ducks this morning
« on: October 15, 2016, 05:17:00 PM »
Went out to a local pond this morning with asmith from the board.  We've hunted together last year for ducks and quail.  This year was the opening morning and we found ducks.  We also found out we need to have an ammo company sponsor us as we popped a fair number of shells.

Here's the results after back at my place.

I just need to find a round that shoots straighter and actually hits the birds.  All the rounds I had today were crooked  :dunno:

Here's how you clean birds after a long day of hunting.

Get the kids to do it
Right wing shooter, I aim for the left!!!

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you come close to what can be considered a rational thought. Everyone is now dumber having heard it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul.

"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

After a number of shots my lower barrel didn't want to fire.  I had a very heavy single shot for the remainder of the day.  Beats me what's wrong and also beats me how to fix it.  I'm starting to look for a replacement shotgun.  My dream gun would be a 3 inch Citori, 28 inch barrel and under $1200.

It looks like a gadwall.  We had 9 spoonies, 3 gadwall and two hen greenwing teal.
