Snow hunting
« on: January 19, 2012, 06:54:45 PM »
Had a pretty stellar last couple of days shooting limits of snows and ducks in this awesome weather. pretty excited yesterday to get a band but today took it over the top. got a double banded bird today that was banded 15 years ago. hard to believe that a snow can survive that long flying through the gauntlet and getting shot at every day of the season. both bands had large v's worn into them from where the birds legs had rubbed throughout its life.

Good job Johnny.  I saw a few double banded snows.  One less now.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!
