There were some of the biggest bunches of blue wing teal this morning I have ever seen, and they worked great. First morning was clear with blue skies and no wind. Teal were few. Today there was high clouds and just a little wind, and there were bunches with 100-150 in them. They worked well, and we got good shooting. Left the blind at about 10:00 a.m. with 28. RIO Blue Steel 4s are working really good out of the old 30" BSS.
Thanks for posting that, Gil. We've got one more morning to worry them before heading back to Georgia. Maybe another pic tomorrow.
All my best, SRH

My new (to me) Hatfield Uplander and 7 birds from my first time afield with it (yesterday). One of the early St. Joe, Missouri guns (1987), it's a matched pair of 20 and 28 gauge barrels. I was using the 20 gauge barrels with 7 1/2 Federal dove loads - very effective on doves within range. Pardon the random "GERMANY" hat, I recently returned from working with a Luftwaffe squadron and the guys were amazed we could just go hunting whenever we pleased. So, they sent me back with that hat and specific orders to wear it while hunting.

Welcome aboard on your first post. Nice gun. A leather helmet, goggles and scarf would have been more appropriate gift than a ball cap from the Luftwaffe. Gil

Back home safe. Total tally for three days: 49 blue wings and one Woodrow. Great place to hunt with wonderful accommodations and guides. Anyone interested in the details can p.m. me. Glad to share names and places. Back to work for a bit, now.
All my best, SRH

Looks like you had a great time, Stan. Now, I want to hunt ducks one time in flip flops.
