Those are the flooded backwaters of the L 'Anguille River in eastern Arkansas, Charlie. I love swamps anywhere, tho'. Mountains are majestic, and huge prairies, too. But swamps refuel my "soul".

The BSS 12 is not my first choice for a dove gun, preferring smaller bores most of the time, but there's no arguing it's effectiveness on them.



And, woodies .....

Shot a few clays with it over the weekend at my place in N/C Missouri.....

Hit 25 straight with the last box of shells, once I got used to it. Granted this bird thrower isn't as challenging as your normal trap field is, but hitting is still a lot better than missing...

Gun has a 14.5" LOP which fits me quite nicely......

Can't wait to try it on ducks this fall.

It wasn't just breaking the clays it was smashing them. 7.5 Top Gun Federals.

Can't wait to try it on decoying mallards.

Joe, I believe that the BSS 12 ga. is the easiest gun to shoot well, from the start, that I have ever used. Glad it's working for you. Watch out ducks.

Almost has me thinking a 20ga would be nice to have...

I don't currently have a 20ga SxS, been looking a long time, they always either seem to be out of my budget, or not quite the gun I am ready to jump on.

Part of the fun is the hunt though.
