Last Day Eiders 2017

Charlie Purple had a great day retrieving 11 of our 16 Eiders on our last day of the season this morning.
Cape Cod- Pleasant Bay side of Nauset Beach National Seashore.

I shot two doubles today.
First double was with my 10 gauge Parker Grade 1 32 inch Twist Steel barrel hammer gun using RST #2 Bismuth loads.
That's the gun in my hands.
Second double was with my Repro SSS with a single shot from the IC right barrel. #2 Fasteel 3 inch loads. Charlie retrieved the hen first and then went back for the drake that was trying to dive away.

Nice shooting buddy. I spied the ever present cigar which I'm sure was'nt there shooting the doubles. Who are the other two gents in the pic?

Is that a weight on that guy's auto or is it the magazine?

Dean I have no idea. I offered my sss to each of them when their guns jammed. They were too shy to take the offer.

Or didn't want to admit the fact that you had a far superior gun.

I honestly believe they were unsure of what to do with a double.
