Ducks

[Brett Trimble]

The ducks are starting to arrive along the Colorado River zone where I hunt. Managed a limit last night with a “new to me” grade 3, 12ga with 32” barrels and Boss shells. Great fun!

I agree with Andy — beautiful photo. Nature paints with a sure and sometimes subtle hand. Thanks for posting.

Excellent pic!

Gadwalls are usually great tablefare. I once slow grilled two, planning on having one for lunch and the other for supper. Well ............ let's just say I didn't have any left for supper. And ........ I didn't want any supper, either.

Thanks to all for the kind words. Hard not to get a good photo when the subjects are a Parker (or a Fox!) and a drake Gadwall.

Charlie, our duck shooting is nothing like it once was but if you’d ever like to come out I can guarantee a true wilderness experience in an incredibly beautiful place - and if things work out, some decent duck shooting. :)

What is the shot made from in those Boss shells?

[Brett Trimble]

Frank,

Boss shells use bismuth shot.

Nice gray duck. You down in Texas?

[Brett Trimble]

Thanks Jeff,

Nope, this was north of Yuma Az on the Colorado River.

I always forget about that Colorado river since the one in Texas is right by my beach house. Still a very well plumed gray duck.

Really nice picture. I'd probably have a print made and hang it somewhere.
