I've only got 36 silhouettes and 12 wind socks . Guess I need to add some more 😉

I may have this all wrong as I just started chasing the big gray birds this year . But FOR ME if I don't shoot them with one of my old doubles I'm not overly interested . Nothing against other folks using whatever and I applaud them , just saying for me the charge seems to be in using my old guns .

I haven't killed a duck or goose with anything but a vintage gun in 20 years. If it weren't for the old iron, I'd have probably given up the sport actually.

Sweet! That would make a good Parker Pages story.
