Thanksgiving Day Duck Hunt.
 
2 Attachment(s)
I finally have the crops out and ground worked, so I was able to get out
for the first time this year jump shooting ducks. The ducks are pretty scarce
on the ditches here. I walked three ditches before I got a chance at these two.
The gun is a VH two frame with 30" barrels. The shells were Kent Impact TM
5's with fiber wads.

Great pictures.

Brings back memories of thirty or more years ago when a friend would drive over the mountains to our place and he and I and my two sons would hunt ducks over Thanksgiving weekend. Did that for several years. Thinking about it makes me want to start duck hunting again, I quit when steel shot was mandated because I couldn't shoot it in my doubles. The kids bought me 8 pounds of Bismuth shot many years ago but at that time there was no low pressure loading data. Maybe I'll look around and see what I can find for data.

Thanks for the wonderful memories.

Theres plenty of bismuth data available. I think BPI has data books or tables on all gauges and many of the guys here on the forum will have some.

Nice shooting Kent. I'm going out tomorrow morning. Hope to find some ducks.

Well done Jeff.
Charlie and I went out for roosters but got thwarted by the tall corn.

You need to talk to the tenant about getting that corn picked!

Those Kent shells are simply murder.

Really like that halfgrip on your gun.

Daniel,

They are hard to come by in a 2 frame gun. My favorite type of stock.
