Default Red Skies to Redheads

What started out as a beautiful sunrise turned into a great duck hunt. Perfect extra cold conditions with just the right amount of wind. Big group came over screaming, hooked around and buzzed our decoys low. Dad and I ended with our redhead limit. Dunkle made the multiple retrieves. God Bless America!

Thanks, Dean. It’s actually my first Parker with ejectors. Three frame, 12 gauge.

30”. I’d love to find a set of 10 gauge to have fitted on this frame.

Great post , Rick, but you are killing me! You could not have done it with a more handsomely nostalgic duck gun and a more able looking dog, but what really put the sap on my head is that in my c. 57 years of duck hunting, I have NEVER killed a Redhead!! And perhaps the most moving of all for me is that you did it with your Dad!!! "Oh, the humanity!"

Well Kevin, it sounds like you and I need to go hunting! I’ll bring Dad.
When Reds commit it’s as if you are living out a MacQuarrie or Spiller story.
