Canvasbacks

[Richard Flanders]

I think it's some kind of magic embedded in the gun myself. I made what was far and away my best ever shot on a duck with that big Can. Screaming crossing shot. I swung fast the entire length of the boat, causing the guide in the bow to drop like a stone to the deck as I swung over him and shot. I hit the bird dead center of pattern. You should see his other side; wasn't even salvageable it was so shot up. My other Can shot with Destry was a high bird straight up that everyone just watched go over, thinking it was too high. I swung my 32" hammer gun and down he came right beside the boat! I've had some great hunts over in Canada with Destry. Brought home some nice batches of fresh perch filets too. Doesn't get much better than that.
