One great day where all limited out followed by two calm days with few birds flying. I brought enough birds back to make my brother and sister very happy. My sister took a hen mallard we shot this morning from my hands after I plucked and drew it and put it straight into the oven for her dinner. She doesn't share any of the ducks I give her with anyone. I'm back in Michigan none the worse and did a deer hunt as soon as I returned. I got your hulls Don. Thanks much; I can use all I can get. I found that increasing the power charge of Shermans Load #79 to 33 grains gave very good performance and about the cleanest burn I have ever seen. After a box of shells the bores looked nearly mirror and needed only one quick swab with a patch of Ballistol to make them good to go. Tomorrow is pheasants.....
