Biggest King to date at 33lbs and change My nephews first trip on the pond!

We def saw more Squaws then Scoter this morning. Mostly immature drakes and hens though. Mature drakes were few and far between. Scoters did not fly till later and worked the decoys the best when we were out retrieving our down birds, go figure! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Tried for Mallards Saturday with zero luck! Decided to hit the Lake this morning and was able to almost get our 2 man limit. Could have killed many more but didn't want to take any more hens so decided to let them land and fly away! Ended up with 6 Squaws 3 Scoters and one bonus Mallard.

LOTS of sheaded bucks already, i would say it is due to the lack of rain we had.

Very cool!

Only was able to get out a handful of times at best do to deer hunting. Love the late season and can't wait! Water should definitely start opening up with this warm up! Was a little worried about numbers, but hopefully should be ok.

I would have to say for the money Browning is the best camera. We have all brands except for the real high end ones and Browning out performs!

The old Book of Face! Nothing but trouble there!

Oh yea, Merry Christmas!

Has definitely been a great year on this thread, by far the most info shared amongst everyone! Love to see that other people love this sport as much as I do! Maybe kill a few Ducks after the Holidays then more than likely heading to Ohio to try and get some bone on the ground! Hope they all don't loose their horns before then, hearing of a ton of Bucks that have sheaded already!

That's your signature move! Lol

Ummmm...... Nasty! What a shame!

I would bet that your problem comes down to the primer. A European made primer will be a few thousands bigger in diameter compared to an American made. Which may not sound like alot, but when you are trying to make a vacuum chamber you can get alot more blow back. Rio G 600 primers are what I'm planning on getting when I make the switch to the Blackhorn 209. Tighter is ALWAYS better! And like Pap said always fire off a primer by it self before loading to assure no residue is left from cleaning.

I talked for a while with a guy a few years ago that shot black powder for competition. He swore to me that there was no way that you are burning all the powder with .150 grains! He said all it does is blows out the end of the gun, creates ALOT more smoke, and makes the gun ALOT dirtier after every shot. Also that when you do not get all the powder to burn consistently, obviously alot harder to group consistently. Not saying this true for everyone but all that info has proven true for me! When I make the switch to Blackhorn I may try up to .115 grains but nothing over that.

Was skunked on my last sit, good thing I was lucky enough to get the doe for the freezer last night. 3 weeks of a break then hopefully heading back Ohio again but with the muzzleloader this time! Can't come soon enough!

Good job Joe! Love the donkeys!

Last sit in New York for 2016 for me also. Don't have high hopes here but I guess you never know!?

Yea that's the plan just have to get the proper breach plug for the gun to be able to shoot it.

100 grains of 777 and a .295 grain Barnes Expander MZ bullets! Really want to switch to granular powder next season. But what I'm using now tips them over pretty damn good. It's the only thing I use all season . Shotgun never leaves the gun cabinet!

Couldn't agree more Brian, the Accura V2 is an awsome gun! Took this girl at 70 yards with it last night and was dead before I pulled the trigger!

Heart is my favorite also!! To put a hole in that is!

I finally touched one off this evening! Not a buck but a big mature doe. Had 4 deer around me most of the time I was on stand. Waited to see if a buck would show but never did. Took the shot at about 70 yards and she didn't make it 40 yards. Took the top of her heart off and made a pretty bad mess of one lung. With the season at its end had to get another one for the freezer.

Nets are for fishermen! Gross is what matters

Seen deer all over in my drive, and kicked one up walking in. Hoping this warmer wether makes them want the winter wheat. Only small bucks get the pass from here on out!
