Uh..... That would be me. Things have been real busy around here lately, but really REALLY wanted to go duck hunting this morning. Had to be in Houston yesterday, and at the office Monday, so today was it. Packed up my stuff last night, stuffed the black SBE in the case, briefly considered taking the camo SBE, haven't hunted with it at all this year. NAw... I'll just have to strip it and clean it, I'll use the black one again.
Fast forward to this morning, get up at 3 am, drive to Hackberry, meet partner, drink coffee, load the boat and make the 20+ minutes open water ( very shallow today ) run to the blind. Get there, transfer stuff to the blind -RATZ forgot my calls, that is half the fun of duck hunting!
But wait, my shells won't fit the magazine.... Hmmmm try the breech, no luck, the shells are too big..... I got rid of all the 10 gauge shells, had that happen a few years ago.... get light, light is always good. AHA.... problem identified, but not curable, I have 12 gauge shells, but somehow picked the 20 gauge SBE out of the rack.....
Oh well, it was nice watching the sunrise, watching Tony hit a Scotch double on the first two teal, and Rita ( the once lost now found Lab ) make a Looonnggg retrieve on a drake pintail.
No pics, forgot the camera too......
Think I can color code buttstocks - green for 12, red for 20..... lose all 16, 10 and 28 units.....
