Big Friend Ten and Mallards
 

I was expecting Canada Geese but a pair of Mallards dropped in to visit my trusty Chesador "Radar", me, and my Big Friend Ten. It's a DH made in 1891 and still doing it's job at 50 yards thanks to #4 Nice Shot. I can now apply for the Parker Doubles pin...

Great pictures mark. I vote for no. 1 & no. 4

Mark, what frame size is that nice DH 10? T.

NICE :bowdown: i do to love my 10 too!!!!!

The dog looks like it does not like having the gun pointed at him or is warning the ducks to lie quietly! :rotf:

Hi Tom,

My BFT is a size 3 frame. It broke a lot of clay targets during the summer.

Mark

richard,

Can't you see! My dog shot the ducks!

Mark

50 yards?:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

Jay,

My laser range find listed 55 yards to a decoy near where I shot the ducks.

I dropped 5 geese in early season at or near the very same spot my spread. Oh, and for those geese I used an LC Smith 12 gauge with 1 & 1/8oz #2 Nice Shot. I shot the ducks with 1 & 3/8oz Nice Shot #4 with my 10 ga. In hindsight I should have used #2's.

I like Nice Shot and love my Big Friend Ten (or BFT for short).

PS: Please don't hate me but I have a decoy spread in my pond which is 20 yards from my front porch.

Mark handles the big 10 ga. guns quite nimbly. I shot with him at Hausman's when he shot "low gun" on Ernie's "hunter's clays" course which simulates ruffed grouse targets - in fact, the flushes and flight paths of the clays were more like those of ruffed grouse than anything else I have experienced. Hausman's is my very favorite course. Mark scored very well on that course with that gun.

Mark,

I want to know and see more about your boat. I am in the midst of a boat build for waterfowl hunting. Mine is, with the stretch of the imagination, going to be similar to a Barnagat Bay sneakbox.

Harry,

The boat in the photos is a 2-man Brant 2-X sculling boat from Lock, Stock and Barrell, of Michigan, www.lockstockbarrell.com

One sculls lying on thier back using a long oar extending from the strern of the boat. I shot a Greenhead a day prior by sculling into range. I would have posted a photo but I used an LC Smith Long Range.

The market hunters of old sculled their punt guns into range...

Mark

Thanks Mark. My boat is much like their Scooter.

Harry

very nice love the scull boat:bigbye:
