Yeah looks like a good pond, trim back the trees so you can see more of the pond. Build more hides to cover more of the pond. A frame blinds would be a great idea to give you more options. Me and my Old man had the same problem with our pond having the hide in the wrong place. The first time shooting the pond this season.

Yeah it sucks mate, same cost of license and we only get 5 weekends. It was slow for us up here on our main pond but just ticked over 100 Mallards for the season after getting out there and chasing them.

Better than us in the Manawatu no ducks about. No one out shooting to get ducks moving. We used to have good opening weekends and good nights shoots. Trying to get the pup working retrieving on the water he loves the water though. He has only had few retrieves he is good at finding wounded ducks and he picks up Ducks but the parrys I shot a few weeks ago were a bit heavy for him at first. He is a lab X golden retriever. He has been making good progress.

Bit of a mixture. I use a Beretta A300 12g , my son Van uses a Benelli m2 20g & Decky is on a Benelli M2 12g I personally don’t fit/like the Benelli’s, they just don’t sit right for me.

@@Harveyshuntingandfishing yeah a single barrel folding Ranger. Used it for a couple seasons and dropped a few with it, pretty hard for the young ones now with having to use steel in them.

are you going to post an opening weekend vid

Our opening was the worst in 6-7 years mate, only got 14 mallards for the whole weekend. Didn’t capture much footage sorry.

Same for us in the Manawatu and my sister In law and her friends in Otago had poor opening weekend.
