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

Been laying awake since 5 thinking what i've forgotten the ute will be packed this morning and the mrs will pick me up at work on the way through to the coast where i shoot with her dad and have done for the last 8 years since starting ...... but this year my eldest boy gets his first opening (6 1/2yrs) with a single shot .410, he hits targets and clays which has amazed me and his grandad, he's keen as for his 1st duck which is adding to the build up.

And this ones always ready...


As always its safety 1st fun 2nd.

Have a great weekend every one

Good luck guys hope you all have a great time with whoever your out with. Be safe ah

After a week of windy southerly rain/showers all week woke this morning to a cold still morning and a light frost

Usually like shit, I get most of mine stalking stock ponds a bit later in the day. I think it would shoot better if we had bad weather, it's way inland and the ducks head in the opposite direction out to sea

Went down and put out the decoys, slight change to the mai mai to make it bit more user friendly for the boys opening.
I know the neighbour's were out putting out the decoys before i got to my pond tonight but freak some ducks came off. Pity the weather is looking hot and still

Yeah as you can see from the photos of my spot there isn't a ripple to be seen and the forecast is for 20 degrees, I mainly get parries flying around but I do get some mallards with the biggest mob so far around 6-8. It is a lovely spot to be for the day so even if there are no ducks it's still a great day out.

Going be a fine day for us to got the feeding frenzy & 6 decoys on a bungy cord to give plenty of movement , started off with 2 wool packs of decoys but looking at the pond you wouldn't think there's many there , couple of pic,s of our digs for Saturday night



Supposed to be raining most of sunday , good luck to all .
