A Fox and Remington go duck hunting

[J.B. Books]

Today, 11/15, was the opening of the 2nd half of the duck season in coastal New Hampshire. Our weather has been rather mild and frankly I didn't expect much of any action on the brackish waters this morning. Scott took his 32" Fox Sterlingworth and got his first duck with it, a green head that came in at legal shooting time. Later in the morning I bagged a Canada goose and then a Black duck with my trusty Rem '94 AE 10ga. We had a visitor join us briefly, who flew over our heads at 15 feet before landing in a tree, a Great Blue Heron. We heard some distant shooting but didn't see anyone else out. This season is off to a much better start than last fall, which was the worst we have seen in 40 years of doing this around here. Maybe next time one of us will use a Parker hehe.
