What a great pic.!Originally Posted by marketdawg
However, looking at the length on that shotgun barrel makes my ears hurt.:icon_wink:
Years ago we waded in one VERY cold morning. My friend who had a short barreled 1187 let his gun go down in the water. He didn't realize it at the time and it froze an ice plug in the barrel. You can imagine what happened on the first volley. He still has the barrel of that gun. It makes a great conversation piece.

was invited on a hunt up in Jones yesterday. Had one of the better hunts I had been on in a longgggggggggggg time. 19 birds with the majority being teal with a mallard and some greys.
Cool Mike. One of buddies and two others hunted Bosco Saturday and limited on teal, mallards and gadwalls.
My experience was not as good I got two gadwalls Saturday hunting a blind myself at Plain Dealing.
Good old Memorial Gym

Yeah, I noticed that in the pic.. Thought you had that one shuffled around to the back didn't you? Did you let him stop swimming before you shot him?
Call him a merganzer and you are off scot-free.
yep, closer to a coot than being a duck
duh!!
I had the day off and decided to sleep in before trying an afternoon duck hunt. 1st day to TRY to sleep in in a long while and it was pretty friggin fantastic. I had the house to myself as I cooked a huge breakfast (at 10:30) and afterwards I busied myself with the mental list of all the stuff I needed to load to go duck hunting this afternoon: 4 wheeler, waders, decoys, duck and goose calls, motion decoys, ect ect.... Being the seasoned veteran I went to the ammo closet first and put the shells in the vehicle. Then I sauntered over to the gun safe and punched in the combo and swung the handle...and it happened...
For some reason my father-in-law's lever action .22 with iron sights caught my eye. I never met him as he had already passed away when I was lucky enough to snag my wife but I can attest to a couple of things: 1)He bought good guns 2)He toook great care of them. I swear I wasn't even thinking about it but it just happened. It didn't make any sense as the weather today was terrible for squirrels. Windy, 34 degrees, just plain wrong. But I started thinking about it.
Duck hunting takes a lot of materials and labor. Deer hunting with my muzzleloader this time of year is also a pain in the ass. I had the day off and I wanted to enjoy the outdoors-plain and simple. If any of you other outdoorsmen were brought-up like me then you know what I mean. I put any idea of ducks and deer aside and headed to the oak bottoms (and maybe a deer stand where I had been watching squirrels get fat on my corn all season). It was a great idea. I've got three squirrels quartered and simmering in white wine, chicken broth, tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers and onions. The shots were true, the woods were blustery, windy and cold as they should be. I was shivering as I cleaned my game in the lamplight. The house smells like a pot of goodness and heartiness is simmering. I think sometimes you have to go back to the basics to get back to happy.
