Fourth guy from the left has a double. The others are clearly pump guns, apparently Model 12s, possibly 97s, and Auto 5s.

Notice not a single shotgun has a sling that I can see either

Pot shots are still alive and well...

Me and two friends did that last year with snow geese, the kept coming and landing in the edge of the decoys. Shot 9 times and got
43...d2

What???
They didn’t use 3.5” ultra mag heavy duty loads? Tell me it ain’t so.

Nope. Just straight lead. I’d take 2.75” high brass lead over any 3.5” steel they make any day.

Ducks have gotten smarter. We are better hunters now than back then. Well, some of us are.

Just like every thing that survives that people try to kill. Game gets smarter than the ones that die or they all die.
A small sample we have seen over the years is the spinning wing decoy. I’ve seen more ducks in Arkansas flare off a spinner than land over the last 15 years. But I saw some birds a couple weeks ago absolutely land all over one in another state. Those birds hadn’t seen the gauntlet they will by the time they get to Arkansas though.

How many spooners you think they stomped in the mud??? I don’t see a single “trash” duck in the strap... certainly no hoodies there!!!
Straight killas....
I wonder how many days before opener those TUGS had to camp out at the ramp to be on the “X”?

Can't shoot lead? When they change that?

I was a year old when they started that.

So I guess you old when you can remember shooting the old Peter’s paper hull high flyers #4’s out of a Sears and Roebuck Model 300 equipped with a Cutt’s Compensator hanging on the end of the barrel?

The guys I work with say that I’m not young anymore. So you probably don’t fit in the young crowd either. Heck, they don’t even know what sears and Roebuck or Peters are, much less seen them.

 

[randy.shopher]

Heck. Lots of them these days have plenty of knowledge concerning Peters,

No face paint. Wonder how they ever killed one.

Wonder... what kind/how big.. of motor they used back then, to win the race to their "spot" ?

No need for a race, when there is no pressure.

I’m old enough for Sears and Ted Williams brand everything in sporting goods. Don’t know much about MW.

I began duck hunting in 1957 with a Model 12 Nickel Steel 20 ga shooting 2.5 inch no 6s & killed more ducks than I see now!
