...managed to talk the wife into coming out with me as well. I don't think its her game however. She got a bit freaked out when the shotty went off and was worried about the kids when the firing on the swamp started (motherly instinct kicked in). As to the geese...not a one. Did manage to bag 3 ducks but

I'm getting hooked on this caper

Bakes , the best I ever did was 11 with 1 cartridge,there was about 50 or 60 feeding in 1 small area .

Sweet mate
I just bought me an under and over... We should hook up one day for a shoot

Have to be soon Dan season finishes 31 Dec. Going to take the boys out next week. I've applied to keep some geese so I can mount them and I'm waiting for the permit. If I don't get any this year I'll have to wait till next season.

How's the rain at Jabiru? Pouring here as I type. Putting the boat in tomorrow hope I don't get pissed on

Aww crap
Didn't realise it finished so soon! Gun is coming from Townsville so it wont be here. Been as dry as a nuns nasty here for a week or so, rivers at .4 on Cahills crossing so I might slip back up into the Coburg for a hunt and fish while I have a few days off
Sandy and I are up in Darwin tomorrow arvo (overnight) to collect the quad and a last minute shop.

For gods sake... take a crabpot with you and get me a muddy or 2! I can pay

Dan

Buying crabs...that would be illegal Sorry mate wrong tides. We are heading out on a falling tide. Stop by if you have time. I'll pm my address.

Bakes and others,

Can you hunt goose and other waterfowl on public land. Is a licence necessary for an out-of-stater. Do you have to do a wild fowl identification test. Approximately when are the seasons.

(Sorry, my question mark key isn't working.

Thanks,

mike

Mike.
Season is from 30 August to 30 December. You need a permit which you get from the parks dept. $20 odd. No ID test and they give you maps to the public hunting areas. (stay away from the water and DON'T wade in after downed geese, snapping hand bags are everywhere ) Steel shot only on public swamps. Lead shot on private lands. You are allowed to shoot: Magpie Geese, Black Duck, Wandering Whistle Duck, Plumed Whistle Duck, Grey Teal, Pink eared Duck, Hardhead Duck and Wood Duck. Here's a number for you. 08 89994795

I was going to put you would have less birds to clean. But then I realized the answer.
