Fox guns and ducks

[Double Lab]

Spent a couple great days with friends in Rock Hall, MD chasing canada geese. For those of you who might have gone to Hopkin's Sporting clays for the vintagers, it's not far from there. Well we really weren't chasing them, more like sitting and waiting in a blind for them. But they did show up. The first day I always like to hunt with my Dad's Beretta 303 which I had won at a clay shoot 30+ years ago and gave to him because I didn't shoot right handed autoloaders and he really liked it. He hunted with it until his death at 97 so there are plenty of ding and dents to remind me of our hunts together. We limited out by 0830 but the interesting thing was that we were shooting over a pond and these birds presented themselves, wings cupped, at 30yds. Hmmmm. The next day my 30" 20ga sterly made it's way to the blind and although it took a little longer to limit out I waited and got the perfect set and three birds made the mistake of gliding in, wings cupped and necks outstretched. Game over with two shots.
