Default Give em both barrels

I spent a couple of summers working at Barrow in the 1970's. There was a major " duck camp" at the base of the spit that hosted about 50 hunters , mostly with Browning Auto 5 Magnums, behind sheets of plywood that served as blinds. Eiders rafted on the open water that eddyed on the Arctic Ocean side of the spit.
The hunters would lie down behind the blinds. Two boys with side by sides with triggers taped together, would stalk out the beach to two other blinds. The boys would aim at the center of the flock, and on a signal fire both barrels. The wind was steady, and the flock always flew over the blinds. 50 Auto 5's would be emptied, and occassionally a duck fell.

Best, Austin
