I don't take The Preacher or the Swamp Angel to 3rd world countries. Just too much there to lose.

Yes I’d have loved to take my VHE 16 skeet to Argentina last week but after having done it once , if I ever do it again I’m shooting their autoloaders exclusively .

I don't think you can get 16 gauge shells in Argentina anyway. I know several people who have asked.

They claimed to have 12-16-20-28 and 410 where we were last week ! They even had a A-5 Sweet Sixteen if I’d been so inclined to shoot 16’s !

When we went many year ago, the shells were so dirty they jammed the autoloaders

Destry, did you find any info from the band data on that duck?

Yes that was the understanding thirtyfive or so years ago when I first thought about going . But everything I set off last week were relatively clean .

The bluebill was banded in 2021 in Montana of all places.
