I do a great deal of upland hunting but it's been years since I did any waterfowling. I now have the time to spend out in the blind and am looking forward to "getting back into it". With that said, I picked up a beautiful Browning Gold 10 gauge not long ago at a great price. I have a number of friends that own 12ga. 3.5s and some seem to think that the 10ga is over kill. Lets see 2 ozs of shot -vs- 2 ozs of shot????? I hope to be dropping Canada's as well as ducks here in the great white north of Michigan.

Your insight?

Oh, one other thing.

It seems, again according to some friends. That wood and blue steel have no place in a waterfowl blind. I do understand the need for camo but I just don't think that the birds have gotten all that smart since the last time I was hunting them.

Again your insight?
