Spoke with dad yesterday after he got back from the swamp. Another limit but he mentioned it was harder work. After he'd finished a big flock sat on the pond and he said it was 90% hen birds. (82.6087% to be exact. I made up the 90% bit). His limit was made up of 83.33334% hen birds.Maths at work. Can we presume that hunters are targeting drakes more often than hens? Well that's a pretty small observation window and tiny sample, so who can tell? Rick and I saw far more hens than drakes on opening, yet the bag since has been mostly evenly mixed I think.
Anyhow, Tim and i are off to huntly this afternoon for a wee sit down and see at Kimihia. Perhaps we'll get a flight, with the flooded paddocks its a better than even bet in my opinion. I picked up some Higdon motion Fead full body dekes for the occassion. When I get my GHG resters back I ought to have a passable field spread.
