Hey all, I've been away from the board for board for sometime.

I couldn't post pictures from my phone. Keith did send me instructions telling me how, but to be honest, I was a bit lazy in posting. Thanks Keith for your help BTW.

Anyway, we've had a good season. Nice weather and a good population of birds. Only two weeks left.

If anyone is interested, you can see the pictures of this season in the below link. I'm gjw on that board.

Best Regards to all

Greg

Greg,

We have missed you!

I will tell the guys at F.A. Anderson that the gun they made for you still works well.

Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2024,

Parabola

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours also!

My son and I just shot a few ducks here in the Lowcountry. We both shot 10 gauges with Salt Creek 10 gauge Bismuth. Harry shot a Parker NH and I shot an Ithaca NID Mag 10. We each got our limit, even if it is just two.

Neat, I shoot a non-mag NID and a Syracuse Smith 10

Here are some ducks from last week. A good many around this year.





Edit: A week later

Finishing 2023 on divers

Day after Christmas. Middle son and daughter in law. I am the old fellow, on the right side. Guns, Ruger 20, Ithaca 37-20 bore and mine is AYA 28 ga. These birds are released birds, hence the smaller gauge choices. Shooting reserve does not encourage .410 shooting, I am sad to say. So I went bigger for the day. Not in the picture, is my black lab who decided to find a hiding hen about ten yards behind the I-phone taking the photo. Like me, she would rather do anything rather than take a picture. It, the hen, got added to the bag. Ended up with 15 pheasant and two residual quail. Not wild birds, but fun none the less.

Owner told me that they had a tower shoot a couple weeks earlier and those shooters were unable to hit anything. Something like 57 for 185 birds. Corporate shoot for employees and customers. None wanted to do walk up shoots afterwards. So the next day one group ended up with 53 birds across six shooters in one large field. They paid the standard residual bird rate and had one heck of a shoot. Kind of wish I was there, with my .410, but they frown on most .410 use. I guess if I had to watch bad shooting, I'd want better odds, with twice as much shot.

It's always great to finish up the season and year with a satisfying hunt! Best wishes to all for a Happy New year!
