Back in one of the years of The Vintage Cup at Sandanona when I was helping Kevin with the PGCA booth we had 32-inch 20-gauges on display on 0-, 1- and 2-frames.

Default The former Great Pacific Flyway

Craig, back to your original question of "is Dinuba, California a duck hunting area?" it most certainly was in those days. If you've ever heard of the Pacific flyway, these fellows had direct access to some of the greatest waterfowl migrations in the western US. However, JG Boswell intervined and here's what happened to the flyway:

The cotton magnate James G. Boswell begins in the nineteen-twenties, when his family was driven from Georgia by boll-weevil infestations and brought its plantation ways to California's San Joaquin Valley. Not to be defeated by nature again, the Boswells leveed and dammed Tulare Lake, the largest body of fresh water west of the Mississippi, to the point of extinction. In its six-hundred-square-mile basin they grew cotton, while in Los Angeles office towers they built one of the country's largest agricultural operations, swallowing small farms and multimillion-dollar subsidies with equal vigor. Arax and Wartzman strive for evenhandedness but acknowledge the costs of Big Ag—such as evaporation ponds with selenium levels so high that ducks are born with corkscrewed beaks and no eyes, and the recurrent "hundred-year floods," stubborn attempts by the old lake to reassert itself.

Obviously, a travesty like this wouldn't happen today, but it's too late for the Pacific Flyway.....or is it?

Larry thanks so much that's just the information I was hoping for, thanks. Good place to start my research about the golden age of waterfowl hunting in the central valley.

If you want to know about central valley duck hunting you should contact this gentleman:
https://www.bakersfield.com/columnists/ken-barnes/
I have talked to him a couple of times and he is really a fascinating guy and great fun to talk to. He has written quite a few articles about the 'good old days' of duck hunting in California.
