Hi all, well today was our 2012 duck/goose opener. We had a very good shoot, limited out in about an hour and 45 minutes. We mostly got teal, gadwalls and a couple mallards. Eric my nephew was visting from Utah, he didn't shoot, but was our photographer, one of out better openers. Me with my Bernadelli Italia hammergun: Jim with his Mossberg 500 Regal (I know, a pumpgun!!!!): Will without his Fabarm Beta Classis he used today: Me and my boys: All the best! Greg

Let me tell all of you, the old professor shoots real good. He must have been a terror when he was a youngster, like maybe sixty or seventy.
Nice photo of him Darly. Give him my best and call when you all get to town in a couple of weeks.

A goose with a Purdey hammer pigeon gun. Too cool! They are fun to shoot, but it was also great introducing these guys to hammerguns. One guy was busy taking pictiures while another asked if he could keep a 2 1/2" shell since he'd never even seen one.

Hi all, well today was the second day of our waterfowl season, not as good as opening day, very cold in the morning and very dense fog that din't burn off until late. It was a blue bird day by mid morning. We still limited out, except Jim, he only got two, mostly because the ducks didn't go over or by this blind, he didn't want to move when Will and I were done. Anyway, here's some pics Me and my Bernadelli Italia: The Bernadelli: Will with his Fabarm Beta Classis. Will shot one his grouse as it flew over the decoys!!! A bunch flew over and Will was on the ball. The other he got when trying to jump some ducks. He had a GREAT day!!!: Jim and his "Pump": Me and my sons with the days bag: All the best! Greg

Looks like you knocked the heck out of them Greg! Tell Jim he would have shot a limit if he did not use that contraption. My weekend went well. Yesterday I shot a limit of huns and sharptail. Today though was kind of a special one, as I shot another limit of sharptail on a walk with my year old wire hair pup. She pointed a covey which I doubled on and then she pointed a group of three more birds which I then shot one more for my limit. She also pointed a pheasant on the way back, and found a downed bird for one of my friends. I am very happy with her and can't wait to see how she progresses with some more training!

Way to go Wade!!! Glad you guys did well and thanks for the kind words! I'll tell Jim that, guess I'll just have to beat it into that thick skull of his! Happy to hear that your pup did so well! Lots of good hunting to look forward to with her, looks like she'll turn out to be a first rate hunter. Congrats on the double! They sure are fun to make.
Hope we'll do just as well later this week!
Be Good!
Greg

My first woodcock of the season. I was particularly excited as it was shot with the 1873 Purdey that Tony so expertly restored.
