We shot in the Waikato and only got a few, none of the mobs from previous years but it was still fantastic to get out.



I'm heading off after Pheasants next weekend, hopefully the weather improves.

Its been hard work were we have access - no ponds and no puddles out in the paddocks :-( So far we have a score of 1 mallard - which we lost in the drain - and a pukeko that the young fella bagged last evening.

Todays rain may help , but there is a lot of season left yet , and it will get wetter as it goes. Hardly any paradise ducks in our area yet ....

What sort of shotguns are they mate? They only have one barrel and a hole in the side

They are called "semi-autos " Bakes.

Your government has decreed that you aussies arent socially developed enough to be allowed to have those firearms , so you can only have two shots at a time :-)

the fun kind!

muzza, you had any more luck? There is bound to be some more ducks about with this current weather. Hopefully it clears enough so we can chase some roosters on Saturday.

Havent been out , Hendrik. Will get out over the weekend , with any luck. Bit of rain here but still not very wet - no puddles in the paddocks to attract the parries yet anyways .

Don't shoot to many, leave some for me as I will be flying in Thursday to spend 8 glorious days in NZ. Cannot wait till I get over the ditch to partake of some great duck shooting.
