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.

That looks interesting, let us know how it goes

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.

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.

to each his own mate and good luck on the stag.
plenty of water up your way to then Dundee.


[Hmmm does police advice override Fish and Game rules ]


yes no mag extensions that give you more than 5 rounds total.

Full of parries this morning.

Last supper to feed out tomorrow.

Dropped of the new decoys today and inspected the bridge.

We all good to go!
