An excellent blind retrieve on a hen wood duck (1 of 5 taken by the three of us today). He is really responding well to voice commands this year



Todays tally was brought to you by Frank Cronin, Scott Kittredge and myself.

that is one good looking retriever, bet he ( it is a he?) shoots good. Frank picked up another woody after lunch so 6 geese 6 ducks

That's right six geese, I lost count when they fell like rain.

You're right Pete, it was a great day! Couldn't ask for better weather and great shooting.

Here's a few additional pictures.

Short 10 gauge Parkers and Lefever.

Parker 34" D grade 5 frame hammer gun; Parker EH; and Lefever G grade.

While sitting in the blind, all morning we saw quite a few crows in the sky. After the goose hunt, we figured it was also a good day to give those crows some Parker and Lefever medicine too....

[StubTwist]

We didn't manage much luck busting crows although Scott did hit one while we were walking out from our Woodie hunt.

All 20 gauges were used. Scott was equipped with his 30" VH, I used my LC Field grade with 30" barrels ejector gun, and Pete used a 20 gauge with a unusual barrel orientation....

Been a long time since I shot a duck with my Miroku Charles Daly 20 ga o/u. A gun I have had for 32 years. It was a wood duck killing machine back in the day with 1 ounce of lead #6. They are a lot of gun for the money.

Nice hunt guys! That bearded retriever may need some correction with the shock collar, wouldn't want him to get distracted.

But look at the fine lines and the way he works. He works hard to please his hunting partners.

Will someone kindly ask the "Retriever" when we're going to see that Sterly
32- incher in action???
