A Clean Gun is a Must

So here we are lyin' in a field, anxiously awaiting the nightly feed.  The first bunch that came hard were 3 snows and a blue.  Take 'em, Boom, Boom, Click, Cycle, Boom, Click.  This was followed by a few choice cuss words, and dropped just one when they were all at about 8 yds.  Cycled the feather duster a few times making sure it was ready for the real show to come.  Here comes the show.  About 9 Can's charging hard and dropping air.  Take 'em.  Boom, Boom, Click, Click, Boom, Cycle...Too late to even fire.  A guy can't say enough about keeping one's feather duster clean.  Could've at least had a can of Rem Oil.  Two guys ended up with a Snow and 2 Can's for an hour and a half field hunt Wednesday night.  With a properly functioning firearm a two man limit should have been easy.
Went to the Ditch Thursday morning and manged just one Mallard.  That's all the we saw.  The incoming weekend weather should push the remaining amount of birds from the North.  South Dakota has Sat Sun Monday night temps -7, -14 and -18 with snow forecast two of the three days.  This will probably be the last push of the season.  We are gonna stick it out one more morning Sunday before we call it quits for the season at the Ditch.
That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest and thanks for all the hits.
