Either that bear was very weak, or our honkers here on Whidbey Island are tough.  #4 steel shot has never worked great on a big goose :chuckle: :chuckle:

It would if you were 2ft away :)

Had a Black Bear swim into my decoy spread yesterday while hunting in Lower BC.

I think my next purchase after that would be a new gun for duck hunting... a 500 S&W

Or a box of 12ga slugs.  i hunted ducks in Sitka a few times and we never left the boat without slugs.  Never had any close calls.

The most memorable duck day I ever had was in the Palmer Hay Flats with my dog, Shuksan, watching the Northern Lights.

awesome Sisu, i walked parts of the hay flats once when i lived in Palmer for a  year n half. didn't have a boat or an atv and wanted to get out there so bad. you guys can have great shooting on the palmer hayflats. I'm thankful that i now have a new roughneck. I really have no interest in moving back but if i do, ill be ready to haul out of here if this country goes off the deep end by electing Obama again. Every day is a duck weather day up in Alaska. I miss that part so much. I remember hunting me and my dog on the upper kenai when it was snowing. My first duck hunt in the snow and knocked down some goldeneyes and had one in full plume and big mounted. it looks great. Rick, at caribou unlimited in sterling is an excellent bird man and i mean he's good. I had18 mounts done prior to moving to AK and he made those  birds which were done in K falls look like amatures.
Who needs a reason it's Duck Season
