[QUOTE="Dorkus, post: 3979881, member: 47598"] There was a major drought in the late 80s, early 90s up north if I remember correctly. Limits were reduced quite a bit with at one time mallard drakes were 50 points each, a hen was 100. So you go get all set up and could be limited out with one bird. It was also the beginning of steel shot, which was beyond horrible for the first decade or so of its existence. Shot would literally bounce off ducks and we spent a lot of $$$ on swatter loads for cripples. That is when I bought my ten gauge and used it exclusively for that reason. We still went whenever we could but they were lean years and it drove a lot of people away from duck hunting. [/QUOTE]
