Now I may not be a dye-in-the-wool duck hunter (I've only been a couple of times in my life) but I think it is a sport that I'll be trying this season. Colorado is in a death grip of a drought and hunting opportunities will be scarce due to lack of water, most reservoirs have been drawn down to mud puddle status. I think I owe it to my Benelli Nova 12-gauge to shoot something through it besides dove loads. Anyway, I haven't cooked a wild goose in a very long time, like so long my taste buds have forgotten what a goose baked with wild rice and a shot of red wine tastes
like.
Now I do have the South Platte River close to me, it still runs a mile wide and an inch deep, but does attract the ducks and geese. Puddle jumping has never been my style but I'm willing to learn something new.
Any suggestions on shot loads? The Benelli can take up to 3 1/2" magnum loads, or so the handbook states.
