Default FROZEN-Last call take two

Mark Kircher and I broke ice today to get to the ducks so we could exercise our Parkers . We had our birds in 20 minutes---must have been 500 in a little hole in our very frozen marsh. Lots of work but a life time memory. Mark was shooting his beautiful 12ga Trojan and I had my CHE 12ga Bernard 30" #2 frame.

Looks like a lot of fun. I would much prefer ice and freezing weather to warm weather. The gators were out the other weekend when my son and I were hunting

This is public hunting and they like to stress to not shoot gators or anything else not in season. Fortunately, I did not have to make any big decisions there and hope it stays that way. We were using no. 5's and probably could have used something stronger. Some pretty long shots out there in the Altamaha delta. Nothing like the sun coming up over the marsh.

Craig, that is some nice scenery up there for sure too.

One of the negatives hunting in thick ice is no dogs. It would kill any dog lover to watch a dog drown under the ice and not be able to get to them. My Lucy stays home when the ice is over 1/4".
Charlie Mark shots Kent tm and I shoot handloaded bismuth. No long shots today.

Nice shooting! And fine eating. Congratulations .
I sure have broken my share of ice and replaced more than my share of trailer tail lights but it all was connected to a good days of shooting. We iced up hard here this week and the boat access points were too thick to hack at. So we put the boat up early and stored the blocks and celebrated a year where we shot a lot of birds and never got skunked. I then slept for four days straight!
