meet Aston, our son Nathans good buddy
he came to spend weekend with us and had never shot a duck before, Saturday I took him out and my old single barrel Astra Cyclope did the biz on a big male Parrie
then to top that off we had a great arvo jump shooting today we got it just right on one mob Nathan doubled with the SxS
Aston doubled with the single...quick reload
and I managed 4 with my pump
8 ducks at once...raining mallards!!!!! only one was a hen too my last shot at last bird to fly out of ditch.
we retrieved them all with help from the faithful pooches then sat and plucked em then and there
when we got home Aston got stuck in and gutted them with me while Nathan washed them ..all in freezer now.
the lads then cleaned the guns
a great weekend and a neat young fella to have around, not one whinge all weekend.

Well done.

Great adventure, Elvis. Thanks for sharing. When I saw your post in the Top30 List I got excited because I know you post good picture. What happened to your uploading skills, mate? Rusty? Those pictures are so tiny, you'd be lucky if they were worth a 150 words.

Cellphones automatically export images at reduced resolution. Export them again but override the settings so they come out full resolution.
