Ryan is an ex-combat marine that will tell you that its waterfowl above anything. He is chasing the elusive 41, and I have been engaging Ryan over the last several weeks about addressing some of the stupidity we are finding in hunting and specifically waterfowling i.e., the biting of the duck bill, the pushing the bill of the duck into the shotgun, etc. A thought provoking discussion.
