More Duck Hunting NEWS!


So, When we got Soldier as a pup, I decided that it would be fun to train him to do what our forefathers originally bred him to do: HUNT! Labrador Retrievers were and still are used as water dogs to retrieve waterfowl that has been shot down. I have NEVER done any hunting before, and I feel like my manliness has suffered somewhat. So I have been reading and talking to people (trying to get plugged in to the social pipeline). Soldier's retrieving skills are coming right along, and for Father's Day, Sunny gave me some money to put towards a shotgun. Here is a picture of the one I am currently eyeing. Any thoughts fellow bloggers...

Although my gun knowledge isn't what it used to be. . . it looks pretty awesome to me. The camo look for some reason makes it appear like it came out of the civil war. I like that!

Dave. It's a 26 inch barrel man. Don't insult the shotgun man. Benelli also makes a 28 inch barrel but I went to Ruff's Sporting Goods in Flagstaff and handled the gun. Unless I also plan on using the gun as a boat paddle, I don't think 28" will be necessary.
