The Fox Collectors forum was founded in 2006 to stimulate interest in the history and production of Fox shotguns. We believe you will enjoy our forum and learn more about the rich history of Fox shotguns.
Vaturkey, you really cracked me up with that one. I'm on the left with my A grade, next is my brother-in-law Jim. My sister, Mary is holding the goose. The girl with the pink, Shelby, is Rocket's girlfriend, and she's holding her first duck (wood duck). Next is Mary's son, Rocket holding the duck and a goose. My brother John with a duck and a goose, and finally, my Dad, (Jack) who so far this year, is duckless. I'm hoping that he gets one soon because there aren't many 90 years that still duck hunt. Maybe one will land in front of him tomorrow. About 30 years ago he made 6 land purchases that ultimately surrounded the entire lake, and our family has a lot of fun doing relatively low impact hunting. Usually at noon on opening day we all meet for sandwiches and story telling. Thanks for asking.
When I started this string I said that things were a little slow and that I need to make some changes to improve my "mojo". So, I went home and grabbed two 70 year old wooden decoys, a 60 year old brown canvas duck hunting coat, and a 116 year old Remington model K. It worked, I picked two more woodies. Sounds like to beginning of an article for our next Newsletter. Jeff
Jeff, your dad looks terrific! It is great that you have a duck spot that all of your family members can enjoy. By the way, how did the retriver in the foreground do on those honkers? Jim
Goodbye Mandy, once in a life time hunting dog. I miss you every day.
I shot one more wood duck this morning, but hunting on my pond was really slow. I saw quite a few ducks, but 90% of them were woodies, and they just didn't want to come in. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get wood ducks to "decoy"? I wonder if wood ducks aren't attracted to a the "Roboduck". On the other hand, last night I watched a marsh hawk dive at the roboduck 5 times.

We used to use a spread of Wood ducks consisting of two or three hens and about half a dozen drakes. Seemed to work pretty well. That was on the Shenandoah river in Va many years ago.
