HEVI-Shot has released two new product line additions to its HEVI-XII Waterfowl lineup: the.410 bore, 1/2-ounce, 3-inch, in shot sizes No. 5 or 7, with a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps.
Early-season birds can be loaded with pinfeathers and have not yet fattened up. Having a recipe to use lean duck breasts without skin provides the perfect reason and incentive to hunt, no matter the time of year.
The breeding population of ducks declined seven percent this spring, while pond counts dropped by nine percent compared to last year, according to the 2023 Waterfowl Population Status report released by the USFWS.
