Gearing up for duck season By Gabrielle Stuart This week even the most macho men will be digging through their wardrobes, choosing outfits and eyeing the latest fashions. They’re not dressing to be noticed by the birds but to go completely undetected, as they prepare for the opening week of duck shooting season. Although the right outfit wouldn’t help a hunter shoot straight, Chris Helem of Outdoor Adventure Sports Ashburton said it would make them far more likely to see ducks. “They have exceptional eyesight, and a flash of colour or movement can give you away. You can’t be too careful around ducks.” Even make-up is important for keen hunters, and he said a bit of camouflage paint could go a long way. “Often they’ll get kitted out with Photo tetsuro mitomo 260413-TM-016 all the gear but forget about their From lined waterproof suits for the coldest weather to leafy mesh suits for hunting particularly face and their hands, and when they keen-eyed ducks, Kaye Whiting (right) and Angie McCallum model a range of duckshooting gear. reach for their guns there’ll be a great

flash of white. It’s enough to keep any ducks away.” He said that the right gear could often show the difference between expert and amateur hunters. “Amateurs will put on a jacket and think they’re done. Experts know that the more concern they have, the better. Even when shooting from a maimai, if the opening is big enough for you to see out, it’s big enough for a duck to see inside.” He said that when looking for camouflage gear, the most important thing was to make sure it was waterproof. “You’ll often have to wade into a pond to retrieve your ducks, and you’ll be pretty miserable if you get wet. The right colour is also important. Most maimais are a leafy green, rather than the browns of stubble paddocks or yellows of American woodland patterns.” As well as camouflage clothing, Mr Helem said camouflaging guns and other equipment was also important. “We stock camouflage sleeves for guns and camo tape as well, to hide anything shiny.”
