This Saturday Aug. 5th is the WWA sponsored Washington duck calling contest in Orting, WA. Prizes for each category. Live auction includes an e- collar. Lots of fun. Don't miss the Coot toss for mad money$$$.
They might have found some other markings or genetic markers. I was with a Waterfowl biologist lately banding in WA and they are super observant looking at the birds.
I have been using a SBE3 for 3 years. Great gun for ducks. I use my over under for Upland. SBE3 is too much barrel for walking around. They are light and nice to swing. I also bought a A300 for my son this last year and I like that equally but I haven't hunted it , just clays so far. My son did...
This move really affected me. The old tradition of getting out on the first weekend was stopped. I still go but the tradition is not the same. Changed who is in the woods first for big game seasons too.
I use IC in the first barrel and modified in the second for pheasants. Lead shot 5 and 4 respectively. It took me years to get this. I read a book where it was explained that birds shot over pointers are usually very close. Game changer for me for sure. Grouse I use skeet/ic, #7/ 6 shot
