So what got to you?

We had to pass the rangers on the way out, but we did get a BBQ'd snag wrapped in bread from them too. So upshot: we did actually get something for out license fee.

Steel lived up to expectations. First birds on a low fast pass, ripped into them, duck I fired three shots at did not even slow down. I thought "crap, whats happened to my shooting" then huge clumps of feathers came raining down. Pluck and release they should call it. After that I modified my approach and shooting a bit as per what I had been told and managed to fold the next one up cleanly.

So it was the 'old faithful' sitting in the corner giving you the eye. Good stuff.
