Good luck with the bucket Elvis
We haven't had a duck season here for years and it doesn't look like we will be getting one

Well done on the feeder Elvis. I hope you have got the feeder well hidden so only you and the ducks know where it is....no sense in getting everything ready for some other bugger to jump in and trump ya mate.
The trips up to keep it full will give you quality time with your family mate...and believe me when I say life is short. That has been bought home to me rather poignantly recently.
Don't count ya chickens 'afore they hatch ticks....I heard a whisper that with all the rain we have had up here in Qld, and not having a duck season for a number of years, the ducks are overpopulating.
Don't be too surprised if you guys suddenly get a season mate. Good Luck.
Cheers, Vince

Thought that's what ya meant, but figured I better check.
Feeding fish (even in an attempt to grow a record fish) is legal here. Feeding waterfowl (in order to hunt them) is considered "baiting" and is strictly prohibited.
Good luck with yer ducks....

theres nothing illegal about training fish to jump out of the water to feed out of a bucket, the ducks are just a bonus.

yip im a kiwi through n through. well the weekend went well we didnt get many 15 birds in all but we had a great time and we have 3 months to get some more. weather was typical fine with no wind. lots of guys out and about. my buddy who was shooting with us went tits up over a bank and broke his leg saturday morning so that added a little drama to the day. we bundled him off to the doctors and they managed to get his waders off in one piece they were only worn for two hours before he fell over so we were a little loath to cut them off.he is fine now but wont be doing much shooting with three breaks to lower leg and a great big cast to cart round.
