Joe shoots Remington 870s in 20ga and 12 ga, a Remington 11-87, or his new Benelli Nova duck gun. Joe's a long-time avid waterfowler, hunting ducks each fall on the upper Mississippi River in Wisconsin and on the wetlands in Juneau. Favorite shooting memories: bagging a 3/2 buck on an alpine hunt this summer and a spectacular double on greenwing teal, October 2004.
