I find it close to unbelievable that there are still no 12 bore 2 3/4 steel loads available! Surely there will be some before the next season?

As I am sure, some of you know that Dave Hagerbaumer was out in that storm. He and his cousin were lucky to make it out ok. Dave told me that the interesting part of the day was that about 30-45 minutes before the storm arrived vast flocks of ducks appeared. He said large flocks landed near them...

Brad, Glad you have one of those hats also! Wish I had gotten 25 at the time they were available. No, I did not get your email. Might be because I have a new email address: slpress@comcast.net

Bob, Sorry don't want to sell it.

I have serious doubts that there is a more classic Filson than the following: Several years back Filson made a tin hat for the Washington Brant Foundation. Aside from Washington Brant Foundation printed on the hat, there is a flying black brant and Filson. I had four, and gave two a friend in...

Zane, Not certain if your Barbour is the same coat a friend and I were talking about last week. He said they are no longer made and are selling for 800 pounds in England! Why that subject came up we were discussing the camo pullover made by LL Bean. I use to wear one, and when he came over to...

Just found some Federal 2 3/4 12 bore 3s steel at Reeds in Walker, MN. Was able to get two cases, and the fellow told me they had just got in a shipment. Phone number: 800 346 0019. Hope this helps!

Regarding the current lack of 12 bore shells, I wonder how many on this site depend on the 2 3/4 size? As for myself, 3 inch shells for ducks over decoys is an overkill. Back in the 1950s one of my favorite loads for decoying ducks was 20 bore 7 1/2. And during a period I shot my Ithaca side by...

Mike, As things turned out I didn't buy those Kent shells at $36 a box. A very good waterfowler from this site offered to send me a case. A sporting goods store in his area went out of business last year and he purchased 17 cases. But had not this very kind offer been made, I would have gone...

Unbelievable! I was able to find Kent 2 3/4 4 steel shells. The price? $36.00 a box! Think I paid about $12.00 a box in the past. And the person who found these for me said these were the cheapest! Things are beginning to look grim. And yes, I am going to buy a case. Don't want to gamble on...

Chuck, I have a new email address. It is slpress@comcast.net. Thanks

Wonder if anyone has any information regarding 2 3/4 steel loads being available for this coming duck season? I am starting to get concerned. Best, Worth

Bill, Good to hear from you. Sorry, I can be of no help. But wish you good luck on your project. Worth

As has already been pointed out, punt guns are still allowed in the UK. But very few wildfowlers still use them. It could be that as few as 20 wildfowlers still put their punts and big guns in the water currently. What is interesting about punt guns is the successful shots don't come around...

Brad, I have a couple of unique brant decoys that you might have an interest in. Please send me your email address and I will send you a photo. Hope all is well. Worth

Some members may have an interest in dog sweatshirts and T shirts being offered by Keezeek. I especially liked the black Lab one and ordered it. Best, Worth

Lately I have been watching British wildfowling films on You Tube. Some are excellent. There is a guy in Ireland that makes them somewhat frequently. He shoots from a drop dead wonderful old stone blind on the edge of a bay. Just guessing, he is using a GoPro. And seems to have it mounted on his...

Eric, Please send me your mailing address so that I can get a check off to you. Hope you have an excellent Christmas and ducks into the decoys. Best, Worth

Andrew, I wrote several articles about my duck hunting in Australia. One for Delta Waterfowl, one for Gray's, and one for the British magazine Shooting Times and Country Magazine. There was also a decoy maker from SC who also wrote articles, but I forget which magazines. I made trips down...
