AAHE in the Vanderbilt Marsh
We are able to hunt the Marsh now. The drought had us closed for the first time in memory for opening day/week. But once again we are back for decoying ducks in the Montezuma wetlands complex!
Attached a few pictures you may enjoy. The first and most prominent - VMC member Rick Simmonds shot his AAHE with success! The attached pictures do not due justice to the gun but you can see great photos of it in the "Feathered Lightning-Pink Dawn" DGJ article fall 2013 -by Craig Larter - Also more on this site by searching that same title in the general discusssions.
Many of you are aware we have some special Parkers (and other American doubles) throughout the VMC, but this is the first time a AAHE has been in the marsh! All of our guns will be hunted at one time or another - it one of the traditions that we work hard to keep alive - It's still more about "How" not so much about "How many"
More to come throughout the season..........
