canvasback, I have been wondering if the shrub use is a seasonal thing. I guess I'll find out. Gus has been released from critical care and is now cleared for low-level missions (e.g., duck hunting), but we will be primed and ready in no time. Looks like the weekend before Thanksgiving is going to be the plan. I already have a valid hunting license in my pocket.

Sounds like late season birds will be best matched with tight chokes and maybe largish shot to buck the wind, more than penetrate the beast.

I'm pretty sure we won't get lost, but we may not come back. smile
