Some of the funnest duck hunting I've ever done was jump shooting along a small creek near my little log cabin in south central Alaska. I knew where the wide spots were that they liked and I'd sneak up on my belly and jump them. I also floated the creek in my canoe with my VHE20 beside me. I'd come around the bends and they'd go straight up. Very fun shooting. Once I tipped the canoe over leaning to shoot and lost the gun in 6ft of water and had to strip and dive for it. THAT was cold I can tell you. I'd pull out at a fish hatchery, leave the canoe in the bushes and hitchhike back to my truck with the open gun over one shoulder and ducks over the other. Guys would screech to a halt to give me a ride. You gotta love this place. Unfortunately, some of those ducks would be eating salmon eggs in that creek and stunk up the place pretty good during cooking and tasted pretty nasty....
