With the Waipapakauri Gamebird Hunting Comp prizegiving happening this weekend, it seemed like a pretty good time to look back on Kane’s 2026 duck season 🦆🦆.
And it was a bloody good one!
The highlight for Kane was definitely opening wekend. He took his cousin Rusty along for his first hunt at a spot that’s been part of their family’s opening weekend tradition for more than 50 years which made an already epic weekend that little bit more special.
And the ducks played ball too. Opening morning set the bar pretty high, with Kane reaching his limit by 9am!
From there, the season saw him hunting a few different spots around the Far North, with plenty of early mornings, some great shoots and a few quieter ones thrown in for good measure.
He even managed to convince Laura to head out for her first ever duck hunt later in the season. After plenty of persuasion she finally gave in, headed out for a morning and managed to get her first mallard so we’ll call that another win for the season 😂
All up, plenty of good hunts, good company and some pretty awesome memories made along the way.
And if you know Kane, you’ll know he’s already counting down to the next one… only 262 days until the 2027 game bird season opens 😂🦆
Before we completely wrap up duck season, the Waipapakauri Duck Hunting Comp prizegiving is on this Saturday and they’ve got a couple of great raffles up for grabs:
🦆 Spika Scout Jacket — winner’s choice of Biarri Camo or Olive (RRP $199.99)
🎟️ $300 Riders Sports Voucher
Tickets are $10 each and we’ve got them available at Riders Sports. Both raffles will be drawn at the prizegiving this Saturday (you dont have to be there to win).
Good luck to everyone in the draw!

You might not know the name K2 as well as some of the other chilly bin brands here in NZ… but that doesn’t mean they’re an inferior option.
K2 Coolers have actually been around since 2011, and when you look at how they’re built, they share a lot of the same features you’d expect to find in a quality heavy duty chilly bin.
They feature one piece rotomoulded construction, UV resistant polyethylene, thick high density polyurethane foam insulation, a full gasket around the lid, heavy duty rubber latches and non-slip feet, all the things you want in a solid, well insulated chilly bin built for proper outdoor use.
Whether it’s keeping the catch cold on the boat, bringing meat home from a hunt, heading away camping or keeping the food and drinks cold for the weekend, they’re built for the job.
And one of the best things about the K2s? They’re affordable too.
30L — $149
50L — $179.99
70L — $299
So if you’ve been looking for a decent chilly bin without spending a fortune, don’t overlook the K2s just because the name might not be as familiar.
They’ve got the construction, insulation and durability you want in a good chilly bin at a price that makes them pretty hard to look past.
We’ve got 30L, 50L and 70L options in store at Riders Sports.

Kane and the boys have just got back from a successful meat mission 🦌, running the trusty Tikka T3x .243 paired with the PARD Night Stalker 4K EX.
The original plan was to head to Whanganui, but a last minute change of plans saw them make the trip to South Head instead... and they're pretty glad they did. It turned into one of those hunts where everything just came together, with plenty of quality meat heading home.
The animals are all in at the butcher now, so the freezer's going to be well stocked for a while yet. Better still, we've got a heap being turned into salami, and we'll bring some into the shop over the next week or two.
If you happen to pop in while it's here, you might just score yourself a taste. 😋
Who's been out lately? We'd love to see your photos in the comments.
