Cold weather duck hunting is for only the most dedicated. Mark was shooting a Parker 3 frame 12ga and I was shooting my Super Fox. Our friends were shooting a Benelli Super Eagle 1 and a Model 23 Winchester Duck. The next morning the temps dropped to 7 and ice fog on the river kept the ducks from flying. A full moon and north wind also pushed ducks south overnight. Sometimes you just hit the migration and conditions perfectly as we did on our first hunt.
