most duck hunters I know are lucky to limit out with a box of shells! ha ha!
I stopped hunting in merrymeeting bay when they went to steel shot! It was amazing to see you sky busters and the cripples you left! I must admit my dad was an excellent wing shot and one of the best I ever hunted with! I realize ducks are hard to bring down ;but I seldom needed
a second shot! my favorite gun was an ethica dbl 20 gauge! I DIDN'T NEED A 10GA. OR 12 GA. I just waited till they were in range! I enjoyed teal hunting for sport! I had a good friend from
pennsylvania who loved to duck hunt;like most duck hunters he couldn't hit a partridge in the air! in fact often he didn't get a shot off! guess that's why he duck hunted!
ha ha 10 for 10 on dove,10 for 10 on quail,9 for 10 on partridge and I never took more than 10 shells when I went duck hunting!
I might add I qualified expert with all weapons in the military! my weapon of choice to protect my home =a dbl barrel 20 gauge with a 44 mag to disable the block of the survivors get away vechicle! while I reload with #3 buckshot! of course mama is quite able with her 20 ga. auto and her 9mm !and I'm sure the dog will greet them at the door!
