Montezuma report
Craig and I have been banging away at the marsh. The birds continue to be few and far between. We had a couple big days the best of which saw my friend shoot 8 ducks with 7 shells and 3 doubles in a row! He had just returned from a DU trip that was not as productive as he had hoped for and needed to shoot his gun. Lets just say he was "focussed"!
Here is a picture I took Saturday of a really fully Plumbed up grey duck (gadwall). Its been years since I have seen one that looked this nice. Took a quick photo on the back of the boat as the sun was in my favor. "The 1910 16 ga. 32" straight grip 1 1/2 frame VHE ("Nightmare") brought him down hard.
