down...

3 boxes Federal Black Cloud 2-3/4inch 3 shot (thanks to the TV shows)4 boxes of Winchester Waterfowl Hi Velocity 3 shot for me.
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.

doc can kiss my arse if they don't like it

rememember to bring out as many of your empty cases as you can find to.
imho nothing flares ducks like vehicles and heaps of them floating about.

We get to start shooting a day early YEHAR ...may the 5th

Oops so who still the calander on April 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.



Looking forward to Saturday!

You made a great job of those decoys @Bryan, I should have got a few of those as there are a lot of parries out my way

Not me, never been into duck shooting, I would rather skin a deer than pluck a duck [and eat venison than duck] but that's me. I will be looking for a post roar stag that's out feeding up, that's the plan anyway. Good Luck with your opening weekend.
