Great shooting Destry!

Nice Destry!

Destry -

In my humble opinion few hunting situations will ever be more pure than a double on decoying ducks - A double and a half...........:bowdown:

Mark I've got to agree, I can't imagine much that I like more.

I've done the triple with a double only a few times, and never before on mallards.

Once on greenwing teal, once on geese (hard to believe I know), and once on ringnecks.

Good shootin' DH. The only double I ever scored was on geese. Jumped a pair at about 30 yards with the canoe. As they struggled to get airborn I picked up the VH 12 loaded with a couple 1oz Black Cloud #5s. When they were up into ground (water surface) effect and striving to gain speed and altitude, sort of like one of Bruce's Heavies trying to get to thin air where it can thrive, I swung on the lead beak and let go, let the other catch up and did the same. Both dead on the water.

Destry -

I have been blessed with more than my share of doubles on game birds. I have had numerous "willys" (2 birds with one shot) also - BUT I am still in serach of the elusive Double and a half or Double double :rolleyes:

Good News is - the duck opener is tomorrow morning! - and I will be dreaming about one tonight :p
