Productive afternoon.

Post by Nath »

What to take. I was tempted with my air rifle!

The rimmies just weren't talking to me. Fancy an early with the 22 tomorrow if wind good.

Cartridge shotgun. Nooooo.

Got to be a flintlock then 🙂

I got my gear ready last night so today as soon as the fires were made and lit me and Jess headed for a small patch the owner gracefully let's me help myself.

I was just putting the sneak on a rabbit when this dark pheasant comes running at me! He disappeared in a cloud of smoke. No delay from the lock, klatch boom. 32g of mixed #1& BB at 25yds crumpled the bird.

Next was a rabbit and then another cock bird at 30yds. I shot as he ran for cover but lifted instead. He was hardly off the deck when he disappeared in the smoke.

Image

Content I turned for the car and on the way got another rabbit. Jess was sent to catch the crippled rabbit before it made earth. The plucks of hair showing just two strikes to the spine.

Not a bad haul for a primitive gun.

Nath, something tells me you might have been expecting a fox :wink:

Pretty cool Nath....it must really be something to "lead" a running/flying animal with a flintlock. ----6

Another thing.....52 years ago I started hunting and I have never seen another hunter dressed as finely as you. We're all pretty much bums over here.---6

Someone is going to have a nice meal or two. Jess is looking happy to have done her part.

Good job Nath. Jess too. Front stuffer deer season for me starts in the morning. I rolled six cartridges yesterday. More than enough for this year. Paper cartridges just like the good old days. Cap lock for me though and even a scope but a traditional Hawkin with iron furniture except for the brass patch box.

I did have a little calling session in an old favourite spot but nothing seemed to be stirring.

Thanks everyone.
