Thread: Sour end to duck season 2023

Monday was the last day for ducks here in Eastern F&G. We stayed all day for 7 ducks, but just on evening, we had a ute turn up opposite us. Two guys got out of the ute (which was about 150m away), and we heard them loading up, which put us on edge. They then opened fire on our two swan decoys, which were half way across the lagoon - so 70m away. They fired rapid fire for 6 shots, and pellets were flying into the raupo one side of us, luckily about 10-15 metres away. I asked them not too politely what the hell they thought they were doing. There was a stunned silence from them, and one asked if we were alright, then they jumped in their ute and took off. I was gobsmacked that they broke a number of rules. I am just thankful that neither of us or the two dogs were injured.
