I hear you on the canoe ride thing. I lost a very nice Daly O/U off my canoe gunnels in a 6ft deep pool in a creek up here in late September once. Had to strip down and dive for it... Oh boy! I did some serious runnin around and dancing when I got out. Didn't hurt the gun at all. Just had to take it apart and dry it out. I'd put in and float this small creek jumping mallards then take out on a downstream road crossing and hitch hike a few miles back to my truck. I can tell you there's no faster way to get a ride up here than to walk down the road in hip boots with a pack full of ducks and shotgun broken open over your shoulder. Met some nice folks that way. I just hope that none of them went to where I told them I got the ducks, which was never 'quite' where I actually got them...!

It's a very productive relaxing hunt.... but can get dicey in those snags. Congratulation on the 50 dollar band I was luck a couple years ago and shot a 100 dollar duck, it's probably the only duck I ever ate that didn't cost 20 dollars a pound.
Cheers Bob

Bob, I shoot venison that costs 10X the price of your duck meat...

Bob,
Did you buy this gun from Robbin Hollow? Great looking gun, I love the high flat ribs but you don't see them very often.

Yes Chris, the gun was bought by a friend and sold to me about a year latter. It had too many features to ignore one being it fits me very well and I think the Parker full checkered ball grip is a marvel.
