I opened duck with my VHE 16 gauge 32" SG DT Splinter FF 1 1/2 frame. I was in a nice pond and my Parker shot where I looked. It was the first Vanderbilt marsh hunt for my pup Ellie - she made 12 retrieves out of 13 attempts - 1 nice deep one in the cattails all the way across the pond. I was proud of her. Pleasant in the boat. It was a wonderful day for her to learn. Looking forward to many more.
