I like the idea of hunting over handmade decoys with an old American double (my Lefever 16 with hand-rolled bismuth will have to do for now, but I have two boxes of 12b tungsten 2.5" #5's waiting for a nice damascus gun to put them in), with a hand-made boat, and picking which ducks to shoot based on taste. Here in WA., there's lots of coastal ducks to shoot which get pretty gamey. Eastern WA., however, in the cornfields and sloughs, is the domain of tasty cornfed mallards. I just wish my brit could sit still in a duck blind. He just wants to run, which he's bred for. But, I hate leaving him at home to chase ducks. He goes nuts. Ergo, my dilemma.
