Offroad-Express

Not long till opening weekend, anyone got any stories ??, any new shotguns,decoys any new toys,??????. I had a look at a new Remington 1187 20g, still undersided will probably stick with the old 1100 and Steel Shot . I picked up some new decoys the other day to replace what we lost last year, back up to 200 again. I brought a new Hammond duck caller to replace my old favorit that I broke and it doesn't sound any thing like my old one still needs a little tuning, probably needs a bit of Rum through it before it will sound right . I went to a Sporting Clay shoot on Sunday for a practice and i think I had better go to a few more before May, good job they had some drawn prizes because I wouldn't have won anything on my scores. We are off to the lake ( Ellesmere ) this weekend to check the Mai Mai and Hut ready for the Opening.

LET'S HEAR FROM YOU,

FITZY.

Every year i head down south to the family farm which is fantastic. This year i have just bought my first house and might have to stay in town so am looking for area's to shoot in the canterbury area. Does any one have any suggestions/empty ponds/stubble paddocks.
I might still make it down south because its the best weekend of the year and im not sure if i have ever not filled my limit for the day.

I bought a new stoeger semi auto for duck shooting this year to replace the old over and under not to sure about it yet may have to go to the shooting range at let loose a few boxes.

The little ejector mechanism thingy on the stoegers can pop out on their own pretty easy.Only like a half a turn of thread of that little bolt on the backside of the reciever. I re-tapped mine and used a bigger bolt...all good now. Just thought I'd say it now before it does it to you in the field.
Otherwise a wicked gun.
MAny people on here hunt canada geese??

Used to a few years back.


I use a square of green canvas all dirty and no longer waterproof... GRRR and a large frond of teatree to break up the outline. works on Parrys too, just slither along the ground through the mud etc and knick they heads off with the .22

Haha that definitely sounds legal.

Swamped wrote:Haha that definitely sounds awsome

yeah agree completely

spent the weekend setting thing up, New manual feeders this year, hope the bring in a few more ducks. gone to a hammond duck caller as well. so it will be back this weekend to top up the fedder and finish of the blinds. Bring on the shitty weather

And, if any of the Chch shooters find they have too many ducks for their freezer, I may be able to help............

I wouldn't trust either of these offers by these two jokers, I seriously suspect their motives.
Who would trust a joker with a new garage anyway? The other one has delusions of range rover too and that means his "kind" offer is definitely suss!!!

sorry bob the name has nothing to do with rangerovers and the only reason im stuck for a place this year is because i just bought my first house and can't make it down to the family farm this year, im pretty gutted because its easily the best weekend of the year in southland.

Ah well, cant be right all the time!!


When I lived in Tokoroa, the Quail season used to last until end of August. We used ti have a great time throwing handgrenades into the blackberry to flush the birds. NO!! NOT real grenades, homemade bangs and leftover fireworks. Works a treat.

The canvas and branch of teatree works even on Parries!! try it sometime.

Nice one that does make feel better a couple of my mates had the same thing but with an escort one was sweet the other had endless problems.

I sell them so i see what gets returned and what doesn't, prob a bit better than just owning one. opinions vary on them and it is the main reason they ever need repairing. Just an observation.

My gun got stolen a few weeks ago and picked up a new one the upcoming season the other day. Its an ATA semi auto (terkish) looks ok and was the in my price range. Nice and cheap!

I guess its the same with everything you get what you pay for.

its been a drama trying to find it after I uploaded it, so I gave up and did it again but saved it in general instead of somewhere else

anyways, you boys wanna get loads of ducks this year, then this is the shooter for you...............
