I went for some waterfowl hunting this weekend. Ended up with more than I bargained for. Three large Canadian honkers, the largest was weighed around 19.2lbs which almost hit me on my face as it fell, imagine 19 lbs falling at you from the sky from about 45 yards. The rest is a mixed bag.

Weekend WaterFowl Hunting
Friends,

You want more gun control? Use both hands!

Very Nice!
What are the bag limits in your area? Are there daily bag limits or just seasonal bag limits?
Thanks for posting the photos.

Re: Weekend WaterFowl Hunting
oops sorry forgot to compliment you for the main thing:
Bravo well done
.
One will find many shooters with a good aim and big bags. Better aim than yours and bigger bags. But this sort of consideration is not common and i hope more people were like you. You have truly excelled here and are a true hunter.
Kudos to you and keep it up.
I hate to take plastic water bottles in the field as I do not want to trash the area.

I have seen the Canadas come in like diving bombers.They make a great visual. Taking them at those speeds is not easy. I wonder how they taste.

You are right, they are the "diving bombers" and they taste real good. My 5 year old who does not like to eat any kind of wild meat is in love with it. Now the only thing she wants is to have a honker in her plate.
