WGAA dogs - trained to succeed – Duck Opening 2013




All across the state of Victoria in the early hours of Saturday 16th March WGAA members were to be found wading into dark swamps, their dogs at the ready, waiting for duck season 2013 to commence. The following pics have been sent in by members and reflect what was generally a great opening.
Despite the dry weather many areas were holding plentiful ducks and the time, effort and expense put in by members in training their gundog was rewarded many times over by that magic moment when ‘Rover’ performed the perfect retrieve!
The following slide show of members, their dogs and ducks harvested at the opening captures some of the tradition and significance of this important field sport.
