Lowell,
For the last three years I've been privileged to hunt ducks on the Cache River in Arkansas with friends who own some land there. I take my HE Fox each year with three-inch Bismuth loads. We hunt a blind that is on a crook of the river that has been in place and hunted since the 1930's. We put the boat in at the public landing and pass right by a blind called Trapper's Island on the way in and out. Nash Buckingham killed ducks on this same spot with his big Foxes. Much tradition thereabouts. The boats and dekes look different than in Nash's day, but at least one gun, the swamp, the ducks and the some of the men are cut from the same cloth.

Thanks for starting the thread.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
