Alias: Dan The Duck Man (OK)
Age:   Old Fart & a Grampa
Bio:      Born and raised in Northern Wisconsin, but lived all over the U.

to trying that.
Occupation:  Avation
Firearms:  Use several, but still love the old A-5 Browining, have and use 10, 12, 20, 28 and 410, but not all for waterfowl?
Have been keeping a written record of my hunts with photos for many years and enjoy the sport so much, that I had to delay my wedding over 34 years ago to get out opening day, still have the same loving wife, and she is also understanding sometimes? 
Two Daughters who were tom boys and hunted and fished, and trapped with Dad.  A daughter in England and one in Washington State so we travel much and enjoy the grand child.
Wish every young hunter out there the best of our sport. 
My motto:  Shoot Stright, Kill Clean, Use What Your Harvest.
