Default Good News.....

Heard from Nathan yesterday that this early cold weather has brought the bluebills and redheads down a bit early. I've got to work tonight but am meeting him at the shack at noon tomorrow for an afternoon hunt then shooting again on Sunday.

I'm crossing my fingers that the Swamp Angel will get her first chance out on the divers!!!

So much to do, gotta hit the grocery and liquor stores for supplies, make sure my wader patching job held, pack the truck, sort my cartridge bag out......

Save me some Destry! You should see all the geese ducks and swans here in northern Canada!! Some grain and pea fields have hundreds in them. A few have had thousands... snows, Canadians, and more mallards than you can imagine.

More redheads than I've ever seen in my life, just clouds of them all over the lake. We weren't quite on the X for Saturday afternoon but still had a decent shoot. Sunday was an absolute bang up, redhead limits all around and a few bluebills. Actually we finally gave up trying to finish limits Sunday because we weren't seeing anything but red and we all already had our four.

The Swamp Angel proved to be just as good a diver gun as it is a puddle duck piece. Killed two bluebill in one shot which is always something to be remembered.

If I'd have killed another one with my second barrel maybe, unfortunately I was so rattled when two fell that I missed with the left.

Eric,

I'm beginning to hate you too.
