LC Smith 10 gauge

I had the chance to hunt Remington Farms several times in the 60's, when my Dad was a director at Remington. Hunting geese over "The Feathers" (stuffed taxidermy geese) was a real kick

Funny you should bring up "stuffers" as we call them around here. I have 2 dozen which I use on those bluebird days when the decoying is tough. Add a flag to the setup and the odds tilt in your favor a bit. I'd be willing to bet your dad and I probably had some friends in common. Small world, is'nt it?

Did they have the mirror blinds when you were there ?

Or was that John Olin's Nilo Farms that had the mirror blinds back in the 60's and 70's ?

Didn't see mirror blinds at Remington. Had a chance to shoot at Nilo in the mid 70's. The duck shooting was really lame. They had trained a bunch of mallards to fly from their pen to the water. You stood with your back to the water, and it didn't matter what you did, or what you were wearing, those birds were making a bee line to the water (and corn) Not very elegant.
