You shot an old squaw in your first year hunting ?.... Don't even talk to me............ Just teasing, congrads on your success. And yes ! I have not shot one yet ! But heck I've only been doing this for over 40 years. When I was hunting outside old squaws were rare, recently they have been on the comeback. That and an adult pinner are very high on my list.

1) The return of common sense 2) The return to traditional american family values 3) The return to the princible of self reliance 4) The return to legislatures serving the people instead of their party

In addition to just being out in the fields like farmers do, there are several large potholes...

Look around and see what the birds you are hunting are doing, On the lake I hunt the birds have been sitting in groups 18 or less so I have been putting out 10 or 12 decoys. I like putting out just a few less then what the birds are sitting in. Mojos... this time of year ducks have seen thousands of set ups, and Mojo is not...

I've been using 3" BC #3s this season, and I like them. Do they kill birds deader than regular steel? Nope. Just as dead. I don't find them to be extra dirty, my Beretta Extrema seems to have no problems with them and I've never gotten powder burns. The pellet wounds from the razor edges are impressive, so if you have a single pellet hit with one of them, it's much more likely to be lethal. Are they worth the extra...

i like having 2 one man boats we set pretty big spreads most of the time. (shallow water) at least 300 decoys we try to look as much like a raft as possible. a layout on both sides of the spread covers about every thing. here is a pic from opener the boats are a little closer than usual because we had a wind change and were shooting ducks on a slight cross wind witch works well to.
