yeah my main duck hunting partner shoots a nova and loves it, I hiked all around looking for some quail but couldnt find any when I was actually looking for them. Those are a pair of green wing teal I got on the duck season opener. This gun is the bomb!!, if you have the money and hunt alot and want a durable super reliable gun this is the gun to get. ive been through 2 cheaper shotguns in the last 2 duck seasons
