Default Don't have my Parker back but I still went hunting.

The boys and I finished up the season out here, hunted mostly with my LC Smith my AYA and my Beretta.

I cant wait to get my Parker back from Kody and get some non toxic shells loaded up for it for next season, that little 16 is going to get a work out next season!!

My Chessie Whistler with a huge drake canvasback


My buddy Chip with a pile of birds



Whistler with a fat mallard the final day of the season



My buddy Tom with the morning take last week, he was raised on Kodiak Island and work for Fish and Game as a boat Captain, you should hear some of his stories about that place!!



My two boys with the results of Sundays final hunt.


I shot several birds with my AYA sxs shooting Remington #4 steel.
The gun is choked IC and Mod , it patterns these loads very well.

Last but not least my boat has an oven in it , nothing like hot cookies while you out hunting!!

Cans and Redheads are my favorite birds to hunt, and darn good eating also!!

I can't wait to get my Parker back , I plan on trying to harvest all our local duck species with it next season.

Man that is a heap of slick heads! I've killed quite a few widgeon in my life but have never been in what I'd call a proper "slick head shoot".

MH never heard the term "slick" heads for widgeon, but I love it!!

They can be a very hard bird to shoot some days, they get to about 70 yards and do what we call the widgeon freak out. Other days they drop right in.

One dim days or against a hillside dotted with snow the first thing you see
on the drakes is that white stripe on the forehead
We also call them cotton tops , robbers, and pie balds.

The other things we call them I can''t type here

I picked that local name up from some Mississippi River hunter friends ands always liked it. Robber and Baldpate are other old time named I've heard guys say. I had a memorable moment with a big drake widgeon over in Canada this year. Whistled him right into the blocks and made a one shot kill.

I did get into the European Widgeons pretty good one night in Scotland several years back. Another moment to remember.

I had a Eurasian widgeon in the decoys one day, but had just set up on an afternoon hunt and didn't have a gun out yet!!

He was 25 yards away swimming around the decoys, thats the only one I have ever seen in 40 years of hunting
