Cape Cod Eiders

[George M. Purtill Member #28]

A limit of Drake Eiders from Pleasant Bay Chatham/Harwich area on Cape Cod Massachusetts. It was cold end of the season hunting. VH 12 with 28 inch barrels that I salvaged just to use as a duck gun. I actually used to run steel shot handloads through it.
These were shot with RST Nice shot #2.
I wanted to use my 10 gauge Grade 1 hammer but I can't find any non-tox loads or reload any yet. That's for next year I guess.

George you have to edit and 'rotate' them and 'save' them in their proper position.

Thank you Mark Ouellette for the rotation.

Maybe I should use my left hand when I hit the upload button.

George you are welcome. Any Parker deserves to be appreciated! I also edited your photo above to sharpen it a bit. The photo below is the same with different light, or lack thereof...

The guys who left the dock before us were taxidermists from Texas and Arkansas. They wanted Eiders and Buffleheads.
