Today was one of the best day's shooting I've ever had; bagged out, with grey and chestnut teal, pink-ear and black duck and a couple of blue-winged shovellers; a couple will probably be mounted, at the behest of the minister for war and finance. Shot over a small private swamp, a stretch of the Mt Emu creekline and a medium sized dam/lake as the guest of a soldier-settler extended family's traditional opening. Took the toplever hammer live pigeon gun (damascus barrels, or course...) and had a catridges to game bagged ratio of way too much to not enough; but that's not important.
After a couple of wet years of breeding frenzy, the last 12 months of dry have concentrated them on what water is still about.
