3 Frame 32" BHE - Blooded
I was very fortunate to acquire from a friend, #200784 a 1922 BHE 32” F/F pistol grip splinter DT on the coveted (for myself and many other waterfowl enthusiasts) Heavy 3 frame.
Our second season opened this past Saturday in Western New York and the Vanderbilt marsh presented many opportunities. I took the BHE on my maiden voyage and blooded it properly with 2 Big Black ducks and 2 Drake mallards. – a fitting start to what I hope will be a long relationship on late season plumbed up big ducks. Kent Matrix 1 3/8 oz. 2 ¾” # 5 took them down.
I have some special (to me at least) guns, but this one ranks very near the top!
Thanks again Bob J. - I thought of you often during my hunt!
