Default Ole Miss Canvasbacks

Just got back from pool nine on the Mississippi river. Had a few good days, mainly Canvasbacks and Bluebills. Lots of people arriving at ridiculously early times at the ramps, but that’s the story with public waterfowl hunting. Pictured here are a couple cans and my 12 gauge, 3 frame DHE. I would love to find a 10 gauge set of barrels for this gun. Happy hunting.

I sold the last set of 12 gauge three frame barrels I had a couple months ago . But I can hook you up with a very nice DH 10 gauge three frame 32” gun .

I have a letter for it and it matches. 8 lb 12 ounces. 30" Damascus barrels. 13 3/4" LOP. Ejectors. Not much else in the letter.

I have a Model 21 Duck that has a bit shorter stock like this one - I saw some old advertisements from Winchester that said they made the Duck 21s short because they anticipated hunters bundling up for cold weather and needing a bit shorter stock.

This Parker has similar dimensions. I don't think it has been refinished but I am no expert. Does have some colors left on the frame, etc.

I'd love to get up to Saskatchewan someday for waterfowl. I have heard some good stories about great hunting. Season starts Saturday here in Ohio, but I travel for ducks. I generally migrate right along with them! HA

The waterfowl hunting is very good for the most part the snow geese are the main target Sept 1 -oct 15 ish then they move on
i don't hunt them
big canadas and ducks i have 2 no 2 parker's and 1 1/2 parker's 12 ga and a few small gage guns
As mentioned my preference is large canadas
