Default Waterfowl Hunter...

I go duck hunting - more of an all around hunter (upland birds, waterfowl, deer). Don't really go by myself as I don't have my own boat/blind/dogs but go with friends that do.

I used to be an avid duck hunter.....pretty much cut my teeth on pheasent, ducks and geese. Unfortunately I haven't been in years. In fact haven't been since the steel shot law came into effect up here over 10 years ago. I didn't think my old Browning would shoot them as I thought I had a full choke. Come to find out I just have a tighter bored modified. So, I've been wanting to go out again soon. I sure miss it. Been training a good yellow lab, and he's ready....!!!
Good Hunting...!!!

No, it's not as old as the humpback........It's a B-80.

It's nice to hear from fellow hunters. i have a 14 ft boat, a 20 footer, and a well trained lab. I mainly hunt divers on the Niagara river, just waiting for the flights to come down. I have been wasting my days away chaisng the puddlers, but the early season has been pretty slow so far.
