Killed the first pair that came in a drake and a hen, hen was banded so that was a plus.

Ain't it great makin a double like that..just one two.. That matrix isn't cheap but it does kill well. The only Kent shells i will shoot. I have some in 20 ga..The ducks are showin up here too. Little nasty weather today. Saw flight ducks and locals goin and coming to the feed. Saw some geese too. Canadas..Snow up in the mountains. Down to about 5500 ft..yippee..we even had some ...RAIN. A real rarity here.
