Vic Duck Season announced

[Gareth Tawton]

Great to hear on the radio this morning Victoria announce a duck season for next year. 7 birds a day is a bit better than 5 this year.

Gareth

[Wayne Parkinson]

Yes it is great news Gareth.

We need to thank the few people who work non stop to make sure we still get a hunting season in Victoria.

PS
I will be defending the World Duck Hunting Title (again) this year

Wayne,

Great to hear the CHAMP will be back to defend his title. I too will be defending my title if my adversary has the intestinal fortitude to come back for another wipping After the claims of rule breaching last year perhaps we should clarify the rule. I always thought they were simple. HE with the most ducks wins!!! In the case of equal bag limits the shooter first to bag out wins on count back

Gareth

[Wayne Parkinson]

That sounds like a good rule to me.

I will give my challenger credit. He came close last year.
There was only a Hare in it.

I had better start my duck calling practice.

"My duck" "My duck" Yes that sounds about right.

[Robert Tawton]

Gareth,

I already have my License for the coming season and like Wayne I have started on practising my duck calling! Just to show that there are no hard feelings over your fluke of last year, I will not bring "KwiK" to duck opening to really show you up!

Regards, RWT

PS For those that don't know, Kwik is the name of my new, yellow, duck retrieving machine that I pan to take delivery on Jan 3, 2006

I had a wager with a certain someone on the outcome of the last test against the West Indies. The wager was that the loser would drive the boat for the winner at duck opening. Today I ordered my shells. Is anybody else, apart from me, going to have their boat piloted by a qualified coxwain?

Hi Graeme,

I am envious, but beware of the coxswain who shakes the helm just as you are about to shoot!

RWT

[Wayne Parkinson]

I can't believe I lost a bet to someone who can't even remember what the bet was. Can you believe that, driving a boat for someone who can't even remember why it's all happening.

I backed Bubba to win the play off with Robert Allenby in the golf masters.
After all he is a left hander.

New rule
If you can't remember the bet you can't win the bet.

Hi Bob,
Is your latest prospect, Kwik another Kadnook pup?
Garrick

[Robert Tawton]

Hi Garrick,

The answer to your question is, YES! Kwik is by Kadnook Drop O Doins (a half brother to my Tank) out of Ch Kadnook Remember When ( the mother of Joe Law's bitch) and I am counting the number of sleeps. I plan to take delivery on the 3rd of January.

BFN, RWT

Hello Robert - congratulations on your new pup who the grapevine tells me is an AA water dog already However, I have to say I am disappointed in you - everytime we meet you tell me how GSPs are quite capable of being titled down south and how well they can work -eg Homer (no argument there) and how much you like them so I really thought you would show us the way in the Southern States and become a role model for GSP owners - who certainly need one! After all who wants yet another Lab RtCh See you at Shep? Prue

[Robert Tawton]

Hi Prue,

Hi Prue,

It is with regret that for the first time in many, many years Pam and I will not be at the GSP January Trial in Shepparton . Gareth has been invited to judge the All Age, which leaves me without an event in which to compete (and Kwik will not be ready in time ). Canberra to Shepparton is a bit too far to go to just be a spectator for the weekend, especially with the National being in Perth this year. Please pass on our apologies and wish every one all the best for the weekend and the 2006 season.

Kindest regards, RWT
