Default Louisiana part 3

Near Kaplan,shot geese and ducks.4 of us shoot 18 ducks,Gadwal,Mallards,Widgeon,and a spoonbill.4 specklebellies.Used a 16 gauge Parker with 30" barrels.I did in fact miss a few others.Back on Sunday.I would have some pictures for the group,but I have know idea how to do it.There are a tremendous number of ducks in LA.Geese as well.The limit on snowgeese is 20.

I've shot ducks with a 16 gauge back in the lead days, killed my first goose with one too. They'll kill 'em if you hold right, that's for certain.

Drops them,no chasing.Now,I do have to hit them,however.The geese need to be close.No sky busting with the 5's.
