First time duck hunting. I started hunting at 41, to get outside more, to spend time with my brother and to put my firearms to use. We don't have much in the way of equipment and goose/duck decoys are WAY too expensive for some reason, but that doesn't stop us.
We jumped ducks at several sloughs in the area and scored 5 the first day. Today we hit some federal lands we had seen before and came away with 13 in total!
I'm so frigging hooked now. Shooting clays is one thing, but ducks are another. Pride is hitting two dekeing Teals in one pass.
Oh I was shooting a Mossberg 500 with Score #3 3 inch shells. Stripped down and waded in for one the first day, brought an inflatable dinghy this time around.

I envy all you guys shootin teal, greenwing is on my bucket list! Congrats on the birds brother, it's never too late to get into it!
I was gonna get a kicks choke, hows it pattern?
Between work and autumn clean-up I managed to get out for the first time this year. I'm aware of flyways where I hunt ducks, therefore I set in a location without decoys or duck calls. My 8 duck daily limited could out been achieved 5 fold. I passed up many ducks to prolong my stay. Mother nature gave me a spectacular sunrise along with a diversity and abundance of ducks..........I had a great morning.

Im happy with the patterns. All the tests I've done with my gun showed improved patterns over the factory chokes. I chose the Kicks choke because of its length and because its heavily ported. I cant say its the best option because I havent tried other comparible chokes out of the same gun, but Im very please with it.

Nice is not even the best word to describe those pictures! I'm sure the muskrat was unhappy with you but he'll get over it haha. Is that a fabarms shotgun? If so how do you like it? What kind of ammo were ya usin? Awesome scenery and shoot you had there!
Hey man as long as yer happy with it that's all that matters, I might have to pick one up and see if the ported tubes really make that much a difference in kick.

Some people say it doesnt make a difference, others say its negligible. I cant say that it single handedly made a substantial difference, but there was a bit of an improvement. Obviously the new recoil pad made the biggest difference, but for me any additional reduction in recoil was worthwhile. I wanted to upgrade the factory chokes with something extended to increase the barrel length anyway, so this kind of killed two birds with one stone.
Oh absolutely man, anything to reduce recoil is a win in my book. As I said in a earlier post due to a previous head injury guns I used with ease are no longer a option without a heavy duty recoil pad cause I get some real bad migraines from the kick now.
Yes it is a Fabarm and never had a problem with it. It settles onto the shoulder nicely where I'm looking right down the rib to the front bead. I usually shoot 3" No# 4 steel for ducks. I use a variety of brand name shells: Heavy Metal, Blind Side, Black Cloud and Kent. All of them shoot equally well. LOL!!!, yes the buck-tooth rodent was displeased with me when I used it's home as a temporary residence. He circumnavigated me on three occasions with discuss, LOL!!!
It was a great morning with the spectacular scenery that was offered. Ducks were really flying that morning and passed-up many at barrel length.
Nice! I tried to whack a goose with my paddle last night when I was comin back up the pond after shootin light... Almost got him too haha.
I been lookin at a Fabarm for my Pa cause the pumps are gettin hard on him these days, haven't read much bad about em. How do you like those blind side? Do they perform similar to the black cloud or nearly identical? I love the black cloud they work awesome but I hate pine gum burn buildup in the gas system so I quit usin them. The blindside interest me.
Gotta watch them muskrat they'll getcha, guess I can't blame him though I think I'd be pretty unhappy somebody usin my house as a platform haha. I don't know how you pass birds up at barrel length, I'm out there to shoot food I just couldn't do it man... Eatin duck right now! I'll try and get the pictures of this weekend up tomorrow.
