My buddy Dave with a nice ruffed grouse from yesterday's wander on the mountain.  Dave moving in on a point...resulting in one or more trees shot and a bird that will live another day.

Hey all, well we switched gears today and went ducking hunting, should have gone pheasant hunting instead! Not much flying today where we were at. Few in the morning, but all high or going out. Oh well, that's the name of the game! I managed two and Will one, but his was lost, into the weeds. Number One Son, Will and his trusty Fabarm:  My Merkel 147E and a nice Butterball drake and Gadwall:  Best! Greg

Hi all, went out today for a couple hours with my daughter Jo. Hunted around home here. Nice day, but very warm. I was able to limit and Jo got 1. Good day to be out with one of my daughters. Jo was using her 12ga Tristar Brittany:  I used my 12b John Blanch:  Best! Greg

Nice Greg. Does Jo need an O/U or auto that fits her better than a gun for a male?

 ( first picture post hope this works! ) Took this old girl out on the first day of the pheasant season when i went for a walk. Did not see anything but i will take it out again on some driven days. This gun has a special place in my cabinet, not only was it a gift from a very nice elderly gent, but its a gun from a local maker in North Yorkshire, and the first ever gun i restocked It was pain staking and took me a very long time with very few tools and i discovered stocking as a passion. Its not perfect granted, the chequering pattern is completely wrong and the over all look would be improved just by changing that but other than that i am proud of my work, the in letting is very good especially considering the tools i had. It was done three seasons ago when i was 17.  Me shooting two seasons ago with the same gun. ( looking like i had to wax the inside of the jacket to fit in it, happily lost some poundage since! )

Just returned from my Fall Canada trip. Lots of Ducks and Geese; no Huns nor Sharptails...Geo URL=http://s1141.photobucket.com/user/SelbyLowndes/media/Canada 143_zps1a784013.jpg.html]  [/URL]
 RECIPE: 1/2 cup olive oil,1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2/3 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper,4 cloves garlic minced, 1/3 cup brown sugar, dash or two of tabasco. Mix together and marinate duck overnight. Preheat oven to 450. place ducks skin side down in roasting pan. Roast on middle rack for 10 minutes. Flip ducks over roast until skin is crispy. About 5 to 8 minutes. Most important thing about this recipe is to cut out the backbone of the duck after picking so that the bird will lie flat in the roasting pan.

A Robust kind of morning.  Went for a quick outing this morning on the public ground behind the house I had a good wind and tide, picked up five teal, a widgeon and a mallard. A young fellow walked out for the last hour with me and picked up four teal and pintail and a goose over my dekes and Trooper my GWHP did a yeoman job collecting them for us.

Demonwolf, nice job on the old gun and welcome aboard to the site.
Greg, I am suffering a reoccurring dose of gun envy every time I see your Blanch.
Oskar, nice bag of ducks with the Robust.
George, pass me a duck. It looks great. Billy just got back from Saskatchewan with a load of duck, too. I need to put a Canadian waterfowl hunt on my Ducket list. Gil
