Thanks for relating that, KY Jon. Seeing a punt gun in action is on my bucket list, has been for many years. I have been trying to run down an issue of Sporting Clays magazine that I foolishly let get away about 16-18 years ago, maybe longer. A friend gave it to me to read a story in it, about an old punt gunner on the eastern shore, and what happened to him the night the big punt gun jumped out of it's mooring under recoil, broke his jaw and knocked him out of his little boat into the icy water. Wonderful story. I'd give a "purty" to get ahold of that issue again. He claimed he had killed 1000 ducks with that one shot, and the game warden and a kid picked up over 700 of them two days later when the ice thawed on the bay.
