Opening day was somewhat fruitful. Thought I had a double until one flew off when the dog got close to it. This is a DH10 that I had restored awhile back. I am going to put some before and after pics on the restoration forum when I get a chance.

Nice going Kurt, I had forgotten about sky carp season. Is that what you used for the pigeon shoot?

No, I used a GHE 12 gauge.

I call it the beater because of what it looked like for several years of shooting it.
1 1/8oz of #2 Nice Shot.

I'm not even going to comment, I'm still mad at you for saying you aren't going to Michigan Duck Hunters. Blah....

Pretty gun you have there Kurt. Good to be going home with some food for the table. Glad you had a good day.

Nice job Kurt! I don't know how much the folks here know about Kurts duck calls but they are absolutely gorgeous and have the perfect pitch for mallards in my book. I tried a bunch of calls and most seem to sound like a squealing pig compared to what I finally got from Kurt. It's likely the last call I'll ever have to buy.

I agree. Mine sounds great. Don't need a full choke. With Kurt's call, Cyl or IC is fine!

Yup, Kurt Densmore's duck calls work as well as any of those from the big names!

Figured I'd see some of you boys out at the Michigan Duck Hunters swap meet on Saturday. I knew Kurt had a wedding so he did have an excuse. The event was well attended, I bought a booth and put out a load of various junk. Sales were brisk, I even sold a couple guns. Didn't buy much, a case of trap loads and a few other oddments. The highlight was a cool hand made duck boat paddle from the famous John Kalash.

Destry - I haven't attended that meet for years, but it used to be a good show. I was entered in a two-day sporting clays tournament with my grandsons and Son-In-Law.
