1 Mallard and 159 parries. That is one nice meal for two and a shitload of gumboot stew.

Only got one, the rest of the wankers locked themselves in the ute.
Heard my neighbor saying yesterday though what a good opening morning they had though, drunk 7 24 packs between them. The only thing I had to throw was my good tourqe wrench though, so he got away with it.

Parries make nice sausages and salami

Ducks are known as beach chickens where we camp.

They should lose their firearms licence and their weapons if caught with alcohol

There would not be many duckshooters left in southland if you went and breathelized every shooter in every mamai. Seems like it is just an excuse to get on the piss, not to show how brave you are by shooting ducks.

A couple of shots of good quality whiskey on a cold winters morning is no sin. More than that and yep, no shooting for them, is how it should be.
The reason for having a duck shooting season at all,is to cull the many thousands of them that clog our water ways and make already stagnant streams and ponds into simple, duck shit sewers.
There are many species of duck and there are limits on most of them.
Haven't heard of a duck hunter being prosecuted for having too many of the wrong sort of duck in their bag for quite some time.
Using floating rat traps, yes,cutting holes in the floor of their cars and dropping bread to bring ducks to them,yes.
Lots of people from all different sorts of walks of life go out and shoot ducks to help maintain a sustainable population.
Many don't eat duck, but their bag almost never goes to waste and they get to go out on the land and help conserve our country's waterways from what is considered a plague of flying pests.
So far, no news of an opening day incident, off to a good start ladies and gentleman.
No news of any duck lovers spoiling the day for shooters either, now that's a bonus. Damned dangerous having people wandering about in the early morning fog waving their arms about and acting like ducks, Christ, they could get shot.
