Hey Rangi, whats the limit this year in and around canterbury?

When I lived in Tokoroa, we had no limit on Quail right up to the end August.

Iwas shooting at the back of Waipawa on the river bed on a small back water Froze my %&%^&$&& arse all night on friday had a good shoot on Saturday with 7 pary 2 goose shot then relaxed for the afternoon not much happend that night but bagged 3 browns and 2 more parys Sun morning. then shoot a good sized pheasent on the way out, so a pretty quite start to the season. hoping to get on a couple of dams in the next couple of weeks.

canty,
mallards 25 max
paradise 5 max
greys 5

but i was shooting down in southland in the snow, they have pretty much the same limit, but greys and mallards come under same limit (20) and i think its 6 parrys. We have 12 guys shooting on my familys farm (some from north island and 2 from overseas) so if we split the ducks between us it gives a pretty large total limit.

nice one
