Story: Duck shooting

Duck hunters, 1969 (3rd of 3)

Duck hunters, 1969

Three Whanganui duck hunters call ducks from their maimai at Lake Kowhata in 1969. They bagged grey ducks, mallards and the odd paradise shelduck. They must have been good hunters, as they reportedly shot a limit bag each day they hunted during the season.
