In a low country boil, I cook the shrimp separately to avoid overcooking. I also immediately chill to prevent "overcooking" which makes it the devil to remove the shells. It only takes two minutes to cook shrimp in boiling water. If the shrimp is not to be immediately eaten, after cooking and fast chilling in a bucket of ice water, I keep it chilled in an ice cooler with frozen plastic water bottles rather than ice which would melt and make the shrimp soggy. Why the trouble? Years ago at the Beaufort (SC) Water Festival, the low country shrimp was kept warm for several hours before serving to the thousands of attendees. Over a hundred folks came down with diarrhea and stomach aches after eating the shrimp.

I can personally vouch for Gil's expertise in all matters related to a low country boil.

Hi all, went out after work today, by myself, and was able to limit in less than an hour. I used my 12b F.A. Anderson, the old girl barked 3 times and 3 birds fell. A good day. Raina worked well, getting better with each hunt. I'll tell you all something, I thank God everyday that I'm able to live where I do!

The gun and the birds:



My partner for the day:



Best to all!

Greg

Just bringing this thread back to the top. Our 1st phase dove season ended last weekend, and I got around to the early teal opportunity this morning. Season goes out tomorrow.

Comedy of errors. boat motor had been sitting up and was balky to start until I ran it out a while. The water was up a foot or two. Two piece galvanized pipe for the spinning wing was a little short and when I didn't push it in to the mud far enough in 9 feet of water it fell over and was lost. At least I had not put the mojo teal in it. Decoy lines were too short and decoys departed before daylight and had to be retrieved and placed in shallower water.

No Teal at all on my lake. A few woodies buzzed the decoys but aren't legal yet. I had one black bellied tree duck come by but let it pass as well.

On the way in I stopped the boat to try out my new electric motor I bought in June and hadn't used yet. First time I pulled the release cord the knot from the factory failed. I manually released the latch and put the motor over the front of the boat. It locked in place and i couldn't figure out how to manually release it without the cord. Just took it off the mount and put it in the bottom of the boat in order to load up.

I spent the afternoon putting everything right and now I'll be ready for the real duck season in November!...Geo

I went out bird hunting this afternoon, chased up eight grouse and managed to bag three.

It's an Ugartechea. The Spanish make very nice guns.
