This weekend is the youth duck hunt in Wisconsin.  My 14 year old grandson was taken out to the marsh this morning.  He fired 3 shots from his Browning BPS 16 ga. and got a drake woodduck and a drake BW teal.  One happy young man.  Also dad and grandpa.

Hey popplecop, glad to hear your grandson had a great hunt.  I'll guarantee his dad enjoyed it as much or even more.   2 ducks with 3 shots is a better average than most!
Hope there are pictures to follow.

2 ducks with 3 shots is a better average than most!
And with a lowly 16 gauge as well!;)  EVERYONE knows  you need a 3 1/2 inch magnum loaded with hevishot to kill a duck!:D
Hey popplecop.....what type of ammo was he using?  Congratulate him on a successful hunt from all of us, O.K.?

Ducks and geese have become immune to 2 3/4 #5.  You just cannot penetrate a elk or deer with anything but a 300 Mag.
So "they" say.

I believe he was shooting 1 oz bismuth 6s followed by Federal steel 2s.  Some years ago I picked up several flats of bismuth 16s both 1 oz and 1.25 oz. 6s on a closeout sale.  They have served us well.
