Did my last duck hunt of the year with my brother yesterday. Did pretty well even though the weather was freezing cold and blinding snow for a hour or so.

Late season ducks sure have great plumage. Too bad you didn't see all those honkers standing right behind you[

I wished we seen some of them honkers but don't see very many of them out where I hunt just use my full bodies decoys to hide me and my layout blind[

What kind of a year did you have? Last day looks great. What area of the state were you hunting?
[signature]
I had a great year! ended the season with 134 ducks and just 3 geese but I don't target geese like I do ducks. I hunt mostly up north, northern part of Great Salt Lake[

That gun looks like a Franchi 912. I've got one and love it.
[signature]
Yes it is[
] I love my Franchi 2!! do you have the camo pattern on yours?
[signature]
Mine's just black but it gets the job done. Best value going in a 3.5" gun in my opinion.
[signature]
Not only value but the smoothest action there is on the market! I would definately recommend this gun to everybody if you want a good bird hunting gun[

It's also easy to clean for an auto and I've shot everything from cheap low speed 1 oz. dove loads to 1 5/8 oz high speed steel without any trouble.
