    There were some long seasons in some areas.At least the breeding season for the mallards has had a good start.
    I think Shadow would think your a good bugger any night Chris.

    Today's effort before the weather packed in.



    PS, the mag blocker (to have the 2 in the mag and one up the chamber limit) kept giving me feeding jams all day.
    Really had to make sure I fully chucked the action to avoid this.
