Andy!
The man formerly known as Clayton (AKA Clayton the poacher) will heretofore be known as Andy. The name Clider gave him. It is becoming a tradition that the newest member has the responsibility of naming the New Guy. Clider, named by Cliffy, received that honor as someone finally took up the challenge of joining the team. Andy was just a skier with a bad knee when he called and told me that he re-purposed a Browning over under as his new duck murdering device. And like any new hunter we asked him to come hunt with us in the tradition of showing people how we do it here at the H7HT. Turns out the crazy bastard said yes. Big mistake.
You will soon hear about how Andy braved the elements to take up the mantle of the 4th spot vacated by Cliffy this year. Seems Cliffy's boss at the candy store wants him to run around with lollipops and pop rocks falling from his hands and out of his pockets at all hours of the day. It must be tough for Cliffy to get 'The Sugar' while a new guy slays his birds. And slay he did.
This picture is the only one I could take as he was generally shooting the whole time. The whole time! Notice the 'steely' glint in his eye as he shot steel for the first time. Sure his old over under may have only shot 2 3/4" lead but after shooting some ducks with real mans ammo he realized that becoming part of the H7HT is the greatest accomplishment of his life*. Welcome Andy.
GBCH.
*likely not the greatest accomplishment of his life.
