I love your decoy , been using a few of its newer cousin's .

Deer hunter got me to using Bismuth #9's drop from a 3/4 oz charge bar yields 5/8 oz pushed to 1450 fps+ and Ducks and Coots fold up lick an according.

I set up a 12 GA. SXS Ernst Thallman took the chokes out to .020-.020 soldered up the hook and put it back on face , painted it up like an Apache and been shooting #7 and #7 1/2 Steel shot and know what it poleaxes ducks and Coots ( I use this when I am shooting lots of shots at Coots , lots cheaper than Bismuth , use that in the 16's when shooting ducks only . )

Hello Ted I am having Darn withdrawal , until I go to shooting the Spanish guns then the pains go away.

Merry Xmas Everyone.

Regards Nick

Merry Christmas!

Love the cameo appearance of the .300 Savage box. I'm a firm believer that when the 16ga isnt enough, the .300 Savage is up to the task.

Savage 99s and 16ga shotguns....this is what is on my list to Santa!

FTF - great picture . I wonder what that decoy is thinking about inside , being warm and NOT having to work against his bretheren !! Posh desk job ! Happy Holidays to all and be safe ! ... about the Darne . We had one at the local shop , drop back action with the themb flaps . The ONLY thing I didn't like about it , was that the FP's were out as the action closed and I couldn't see where they retracted . A little spooky to me even if they did work correctly .

Thank you and Merry Christmas! Love the vintage shell boxes, they bring back memories of the hunting we used to do during the holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all and good health in the coming year.
May your legs be as iron, your lungs as leather and may your shooting be true and your dogs amaze all who witness their skill.

+1 It all brings back fond memories of the past with long deceased relatives and friends but Danny, you hit a nerve with Savage 99's and 16's.

Christmas Joy to all from gumbo mud Louisiana,
