Default First Wood Duck

My son got his first wood duck yesterday. He shot ducks of other species but this is the first wood duck. They flew well and it was a great morning. He shot my Fox BE 12 gauge with 28” barrels. I shot my HE Super Fox finally fixed by Dan May (5 trips to other master gunsmiths prior)

Kudos to your son...and to you for taking him.

Nice shooting young man. Wood ducks are a true prize.

Congrats to Harry. He is ahead of me. I've never shot a Canvasback or Blue Wing Teal either.
