Heck of a hunt for your first time. Congrats. I do have a question for you. You didn't grow up duck hunting, so what is it that got you into duck hunting this year? I'm just wondering what it is that gets someone later in life to take up the sport, especially when it isn't family or friend that gets them involved. Just curious.
If you can't lick your own, you can't sit on the dog stand!

Congratulations ! Look like some mighty fine ducks there ! Just out of curiousity can you share what gun , size and choke you used ? I'm kinda in the market for a set of chokes for a Remington 870 Express 12-ga , 28" barrel . It comes with a mod choke but looking to get a Full and IC .

I've always loved the outdoors and fished a lot. Earlier this year my Dad had a major heart attack we almost lost him and a few weeks later he had a stroke and my whole family work a lot including a lot of weekends so we all decided we are going to try and enjoy life more and make more memories. We always talked about going hunting so we planned a duck hunt also going to try and go on a pig hunt as well.

I used a Berreta a300 shooting 3 inch shells the shot was 4 as far as the choke I didn't switch them out I used what came in it from the factory I asked the guide what to use and he told me most of his guns he's never even messed with it he uses whatever comes with it
